Review Managing Labour in Small Firms (Routledge Studies in Small Business) / Routledge:This book explores the manner in which the size of the organization influences the employment relationship with a focus upon small enterprises. The majority of organizations in the UK economy are categorized as small firms, having fewer than 50 employees, and in 2002 such firms were found to provide 43% of jobs within the economy (DTI, 2002). Clearly these organizations make a critical contribution to the British economy, yet - surprisingly - until quite recently very little was known about how such firms managed their labor. Since the 1990s there has been a growing of evidence which has explored the employment relationship in small firms and this book fulfils an important task by recognizing the importance of this literature, and also by moving the debate forward. Managing Labour in Small Firms also acknowledges that size - whilst influential in shaping firm behavior - will interact with context to create particular employment relationships. These relationships are examined in chapters covering:* HRM in the smaller organization* The challenge of undertaking research in such firms* The impact of regulation* The influence of social embeddedness* The affect of the national minimum wage* Training and development* Pay construction* Employee representationThese discussions link the key themes and concepts within employment relations, and illustrate how firm size shapes their articulation and consequent management. Written by well respected specialists in the field, this is one of the only books on the market covering this topic, and as such it will be an essential text for researchers and graduates studying business and management, human resource management and industrial relations.

Review Varieties of Corporatism: Theory and Practice / Cambridge University Press:This book provides a comprehensive discussion of the concept of corporatism. It seeks to develop models of the different types of corporatism against the background of a general model, It represents the first systematic attempt to clarify, rather than simply discuss, the concept of corporatism in its various usages. It examines the three varieties of corporatism: a body of nineteenth- and twentieth-century prescriptive economic and social thought; the practice of certain authoritarian regimes with private ownership of the means of production and wage labour; and a theoretical tool of analysis employed to study relations between organised groups and the state in ostensibly liberal democracies. It draws on a wide range of historical and contemporary writing on the subject, and includes a detailed study of the ideas behind and nature of corporatism in Fascist Italy and in Portugal under Salazar and Caetano. The discussion of the varieties of corporatism is clearly related to current debates in the social sciences on its nature.

Review The Entrepreneurial Factor in Economic Growth / Palgrave Macmillan:The supply of entrepreneurship is a crucial factor in economic growth, although it is often overlooked in modern economic theory. The main reason for this oversight is that the theory is dominated by the model of perfect competition which, by assuming perfect knowledge, excludes any role for the entrepreneur. There may be imperfect knowledge of many things, including the qualities and prices of products, the qualities and price of factors of production, and technology. Whilst economic theory has given considerable attention to the first of these forms of imperfection, economists have done little about the other two. Yet all three are important in accounting for the role of the entrepreneur. In this book the author proposes two alternative models of entrepreneurial competition and discusses in detail the role of entrepreneurs and the factors influencing their supply. Harold Lydall is the author of "The Structure of Earnings", "A Theory of Income Distribution" and "Yugoslavia in Crisis".

Review China's Rational Entrepreneurs: The development of the new private sector (Routledgecurzon Studies on China in Transition) / RoutledgeCurzon:The ability of China's entrepreneurs to establish firms in the midst of a strangling bureaucratic system is a topic which demands attention not least because it forms the basis of China's economic development. This book presents a fresh analysis for understanding the behavior of Chinese entrepreneurs and what kind of relations they have with local government in order secure long-term business success. Using theoretical approaches informed by neo-institutionalism, institutional economics and cultural studies and a database drawn from extensive fieldwork, the book explores how far these approaches fit the Chinese reality on a micro-level and analyzes whether Chinese business behavior follows the economic rationale or needs to be explained by its culture and institutions. The overall picture which emerges is that social capital at a local level is the most crucial factor explaining the emergence of private firms in China. While local governments and private entrepreneurs co-operate in order to establish and manager firms, domestic and international competition limits rent seeking and ensures the expansion of functioning markets. The contributors also suggest that behavior based on cultural norms and behavior based on rational decision making are not mutually exclusive in Chinese business relations. By utilizing a wide variety of perspectives this book analyzes Chinese entrepreneurship by linking theoretical arguments with data collected in open and structured interviews, the result of which is an invaluable resource for students of Chinese business and management as well as those studying the Chinese economy.

Review Entrepreneurship, Industrial Location and Economic Growth (New Horizons in Regional Science) / Edward Elgar Publishing:This book examines the interrelations between entrepreneurship, industrial location and economic growth. Thus, it covers a wide range of topics, including: the economic impact of entrepreneurship; industry dynamics; growth and survival of firms; firm location and globalisation patterns; and agglomeration and growth. The chapters in the book demonstrate the need to adopt a broad perspective that combines insights from different strands of literature if we are to better understand these complex economic phenomena. In addition, the original empirical evidence from a range of different countries provides a sound foundation for developing appropriate guidance for policymakers. The contributions in this book will appeal to practitioners and policymakers interested in entrepreneurship, industrial location and industry dynamics. It will also be of interest to economic geographers, environmental scientists and local planners.
