Asa Economic Sociology Section Newsletter Accounts

چکیده
Global economic changes and the role of multinational firms have been of central interest to economic sociologists. Mauro Guillén—who holds appointments at the Wharton School and the Department of Sociology at the University of Pennsylvania—has made important contributions to our understanding of these issues through several books. Models of Management (The University of Chicago Press, 1994) compares different patterns in the adoption of major managerial paradigms in four countries during the twentieth century and highlights how institiutional—rather than purely economic or technological—factors underlie those patterns. The Limits of Convergence (Princeton University Press, 2001) challenges the conventional “flatearth” view of globalization as a homogenizing force and suggests that, in fact, global competitition leads countries to exploit their unique strengths, resulting in distinctive developmental trajectories. More recently, Building a Global Bank: The Transformation of Banco Santander (with Adrian Tschoegl; Princeton University Press, 2008) and The Rise of Spanish Multinationals (Cambridge University Press, 2005) examine how numerous Spanish firms have emerged as prominent global players in the past few decades. In the following interview, I asked Professor Guillén about ongoing changes in the character of the global economy and its prominent players, about his current research, and—more broadly—about the future of economic sociology.
