The Limits Of Convergence: Globalization and Organizational Change in Argentina, South Korea, and Spain - Tapa dura
Sinopsis
This book challenges the widely accepted notion that globalization encourages economic convergence--and, by extension, cultural homogenization--across national borders. A systematic comparison of organizational change in Argentina, South Korea, and Spain since 1950 finds that global competition forces countries to exploit their distinctive strengths, resulting in unique development trajectories. Analyzing the social, political, and economic conditions underpinning the rise of various organizational forms, Guillen shows that business groups, small enterprises, and foreign multinationals play different economic roles depending on a country's path to development. Business groups thrive when there is foreign-trade and investment protectionism and are best suited to undertake large-scale, capital-intensive activities such as automobile assembly and construction. Their growth and diversification come at the expense of smaller firms and foreign multinationals. In contrast, small and medium enterprises are best fitted to compete in knowledge-intensive activities such as component manufacturing and branded consumer goods. They prosper in the absence of restrictions on export-oriented multinationals. The book ends on an optimistic note by presenting evidence that it is possible--though not easy--for countries to break through the glass ceiling separating poor from rich. It concludes that globalization encourages economic diversity and that democracy is the form of government best suited to deal with globalization's contingencies. Against those who contend that the transition to markets must come before the transition to ballots, Guillen argues that democratization can and should precede economic modernization. This is applied economic sociology at its best--broad, topical, full of interesting political implications, and critical of the conventional wisdom.

De la contraportada
"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 of City 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 University

Condición: Como nuevo. : Este libro desafía la noción ampliamente aceptada de que la globalización fomenta la convergencia económica y, por extensión, la homogeneización cultural a través de las fronteras nacionales. A través de una comparación sistemática del cambio organizacional en Argentina, Corea del Sur y España desde 1950, se encuentra que la competencia global obliga a los países a explotar sus fortalezas distintivas, lo que resulta en trayectorias de desarrollo únicas. Analizando las condiciones sociales, políticas y económicas que sustentan el auge de diversas formas organizativas, Guillén muestra que los grupos empresariales, las pequeñas empresas y las multinacionales extranjeras desempeñan diferentes roles económicos dependiendo de la trayectoria de desarrollo de un país. El libro concluye que la globalización fomenta la diversidad económica y que la democracia es la forma de gobierno más adecuada para hacer frente a las contingencias de la globalización.
