| Abstract: | This article tests out four high-tech and non-family-owned firms. The framework identified market conditions and strategic choice as key measures, and was useful in capturing practice, though also needing further refinement. The key substantive implications: apparently similar firms in fact behave differently, for reasons to do with their market situations and the choices made, and the firms displaying tensions btw. 'modern' business strategies and 'traditional' and informal employment practices, tensions that the framework helps to capture. |
