Great for Students Preparing to Enter Corporate America.......2000-04-28
I definitely recommend this book as a requirement/supplement to business economics and management courses. It is very important for students, especially those who are preparing to graduate and enter the corporate world to understand how business cycles operate. This book gives great examples from economists perspective, as well as a manager's point of view. I think that economic and management majors can significantly benefit from a book of this nature. It is imperative for students to grasp the concepts that Modis attempts to display, before entering the work force, so that they will not be blinded to how society and the economy operates.

Changing Firm Boundaries in a New Information and Communication Environment: Evidence from the Manufacturing and Music Industry (Europaische Hochschulschriften. ... V, Volks- Und Betriebswirtschaft, Bd. 2996.)

ABSTRACT.......2004-07-05
In the first part the manufacturing sector is analyzed. Hypotheses regarding the impact of ICT on the governance of business activity are developed based on arguments from Transaction Cost Economics (TCE). I subsequently check these hypotheses against manufacturing industry data in a panel regression design. It is explored to what extent the international dissemination of ICT acted as a catalyst in changing organizational structures. Therefore I compare the degree of vertical integration of manufacturing firms in different countries over time and analyze the role of ICT in this context. The analysis is controlled for alternative determinants of firm boundaries including the institutional, economic and political environment. Vertical disintegration, i.e. slimmer firms, can be found particularly in business environments with high ICT penetration. This can be regarded as tentative evidence for ICT-triggered outsourcing.
The second part focuses on firm boundary changes in the media sector. Media firm boundaries appear to move in the opposite direction: recent increases in vertical integration by major media firms are analyzed regarding the impact of ICT. Using an eclectic theory synopsis, IPRs are identified as an important variable in the relationship between ICT and media firm boundaries. Hence, the impact of ICT on media firm boundaries is studied indirectly by looking at the connection between ICT and IPRs: I test the effect of ICT penetration on recorded music sales figures in a panel regression. The tests show a significant negative impact of ICT on music sales what can be interpreted as a loss of IPRs via ICT-enabled music piracy. Music firms loose sales in business environments with enhanced technological copying capabilities. I conjecture that vertical integration increases are a response of media firms to regain and maintain control over the production and distribution of their products. In addition, the effect of IPR protection is taken into account. Recent regulatory action in form of international treaties initiated by the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) seems to contribute to contain IPR loss.
In my empirical analyses I find evidence that supports the view that the ICT shock has an ambivalent impact on firm boundaries. The comparison of the manufacturing and the media sector shows that distinct product characteristics like intangibility determine the direction of the ICT-induced shift in firm boundaries. ICT plays a role in the fragmentation of value-chains in the manufacturing sector but can provide vertical integration incentives in the media sector.

Changing Work Relationships in Industrialized Economies (Advances in Organization Studies)
Manufacturer: John Benjamins Publishing Co ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback ASIN: 1556197446 |
Book Description
This book examines changing work relationships in industrialized economies within the context of economic restructuring and demographic variables. The goal of this book is to examine experiences of industrialized economies in dealing with changing work relationships and discuss policy implications of creating such work relationships. The thesis of the book is that non-standard employment forms in restructuring economies affected all workers, but particularly females and the youth. Other demographic variables of education level, race/ethnicity/immigrant status, ability, and economic class were also underlying forces in the construction and arrangements of non-standard work. Research shows both positive and negative effects of changing work relationships on workers, though there is no conclusive result whether one or the other affect is stronger. The discussion in this book pays attention to this debate and sheds light on it. This book differs from others in its comprehensiveness of the coverage of work relationships, referring to part-time, temporary/ casual, telework and self-employment without employees; in its examination of a variety of variables including gender, age, race/ethnicity/immigrant status, ability, education level, and economic class; in the analysis of the topic in relation with the economic restructuring; and in its initiative in collaboration of researchers from a variety of backgrounds and regions of the world that have expertise on changing work relationships.
