As you listen think about:

1. The similarities and differences between SE in these countries2. Why they might be similar to UK (and each other) and why they might be different3. Try to link this back to some of the theories we have discussed e.g. Three Systems of the Economy (Pearce, 2003) Social Origins Theory (Salamon and Anheier,1998) Kerlin (2011)4. Be prepared to discuss your thoughts after the break

Pearces 3 Systems of the Economy

(Pearce, 2003)

Coercive (legitimisation/politics). Can be formal or informal. Meyer & Rowan (1977) argue that as a firm expands, it further reflects the institutionalised rules of the government, meaning that firms become increasingly homogenised.2. Mimetic (standard reaction to uncertainty, making firm more stable) can occur if the environment creates symbolic uncertainty. This is very beneficial, as it cuts lots of costs, just copying already established plans. Firms do mimetic to prove legitimacy to show that they are working to improve. Little diversity firms build on past models and look to future in terms of who they can imitate, judging them on their success and legitimacy. John Meyer (1981) argues that emerging countries are far more isomorphicNormative (associated with professionalism where workers strive to define their roles). Recent growth in professional workers and managers. Two aspects of professionalism: wresting of formal education from university and growth and elaboration of professional networks that span organisations and across which new models diffuse rapidly. Everyone is educated/trained to same level and same fields, becoming homogenised themselves. People at the top are virtually indistinguishable., 1977), because people chosen from same university, with same views on problems etc. Means outsiders are treated with suspiscion.Professionalisation of management works with structuration of organisational fields. Information between people recognises a hierarchy, of centre and periphery, with CEO position to aspire to. Successful organisations will be imitated, reinforcing importance of centralised role. Organisational fields which are of mainly professional workers, will be status-drivenSocial Origins TheoryBusiness Person with a social consciencePolitical leaderChurch leader
