| Abstract: | The issue of how patterns of corporate restructuring are shaped by national systems of corporate governance and industrial relations is addressed in this paper. Case studies of three multinationals are used to investigate whether the way in which restructuring takes place is converging towards the norms characteristic of the Anglo-American model. It is argued that considerable changes are evident among national systems, but that these changes are not all occuring at the same pace, nor are all countries moving in the same direction. Consequently, the way that multinational companies restructure their activities varies markedly according to both the business system in their country of origin and the various host systems in which they are located. |
