About this book

Despite a shared interest in the analysis of complex organizations operating in complex environments, macro-organization theory and research on the multinational corporation have developed quite independently of each other. This book, the product of a collaborative endeavour by scholars from both fields, represents the first systematic effort to build a broad bridge between these two areas of research.

Reviews

'An excellent collection of essays which provides both the general and specialist reader with a fascinating insight into the latest advances in organisational theory.' - John H. Dunning, Universities at Reading and Rutgers.
