    The Twenty-First<br>-Century Firm: Changing Economic and Organization in International Perspective

     
    Transforming the firm to meet challenges of the changing world.
    8/27/2001

    This is not your father's firm. Editor Paul DiMaggio, Professor of Sociology at Princeton presents perspectives from scholars in management studies, organizational economics, and related fields to provide an understanding of the vast changes occurring in the twenty-first century firm. This volume attempts to identify trends occurring throughout the global corporate environment and provides analyses of the nature and long-term implications of these changes. The first three chapters focus on the corporate structure, strategy, and governance in the U.S. and Western Europe, the former socialist societies of Eastern Europe, and Japan and East Asia. The remaining three chapters are commentaries by experts on economic organization who specialize in particular analytic perspectives including legal scholarship, evolutionary theory of the firm, organizational economics, and the comparative historical study of the nation-state.
