How did the conduct of business come to be so different in
different countries? Why are some less developed countries in the
process of rapid industrialization while so many others remain
poor? Analysts often point to national differences in the cultures
of business to explain these patterns. What then, accounts for
these differences in culture? We can gain some insights into these
issues by considering the incentives that are likely to shape the
behaviors of upwardly mobile sub-elites. Patterns of elite
initiatives in the early years of industrialization have an
enduring impact on the subsequent conduct of business.
Understanding the impact of history can provide important insights
into contemporary business practices. Viewed from the perspective
of developmental history, apparently independent phenomena can
often be seen as different aspects of a common pattern. Questions
about the relation between our collective past experiences and
future performances are also relevant for our understanding of
democratic self-governance. Governments are generally engaged in
nation building. What works? Why? Where are we collectively headed?
This volume suggests some answers. Author David Hanson develops an
analysis that focuses on governing elites, the need for security,
and the search for status. His analysis rests on considerations of
social structure, conflict, and psychology rather than on
resources, markets and economics. The result is a book to offer
international managers an understanding of history's critical role
in fully understanding the societies in which they operate.
