Consequently, business executives are being  required to reexamine and redefine fundamental relationships -  both intra- and inter-company. \u003cem\u003eThe Dynamic American Firm\u003c\/em\u003e  explores the pivotal factors motivating the organizational changes  that are sweeping American business, with a particular emphasis on the  global marketplace. It provides a critical analysis of the forces that  are shaping strategies and structures of American business,  emphasizing that the process of adaption is more important than  particular strategies and structures that develop along the way. \u003cbr\u003e  The authors begin by illustrating the external factors that shape the  development of the firm, including a combination of technological  advances and increasingly global markets, and proceed to discuss  corporate efforts to adapt to this external environment by means of  changing relationships with other firms. They pay particular attention  to the alliances that help American firms establish a presence in  overseas markets, including the roles of mergers, acquisitions,  strategic alliances, and joint ventures. The book concludes with a  discussion of the internal changes taking place in American firms,  including shifts in organizational strategy and structure, the  elimination of middle management, and the development of work teams.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublication Date: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e31 March 1996\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSpringer US\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eImprint: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSpringer\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eISBN-13: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9780792396628\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFormat: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHardback\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePage Count: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e240\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Springer US","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50804798881932,"sku":"9780792396628","price":98.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780792396628.jpg?v=1781782415","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9780792396628","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
