Regulation under uncertainty: The coevolution of industry and regulation
As production and design disintegrate and become more collaborative, involving dynamic relations between customers and firms supplying complex subsystems and service, products and production methods become more innovative but also more hazardous. The inadvertent co‐production of latent hazards by independent firms is forcing firms and regulators to address the problem of uncertainty – the inability to anticipate, much less assign a probability to…
From Institutional Change to Experimentalist Institutions
Institutionalist theory has shown how work and employment relations are shaped by national contexts. Recent developments in these theories have been increasingly concerned with the issue of institutional change. This reflects a shift in the nature of the competitive environment of firms from the stable and planned and predominantly national models of economic organization supported by the Keynesian state, which dominated in the 30 years after 194…
New Roles for the Trade Unions: Five Lines of Action for Carving Out a New Governance Regime
This article builds on lessons from Denmark and the Nordic area to offer a novel and comprehensive logic of action within the emerging political economy that may be used to assess the possible new roles that unions can take on. The authors argue that unions are capable of 'civilizing' globalization and current forms of governance by becoming responsible for pushing for a governance regime in a new and more egalitarian direction
The contested space of multinationals: Varieties of institutionalism, varieties of capitalism
The article argues that institutionalist theory applied to multinationals focuses on the issue of ‘institutional duality’, that is, that within multinationals, actors are pressured to conform to the expectations of their home context whilst also being subjected to the transfer of practices from the home context of the MNC itself. This institutional duality leads to conflicts that can be labelled as forms of ‘micro-politics’. The head office manag…
Modelling National Business Systems and the Civilizing Process
During the last couple of decades the comparative study of national business systems has gradually compiled material allowing us to see that neither the social space occupied by the capitalist enterprise in different societies nor its nature as a social entity is given by its universal function as an agency in the market or as an expression of class relations in the capitalist mode of production.
The Multinational Firm: Organizing across Institutional and National Divides
Strategies in a volatile world
Globalization and localization are usually considered to be two very opposite theoretical frames for studying today's political economy. Rather than accepting this theoretical dualism, this article argues that the combination of the two worlds is dependent on strategies. By analysing the action of a business unit of a multinational corporation, it is shown how it is possible for local actors to combine their strategies into a coherent whole by wh…
Denmark: An experimental laboratory for new industrial models
At the close of the nineteenth century, Denmark witnessed competition between several industrial models. One was to transform Denmark into a mass-production society. Countering this were the fanners' co-operative movement and the small artisan firms which organised as local networks. Where farmers co-operatives set up their centres a railway station soon followed and these provided a seed bed for small artisan workshops. Each was dependent on tih…
