The late twentieth century has witnessed the establishment of new forms of capitalism in East Asia as well as new market economies in Eastern Europe. Despite the rhetoric of globalization, they are continuing to diverge because of significant differences in dominant institutions. This book presents the comparative business systems framework for describing and explaining the major differences in economic organization between market economies.

`The outstanding feature of Richard Whitley's book is its attempt to take a systemic view of the complex process through which distinctive patterns of economic organisation emerge.'
Times Higher Education Supplement, 16/11/01
`for those interested in the workings of the interconnected world and notions of globalisation, this book provides a valuable perspective on the parallel emergence of diverse forms of economic organisation.'
Times Higher Education Supplement, 16/11/01
`Richard Whitley's book makes a important contribution to (this) debate ... This new book not only brings together the ideas expounded in earlier publications in a new way but also significantly expands and deepens the theoretical framework.'
Christel Lane; Work, Employment and Society, Vol 14, No 4, 2000
`The book provides a very useful intellectual toolkit for comparative analysis of varieties of capitalism and their interaction with an as yet underdeveloped global capitalist system. It not only reliably documents the diversity of institutional and organisational forms found in contemporary
capitalist societies but also enriches our understanding of both continuity and change in such arrangements in a wide range of advanced and newly industrialising countries across the globe.'

Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. The late twentieth century has witnessed the establishment of new forms of capitalism in East Asia as well as new market economies in Eastern Europe. Despite the growth of international investment and capital flows, these distinctive business systems remain different from each other and from those already developed in Europe and the Americas. This continued diversity of capitalism results from, and is reproduced by, significant differences in societal institutionsand agencies such as the state, capital and labour markets, and dominant beliefs about trust, loyalty, and authority. This book presents the comparative business systemsframework for describing and explaining the major differences in economic organization between market economies in the late twentieth century. This framework identifies the critical variations in coordination and control systems across forms of industrial capitalism, and shows how these are connected to major differences in their institutional contexts. Six major types of business system are identified and linked to different institutional arrangements. Significant differences in post-war EastAsian business systems and the ways in which these are changing in the 1990s are analysed within this framework, which is also extended to compare the path-dependent nature of the new capitalismsemerging in Eastern Europe. Divergent Capitalisms highlights the major differences between business systems in Europe and Asia and explains why they developed and continue.
