A reconceptualisation of social value creation as social constraint alleviation
Purpose - The purpose of this paper includes two interconnected objectives. The first is to provide a reconceptualisation of social value creation as social constraint alleviation. The second is to respond to the call put forward by Giuliani and Macchi (2014) to produce synergies between bodies of literature exploring the development impact of businesses. The paper focuses on ideas from the global value chain/global production networks (GVC/GPN),…
Commodity chains, foreign investment and labour issues in Eastern Europe
In terms of ownership and operations, many companies in Eastern Europe have now been integrated into the world economy. In this article, informed in part by a critical engagement with the Global Commodity Chains (GCC) perspective, we explore the nature and significance of international linkages among firms in Eastern Europe. In particular, we argue that it has been the legacies of the state socialist past embedded in the inherited macro‐ and micr…
Ownership, control and authority in emergent capitalism
The liberalization of the former state socialist societies of Eastern Europe, coupled with the loss of traditional markets, was expected to lead to the radical restructuring of work organization and workplace authority relations. This was especially likely in enterprises which had been privatized. This study of 385 workers in thirteen Hungarian industrial enterprises found that supervisors in foreign-owned firms had more authority and responsibil…
Golbalization, institutional legacies and industrial transformation in Eastern Europ

This article, starting from a sympathetic, though critical engagement with the global commodity chains (GCC) perspective, explores the extent to whcih this perspective is relevant to the analysis of the international firm networks that have developed in Estern Europe. In so doing the article examines the wayus the institutional legacies of the state socialist past and inherited …
The Transformation of Work Processes in Emergent Capitalism
The removal of state support for enterprises and the intensification of competition following the liberalisation of markets in the former state socialist societies of Eastern Europe were expected to result in the major rationalization of employment and work organisation, especially where ownership and control had changed. This study of 271 production workers in 13 Hungarian enterprises shows that the state-owned enterprises (SOEs) in the most sev…
Ownership, Control and the Management of Labour in an Emergent Capitalist Economy
Institutional change and the privatization of state enterprises were expected to transform the former state socialist economies of Eastern Europe. In particular, it was thought by many advocates of `shock therapy' that changes in governance structures would lead directly to major changes in labour management practices and greatly increase productivity as a result of removing state control. However, ownership and control changes have had only a li…
