The 'Grey Zone' at the Interface of Work and Home: Theorizing Adaptations Required by Precarious Work
This conceptual article develops a framework based on the 'total social organization of labour' for analysing the implications precarious work in the public sphere has for the reorganization of the private domestic sphere. The core proposition is that a 'grey zone' of unpaid labour exists which needs to be negotiated - or at least tolerated - within a household to engage in precarious paid work. A 'grey zone' is theorized as a necessary transitio…
Faces of Precarity: Critical Perspectives on Work, Subjectivities and Struggles
This chapter argues for a perspective on the study of precarious work which draws from earlier critical labour studies and feminist analyses of the role of domestic labour in the reproduction of capitalism in order to focus on the (micro-)social foundations of the (macro-) structural changes in the collective institutions, operations and outcomes of labour markets under neoliberalism. Especially, we point to the challenges that the fading away of…
Business elites and populism: Understanding business responses
This article analyses the challenges to business associated with the rise of right-wing populism. It discusses how the populist turn has weakened key underpinnings of business power in the neoliberal era, notably the prevalence of quiet politics and network governance. This article analyses the complex strategic dilemmas these challenges create for business. Extending Hirschman’s classic model of exit, voice and loyalty, it develops a novel typol…
The Social Organization of Ideas in Employment Relations
This article compares how the United States and Germany deregulated labor markets between the 1980s and 2010s in response to the rise of neoliberalism. Building on literature with a focus on ideas and national knowledge regimes, the authors argue that the trajectories of labor market deregulation across the two countries are explained by the distinct social organization of ideas. The latter refers to the actors and institutions involved in the pr…
Quiet Politics and the Power of Business: New Perspectives in an Era of Noisy Politics
This introduction summarizes the main contributions of this special issue titled 'Quiet Politics and the Power of Business: New Perspectives in an Era of Noisy Politics.' The four articles in the issue use and extend Culpepper's influential concept of 'quiet politics' according to which business is able to shape policies and regulations when issues are of low salience to the public and politicians. The issue takes Culpepper's analysis further in …
Brexit and British Business Elites: Business Power and Noisy Politics
This article analyzes business power in the context of noisy politics by comparing business involvement in two British referendum campaigns: one about membership in the European Communities in 1975, and the Brexit referendum about European Union membership in 2016. By exploring these two contexts, the article seeks to identify the conditions under which business elites can and cannot be effective in a context of noisy politics. Three key factors …
Disruption and re-regulation in work and employment: From organisational to institutional experimentation
This article proposes experimentation as a framework for understanding actor agency in the changing regulation of work and employment. This involves contrasting institutional change with organisational and institutional experimentation approaches in order to understand how, in the context of uncertainty, actors in the world of work experiment with new ways of organising and seek to institutionalise them into new understandings, norms and rules. T…
Extending Varieties of Capitalism to Emerging Economies: What can We Learn from Brazil
In this paper we argue that efforts to apply Varieties of Capitalism to emerging economies can retaining a central role for institutions as constraining, it is important to incorporate into the analysis the nature and role of social blocs and the development of growth regimes. The paper develops a framework that systematically explores the links and interactions between institutions, the politics of social blocs and the viability of growth regime…
Solidarity at Work: Concepts, Levels and Challenges
Solidarity is not a unified phenomenon with unchanging qualities; it partakes of moral, political and performative elements that are underpinned and reinforced by a shared work context, an organisational infrastructure and an institutional frame which together create distinctive path dependencies in solidarity across different forms of capitalism. Neo-liberalism has challenged these path dependencies by changing the material conditions and the id…
Global supply chains, institutional constraints and firm level adaptations: A comparative study of Chinese service outsourcing firms
The focus on inter-firm governance relations within global supply chains analysis has left social relations at workplaces as a ‘black box’ and relatively underdiscussed. Through an in-depth, comparative study of two Chinese IT service providers for Japanese clients, this article explores how the work and employment relations in the supplier firm are shaped by the institutional contexts of both the supplier firm and the lead firm as well as by the…
Brexit: Understanding the socio-economic origins and consequencesThe Fault lines unveiled by BrexitMultiple economies: before and after BrexitAccidental tourists: Brexit and its toxic employment under…
The unprecedented geopolitical shift resulting from Brexit reflects deep socio-economic fault lines within and beyond the UK. In many ways foreshadowing the US presidential election of Donald Trump, Brexit brought to the surface and gave a public voice to socio-economic divisions that were deeply embedded, sometimes illogical, but until now had either been ignored or hushed out of ‘respectable’ public debate. This Discussion Forum emanates from a…

Elites on Trial
The Oxford Handbook of Sociology, Social Theory, and Organization Studies: Contemporary Currents
This article reviews the intersection of scholarship concerned with two types of collective action: social movements and formal organizations. Theories of social movements originated in research on crowd behavior while organization theory was founded on theories of rational bureaucracy. Social movement researchers began importing ideas from organization theory in the 1970s to account for the role of formal organizations, resources and strategic b…
Michel Foucault and the Administering of Lives
This chapter suggests that Michel Foucault is a nuisance for scholars of organizations, albeit a productive one. Foucault disavowed the study of organizations, yet his work was fundamentally concerned with the administering of lives, a central concern of scholars of organizations. The chapter explores this tension by examining four displacements that Foucault sought to effect: first, a move from asking ‘why’ type questions to ‘how’ type questions…

Pushing the frontiers of critical international business studies: The multinational as a neo-imperial space
Purpose – This paper aims to discuss the context- and power-sensitive approach to the study of multinationals that has emerged in the last decade, argues for the need to supplement it by a clearer focus on the wider geopolitical context in which multinationals operate and outlines the implications for the development of IB research in this area. Design/methodology/approach – The paper provides a summary overview of context- and power-sensitive st…
Understanding Capitalism: Crises, Legitimacy, and Change Through the Prism of The New Spirit of Capitalism
This chapter places The New Spirit of Capitalism in the context of the development of capitalism over the last twenty years, up to and including the 200-7-8 financial crisis and the ongoing economic crisis which has developed out of this and is now focused on the relationship between state expenditures, political legitimacy and financial markets. Boltanski and Chiapello's analysis of the projective city and connexionist logic captures important e…
New Spirits of Capitalism?: Crises, Justifications, and Dynamics
After many years in which it appeared to be losing the pre-eminent position it once occupied in the lexicon of the social and human sciences, the term 'capitalism' has once again become a matter of critical concern both theoretically and substantively in a range of disciplinary fields. The global financial and environmental crises, and the shifting economic power geometry associated with the rise of the BRICS and the sovereign debt contagion in t…

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…
Supporting the City: Economic Patriotism in Financial Markets
This contribution argues that economic patriotism constitutes a specific form of managing the relationship between open borders and the political pressures of specific territorial units in an era of neo-liberal globalization. It focuses on the case of the City of London and shows how, in the period from 1997 to 2007, the state pursued specific strategies that would support the international position of the City in ways which were firstly within g…
Capitalism in crisis: Organizational perspectives
The financial crisis, which began in mid-2007 and reached a crescendo in September 2008 with the fall of Lehman Brothers and its immediate aftermath, ushered in a severe period of doubt for those who had expounded the benefits of free market capitalism.Gillian Tett, one of the Financial Times' most insightful reporters on the crisis wrote on March 10, 2009 that not only is the financial system plagued with losses of a scale nobody foresaw, but th…
The Oxford Handbook of Comparative Institutional Analysis
It is increasingly accepted that matter for economic organization and outcomes. The last decade has seen significant expansion in research examining how institutional contexts affect the nature and behavior of firms, the operation of markets, and economic outcomes. Yet institutions conceal a multitude of issues and perspectives. Much of this research has been comparative, and followed different models such as varieties of capitalism, national bus…
Corporate Strategy, Organizations, and Subjectivity: A Critique
This paper attempts to develop a new approach to the study of corporate strategy. It draws on the methodology of Michel Foucault to suggest that corporate strategy can be seen as a discourse which has its own specific conditions of possibility. These are traced historically to various exercises of power within the conduct of war and the development of business organizations. Strategy is located as an emergent set of practices which has distinctiv…
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…

Neo-liberalism has challenged these path dependencies by changing the material conditions and the id…
Transnational communities and business systems
The paper examines the concept of 'transnational communities' as a way of understanding globalization practices in business and management. It argues that 'transnational communities' are emergent properties of the internationalizing of economic activity. Three specific aspects of this process are considered in detail: the development of multinational companies; the development of international regulatory bodies; and the development of cognitive a…

Market formation and governance in international financial markets: The case of OTC derivatives1
How are markets developed and governed? The article reviews four perspectives on the formation and development of markets and market governance - the political perspective (Fligstein), the network perspective (White), the framing perspective (Callon) and the soft law/expert power perspective (Slaughter). It then utilizes these perspectives in order to understand the development of the market for over-the-counter (OTC) derivatives. It finds that t…
Globalization, multinationals and institutional diversity
This article aims to explore the impact of globalization and in particular multinationals on diversity within national varieties of capitalism. Do the actions of multinationals create more diversity within national systems, do they reduce diversity or do they have relatively little impact on diversity within national systems? The article argues that there are distinctive structures of institutional diversity across different national systems. The…
Gendering Jobs: Corporate Strategy, Managerial Control and the Dynamics of Job Segregation
The paper argues that the understanding of gender relations at work necessitates an explicit consideration of corporate strategy and managerial practices. Through the detailed examination of relations within a financial services company, we show how certain important issues of corporate strategy revolve around the gendered nature of particular jobs. The struggle within senior management to develop a corporate strategy was reflected in the lower l…

The Concept of Strategy in Sociology: A Note of Dissent
This paper takes up the debate on strategy initiated by Crow (Sociology 23). It argues that the concept of strategy has been uncritically appropriated by sociology. It has been treated as though it were an unproblematic concept, whereas in fact it is embedded within specific discourses and has particular social effects. In particular, Crow fails to consider the explicit use of the concept of strategy in two key areas of social life - the military…

Legitimacy in financial markets: Credit Default Swaps in the Current Crisis
The current financial crisis appears to be a moment of epochal change, an archetypal ‘legitimation crisis’. This paper examines the impact of this collapse on one particular section of the financial markets that concerned with credit default swaps. This paper shows how and why the markets for these products expanded and why they were integral to the financial crash. The consequence of the crash was a huge loss of legitimacy for these markets. Thi…
Family Networks and Employment in Textiles
The paper explores the extent to which the family remains of significance within the workplace. Considering material derived from a study of a textile mill in Yorkshire, the paper shows that family ties remain crucial within the company. It then goes on to consider the significance of these ties. It rejects the view that these ties can be seen as anachronisms or as evidence of paternalism in the manner identified by Martin and Fryer (1973) or New…

Beyond path dependency? Constructing new models for institutional change: The case of capital markets in Japan
The study of national business systems is increasingly concerned with the issue of path dependency and change. This paper seeks to clarify this debate through a theoretical and empirical examination of these issues in the context of change within the Japanese financial markets. The first section considers the meaning of path dependency, institutional complementarities and positive returns. It argues that it is necessary to distinguish the societa…

The paper examines the way in which the management of a large life insurance company controls its sales force. Whilst the paper seeks to contribute to an understanding of an under-researched occupational area - that of sales - it is concerned to do this within a theoretical framework derived from the critique and development of labour process theory. Thus the sales process itself is examined as the site of a complex series of practices mediated b…

Class Theory and the Structural Location of Black Workers
The theory of comparative capitalisms and the possibilities for local variation
Globalization is placing European societies under pressure to change. In the 1990s, researchers identified particular national models of capitalism. These were argued to consist of integrated and reinforcing institutions that created specific rules of the game for economic actors. These rules favoured the development of globally competitive firms in particular sectors where the institutional characteristics of the home society facilitated the bui…

From West to East and Back Again: Capitalist Expansion and Class Formation in the Nineteenth Century
One of the clearest trends in recent sociological theorizing has been the dawning recognition that for too long sociologists have unproblematically taken for granted the centrality of national boundaries in their discussions of social structure. The concept of society has drawn in its trail a whole set of assumptions that the nation-state is the basic framework for sociological analysis (cf. Urry, 1981). Such an approach has involved bracketing o…

Corporate Strategy, Ownership and Control
The labour process debate has failed to analyse systematically the 'deus ex machina' in Braverman's original contribution, capital. This paper elaborates a complex conception of capital which differentiates circuits of capital - industrial, banking and commercial - both within the firm and in the economy as a whole. The specific way in which these circuits are integrated and the meaning of this for firms is examined through a case study of events…

Organizations and Environments
In this chapter I consider in more detail the influence of the environment on organizations. In particular, I concentrate on the impact of the market on organizations. The environment as a whole is a major source of uncertainty for managements trying to maintain processes of control and co-ordination within organizational boundaries. It is not surprising, therefore, that we find organizations coming together in order to manage that uncertainty, t…

Making Sense of "Quality?"-Toward a Review and Critique of Quality Initiatives in Financial Services
This article provides a broad classification and critique of the theoretical and empirical approaches toward quality initiatives. These are the "technical" managerialist, social managerialist, and critical nonmanagerialist approaches. The technical managerialist approach is based upon the flawed assumption that practice follows policy almost like night follows day. By contrast, focusing on intraorganizational politics and the tensions of hierarch…

Introducing Strategic Discourse
This chapter marks a shift in our analysis of change towards the dynamics of organizations operating within and simultaneously shaping the contexts which we have described earlier. At a broad level, our approach is to examine how organizations and fields link together through the development of particular discourses and practices. As we described in Chapter 1, discourses constitute ways of understanding situations and thereby relate to modes of a…
Marketing Discourse: Its Emergence and Contradictions
In the previous chapters we argued that financial services organizations and those who worked inside them gradually began to reconstitute themselves from the point of view of strategic discourse. As the old field of relations which had connected the state, financial institutions and consumers together began to fall apart, managers began to evolve new ways of looking at their world and intervening in it. Strategic discourse provided a framework an…
Transnational communities and business systems
The paper examines the concept of 'transnational communities' as a way of understanding globalization practices in business and management.

Global managers and Japanese multinationals: Internationalization and management in Japanese financial institutions
The paper examines the internationalization of Japanese banks in the 1980s and 1990s and the experiences of managers within them. These banks underwent a vast expansion in international activities in the 1980s, followed by an equally rapid contraction in the 1990s. Building on a series of interviews conducted in London and Tokyo in the period 1999-2001, the paper examines how this impacted on the careers and expectations of both Japanese and non-…

An increasing number of studies in the last decade or so have emphasized the viability and persistence of distinctive systems of economic coordination and control in developed market economies. Over more or less the same period, the revival of institutional economics and evolutionary approaches to understanding the firm has focused attention on how firms create distinctive capabilities through establishing routines that coordinate complementary a…
