SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
Summary: Peer Hull Kristensen is Professor of the Sociology of Firms and Work Organization at the Department of Business and Politics. Copenhagen Business School, where he is currently co-leading a world-class initiative on institutional competitiveness. His research interest is the comparative study of national business systems, labour markets, the organization of multinational companies, and the ongoing mutations of capitalisms. His current focus is on how changing forms of work organization enable new firm strategies globally and how this in turn is made possible by making novel use of institutions and creating novel institutional complementarities. He has published widely on these issues and his book with Jonathan Zeitlin. Local Players in Global Games: The Strategic Constitution of a Multinational Corporation is seen as significant contribution in international business studies. --Book Jacket.
