Collective action by firms is a central phenomenon in society, seen
for example in standards setting, multi-stakeholder initiatives,
and in relation to climate change, environmental and human rights
issues. This incisive book reveals how firms set up specific
devices, referred to by the authors as FCADs (Firms' Collective
Action Devices), of which trade associations and chambers of
commerce are the traditional forms, and investigates how firms
organize themselves collectively, and their impact on the economy
and democracy. Delving deeply into previously under-explored
aspects of collective actions by firms, using the concepts of
meta-organization and heterarchy, the book combines and expands on
insights from history, political science, economics, sociology,
management and organization theory. It demonstrates empirically how
FCADs function on the basis of compromise and consensus, and
analyzes their forms of action, their organizational dynamics and
their recent evolution. This rigorous and pluridisciplinary
evaluation of how businesses organize collectively will appeal to
researchers and PhD students in organization studies and business
management, as well as those in other disciplines who are
interested in firms' collective action. It will also be a useful
resource for business practitioners, public servants and
politicians in contact with firms' collective action, and NGO
members.
