Abstract

The relative decline of the USA as an industrial power and the economic success of Japanese firms during the 1980s has renewed interest in the transfer of organizational forms and practices across nations (for instance, Lincoln, 1988; Mair, Florida and Kenney, 1988; Brown and Reich, 1989; Lincoln and Kalleberg, 1990; Florida and Kenney, 1991). Yet our understanding of transfers of organizational techniques across borders has made little progress due primarily to limitations inherent in the conceptual framework used. In this chapter we propose a neo-institutional framework modified by insights drawn from the comparative world-historical literature for the analysis of cross-national transfers of organizational techniques.
