Opis

Using a comprehensive array of primary and secondary sources and in-depth company case studies, this book examines how one vitally important Brazilian industrial sector, the non-serial capital goods sector, coped with the onset of liberalization. While liberalization undoubtedly helped to promote greater efficiency in some areas of corporate performance, the impact elsewhere was far less favorable. This differentiated response raises some interesting and troubling theoretical and policy issues.

Recenzje

Particular reference to the non-serial capital goods sector. It is by focusing on this key sector that the author sets his book apart from the wealth of general studies of the changing policy environment.
