Abstract

During the past decade there has been a revolution in firm management, which greatly affected the relative international competitiveness of European, American, and Japanese firms. This paper examines this revolution in terms of the process of firm globalisation, their utilisation of information technology, firm architecture, and innovation as it evolved during the past decade across the Atlantic and the Pacific, and how firms in the leading economies have participated in and have been affected by this revolution.
