Abstract:
|
This paper has two distinct aims. First, I would like to present and discuss the national
business systems (NBS) framework ( Whitley, 1992,1992a,1996,1997). NBS framework
concerns how national variations in economic co-ordination and control systems
facilitate and constrain organisational change. The NBS is not widely known in the Latin
America countries, and this paper intends to shortly present it The second aim is to
question, based on the NBS approach, some of the assumptions about the diffusion of a
new universal template for organising work (Lean Production) and its agent, the
multinational corporation. |
