Limits of Convergence Globalization and Organizational Change in Argentina, South Korea, and Spain

"This is a valuable contribution, based on an impressive collection of different kinds of data combined with some smart thinking. Globalization is almost an academic buzzword, and has generated too much trendy-sounding but muddle-headed thinking. GuillÉn cuts through the jargon and dissects the issues precisely. He also brings some new cases to the discussion. His book will be of interest to academic scholars, but also to policy analysts and business school students."--Bruce Carruthers, Northwestern University, author ofCity of Capital "Mauro GuillÉn's rich narrative of industrial strategy in Argentina, South Korea, and Spain sets its sights squarely on the conventional wisdom. It fills a gaping hole in comparative studies, and it is the first book to succeed at showing the substantial variation that persists in national economic institutions. It effectively undermines a fundamental assumption that shapes contemporary economic thought."--Frank Dobbin, Princeton UniversityGuillen, Mauro F. is the author of 'Limits of Convergence Globalization and Organizational Change in Argentina, South Korea, and Spain' with ISBN 9780691116334 and ISBN 0691116334.
