Book by Whittington Richard Mayer Michael

Críticas:

... very interesting book ... a convincing study ... This study is a good and balanced example of formulating a bounded science of this type and of performing research in such a context. (Organization Studies)

Almost 40 years after the publication of the seminal Strategy and Structure; Chapters in the History of the Industrial Enterprise, by Alfred D. Chandler, Jr., its rightful European heir has finally arrived. (Industrial Relations Journal, 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))

Whittington and Mayer have a very lucid writing style and their findings are easily summarised ... This is a persuasive vindication of the Harvard model as regards the European experience, which can be recommended to business historians as a coping stone to the house that Chandler built. (Business History)

This volume which can easily be slipped into a briefcase is to be recommended to the business executive who wants to know "why" as well as "what". (European Business Review)
