Abstract:
Many different varieties of capitalism have developed in the twentieth century. Despite the rhetoric of globalization, they are continuing to diverge because of significant differences in dominant institutions. Divergent Capitalisms highlights the major differences between business systems in Europe and Asia and explains why they developed and continue. An invaluable insight for all those interested in international business and organization studies.
