| Tiivistelmä: | Studies of inter-firm relations in modern capitalism have often relied on either an exchange theory or a structural theory of control. Both paradigms prove inadequate in explaining non-Western patterns of inter-firm relations. An institutional theory of power is offered to explain the peculiar patterns of horizontal control that obtains in inter-firm relations within and among large Japanese business groups. In case study two major types of Japanese business groups are described and analyzed. Patterns of inter-firm shareholding are examined. Some additional means of control adopted to reinforce the existing ones are reviewed. Inter-firm relations in the USA and Japanese business are compared, and cross-cultural diversity is shown. |
