Beyond firms: Multi-firm models for global scale and scope
L’histoire des entreprises et la recherche en stratégie se sont longtemps concentrées sur les firmes et les branches. La recherche sur les groupes, soit une unité d’analyse distincte allant au-delà des entreprises sans pour autant embrasser les industries tout entières, est elle aussi nécessaire. Si certaines publications existent, les groupes en compétition ne sont pas encore considérés de manière globale et systématique, notamment quand ils peu…

Like so many Japanese factories, this one - the Yanagicho works of the Toshiba Corporation - is highly productive, efficient, and flexible.

Networks, markets, and the Pacific rim: Studies in Strategy
Despite the negative press Asian economies have received in connection with the recent financial crisis, their record of spectacular growth over the past few decades remains irrefutable.

In this articl…
