The study of varieties of capitalism is moving on from the analysis
of static national types to embrace local and sectoral diversity
and the study of systems in the process of major change. This
volume addresses the issue by examining four localised sectors,
comparing a German case with one in another European country. The
general changes taking place in Germany itself and the other
countries (Hungary, Sweden, and the UK) form the context of the
studies. The case studies concern:
* Furniture making in North-Rhine Westphalia and southern Sweden,
* Automotive manufacture in east Germany and northern Hungary,
* Biotechnology around Munich and Cambridge,
* TV programme and film-making in Cologne and central
London.
The studies find a complex pattern of conformity with, and
deviation from, national types, but only occasional examples of
where divergence takes the form of a direct confrontation with a
national model. This is partly because national models are
themselves changing; partly because they are often capable of
accommodating more diversity than is often assumed by national
studies; and partly because firms are increasingly able to reach
outside their national boundaries for institutional resources.
