Beskrivning

Neil Fligstein challenges prevailing theories of the corporation and proposes a radically new view in which the firm is driven not so much by market forces as by the state and its policies toward business. Fligstein traces the evolution, over the past century, of corporate strategy from an initial emphasis on direct control to one of manufacturing, then sales and marketing, and finally today’s focus on finance.

Recensioner i media

Neil Fligstein has made a significant contribution to our understanding of the historical development of large American firms. The book fills what had been a vacuum in that understanding by incorporating an explicitly institutional perspective. This perspective sheds particular light on the rise of large conglomerates in the late 1960s and the corresponding finance-driven short term outlook of top managers that has been associated with America’s declining competitiveness.
