This work challenges the notion that globalization encourages economic convergence and cultural homogenization across national borders. A systematic comparison of organizational change in Argentina, South Korea and Spain since 1950 finds that global competition forces countries to exploit their distinctive strengths, resulting in unique development trajectories. Analysing the social, political and economic conditions underpinning the rise of various organizational forms, Guillen shows that business groups, small enterprises and foreign multinationals play different economic roles depending on a country's path to development.
