This work explores the interplay between capitalism and cultural contexts, particularly focusing on lessons from Asia. It begins with an examination of 'Post-Confucianism' and its impact on economic culture, followed by a comparative analysis of economic resource coordination. The network structures of East Asian economies and the role of bureaucracy in shaping industrial culture are also discussed. The text contrasts growth processes in Chinese and Japanese firms, providing insights into their developmental patterns. The discussion then shifts to regulation and deregulation, addressing corporate governance and the dual role of accounting as both a business language and a social communication tool. The challenges of deregulation in managerial work are highlighted. In the third section, the book delves into organizational adaptation, analyzing the governance structures in modernizing China and the dynamics of change and stability in Japanese factories during the late 1970s and early 1980s. It also considers the influence of Japanese practices on British industrial culture and the unique economic culture of small manufacturing firms. Finally, the work examines the consequences of culture on values in action, including the cash value of Confucian values, the role of ethnicity and religion in family capitalism, and the phenomenon of charismatic capitalism in direct selling organizations across the USA and Asia.

The first of a two-volume paperback edition of the "Handbook of Organization Studies". The contributors locate the study of organization by reviewing some significant theoretical paradigms and reflect on the relationships between theory and research in organization studies

This wide-ranging analysis both explores current approaches to organization studies and relates the concepts of modernity and postmodernity to the realities of organizational structure and context. In surveying alternative perspectives on organizations in terms of ideal types, systems, contingencies, ecologies, cultures, markets and efficiency, Clegg demonstrates that no single approach is adequate to deal with the real-world variety of organizations that exist. Drawing upon unusual and revealing examples - the production of French bread, Italian fashion and `post-Confucian′ Asian enterprises - he argues that their success cannot be reduced to `culture′ but must incorporate a fuller understanding of the ways in which organi
