Elite Fragmentation in the United States
The actions of societal elites exert a disproportionate impact on events and outcomes in their home societies. These actions are driven by a combination of factors internal and external to their nation. Using the leaders of large American corporations-the group I call the American corporate elite-as an example, I examine the extent to which these two forces affected the character and orientation of the group, from the period immediately following…
Corporations
The corporation is a legal entity constructed to facilitate economic cooperation between individuals. This mode of social organization emerged from European trading companies and evolved into massive manufacturing and service firms in the twentieth century, many with international reach. One branch of scholarship on the corporation has focused on relations within the firm, especially the mediation of owners and managers, the distribution of statu…
Elites
By definition, individual elite actors have a disproportionately high level of resources at their disposal with which to influence society. The question is whether such elites are able to act in a unified and effective manner. During the twentieth century, scholars discovered mechanisms that led to elite cohesion and unified political action. In the early twenty‐first century, these mechanisms have ceased to function. Elite researchers are thus f…
The Fracturing of the American Corporate Elite
In the aftermath of a financial crisis marked by bank-friendly bailouts and loosening campaign finance restrictions, a chorus of critics warns that business leaders have too much influence over American politics. Mark Mizruchi worries about the ways they exert too little. The Fracturing of the American Corporate Elite advances the surprising argument that American CEOs, seemingly more powerful today than ever, have abrogated the key leadership ro…

The Conditional Nature of Embeddedness
Economic and organizational sociologists have increasingly demonstrated that the actions of individuals and firms are affected by the social networks within which they are embedded. In recent years scholars have begun to recognize that the effects of these social networks may vary across populations or types of relations. This article examines the extent to which the effects of interfirm networks on the behavior of firms are historically continge…
Corporate Control, Interfirm Relations, and Corporate Power
In a democracy, citizens possess an array of rights and privileges. Among these benefits is that all citizens are viewed as equal in the eyes of the law. No one is intrinsically endowed with a disproportionate set of political privileges. All citizens have a right to pursue their political objectives, as long as they do so in a legally sanctioned manner.
The Architecture of Markets
Getting Deals Done
Economic actors confront various forms of uncertainty making decisions, and how they deal with these obstacles may affect their success in accomplishing their goals. This study examines the means by which relationship managers in a major commercial bank attempt to close transactions with their corporate customers. It is hypothesized that under conditions of high uncertainty, bankers will rely on colleagues with whom they are strongly tied for adv…

Business Organization and the Myth of the Market Economy
Networks of Interorganizational Relations
Network analysis has been used extensively in the study of interorganizational relations. This article reviews the literature over the past fifteen years and organizes it into three theoretical traditions: the resource dependence model, the social class framework, and the institutional model. It is shown that network methods have enabled researchers to describe phenomena, such as interorganizational fields, that were previously inaccessible. It i…

Determinants of Political Opposition among Large American Corporations
Political sociologists have focused considerable attention on the extent to which corporate elites are politically unified. Few studies, however, have examined the extent to which corporations oppose one another. This study examines the determinants of corporate political conflict by focusing on the extent to which pairs of firms contributed to opposing Congressional candidates in the 1980 elections. Using a sample of 1,596 dyads created by relat…

Similarity of Political Behavior Among Large American Corporations
Political sociologists have debated for decades, without resolution, whether elites in advanced capitalists societies are integrated. Rather than ask whether elites are integrated, this study examines the conditions under which convergence of political behavior occurs, focusing on campaign contributions of political action committees in the American business community. A model of similarity in corporate political behavior is proposed that draws o…

Economic Sources of Corporate Political Consenses
This paper examines the sources of political consensus between major industries in the American economy, employing data on campaign contributions of corporate political action committees in the 1980 Congressional elections. Drawing on elements of the resource dependence and social class models of intercorpoorate relations, we examine the effects of volume of transactions between industries, the economic leverage of one industry over another, and …

Economic concentration and corporate political behavior
Local Sports Teams and Celebration of Community
In major sports events between representatives of different cities, the home team has been known to have a major advantage over the visiting team. Drawing on Durkheim, Schwartz and Barsky (1977) have demonstrated that the social support of the audience is the main determinant of this advantage. In their conclusion, Schwartz and Barsky characterize sports events as a “celebration of local community” (p. 658). This article tests the celebration of …

Assaultive behavior in normal school children
Intercorporate Relations
Within the last decade, researchers studying business organizations have come to realize that corporate behaviour cannot be explained in terms of the actions of individual firms alone, and that in order to understand how businesses operate it is necessary to explore the relationships among them. This volume constitutes the first compilation of work by leading international scholars who have adopted a structural approach to the study of business, …
