The European Corporation by Richard Whittington
This work traces the evolution of the large industrial corporation in France, Germany, and the United Kingdom, from the 1950s to the 1990s. It combines long-run trends with case studies of leading companies and their managers to present a rich and complex picture of corporate change.
Almost 40 yeares after the publication of the seminal Strategy and Structure; Chapters in the History of the Industrial Enterprise, by Alfred DChandler, Jr., its rightful European heir has finally arrived. * Industrial Relations Journal, 32,5, 2001 *
This book asks big questions, is written in a vivid and engaging style, provides an unusual historical perspective and is certain to provoke debate about challenges of social science and the future of the large corporations that dominate research in our field. * Administrative Science Quarterly (ASQ) *
