AI and actor-specific decisions
Artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly seen as potentially replacing humans in decision-making and problem-solving across many domains. AI is effective for many well-specified decisions. But we argue that AI cannot deal with what we call “actor-specificity.” Actor-specific decisions and problems are (a) forward-looking, (b) individual and idiosyncratic, (c) reasoning-intensive, and (d) experimental—requiring intervention in the world to fac…
How Technology Is (or Is Not) Transforming Law Firms
In this review, we explore the impact of technology on US and UK law firms, focusing in particular on the recent machine learning wave of artificial intelligence. Technology has not so far ushered the end of law firms as we know them. Adoption of artificial intelligence/machine learning is in its early stages in the sector, and its impact has been constrained by the scope of use cases for which it is so far well-suited. Technology is nevertheless…

This section identifies national institutions of relevance for professional skills, which…
Continuity and Change in the Japanese Economy
The political economy of Japan has been characterized by tightly knit institutions of relational coordination, such as the main bank system, lifetime employment, long-term supplier relations in intermediate product markets, and neo-corporatist business–labour–government relations in policymaking. By the late 1990s, however, diverse patterns of organizing have become evident, with the growth of new stock exchanges and venture capital, the developm…
Strategy Meets Institutions
This comparison of labor-management relations at Deutsche Telekom (DT) and NTT Group (formerly Nippon Telephone and Telegraph) demonstrates the value of considering both institutions and strategic decision-making to understand the interaction between companies and unions. As corporations diversify, multi-divisional or holding company structures emerge, but the degree of diversity introduced in employment relations within the corporate group depen…
Administrando Parques Industriais De Autopeças No Brasil
O artigo compara três parques industriais de fornecedores de autopeças no Brasil - na Volkswagen de Resende (RJ), na General Motors de Gravataí (RS) e na Ford de Camaçari (BA). A partir de visitas e entrevistas realizadas nas três localidades, no final de 2004, o estudo revela a diversidade de arranjos locais no que diz respeito a três dimensões: o padrão de propriedade de ativos, o grau de terceirização de tarefas e a natureza da relação com os …
Are Skills the Answer?
This study of the problems confronting institutions for the creation of occupational skills in seven advanced industrialised countries contributes to two different areas of debate. The first is the study of the diversity of institutional forms taken by modern capitalism, and the difficulties currently surrounding the survival of that diversity. Most discussions of this theme analyse economic institutions and governance in general. This book is mo…
