AIMS AND SCOPE
Competition and Change is a new journal that examines the changing nature
of business organization in a highly competitive global economy. The
journal draws on recent scholarship in business economics, political
economy, organizational sociology, economic geography, international
relations and developmental studies to explore the interplay of economic,
political and social forces contributing to global integration and regional
fragmentation.
COMEPTITION AND CHANGE SEEKS TO:
Promote an understanding of the evolving processes of global competition,
and their impact on the changing organizational structure of business and
economics.
Understand more comprehensively the interplay of globalizing and
localizing forces in the world economy, as they contribute to the
geographic extension of business and the intensification of uneven
development.
Create an understanding of the interrelationships between the dynamics of
global competition and the social, economic, political, and environmental
conditions throughout the world.
Discuss matters of business strategy and its relation to political
initiatives at regional, national and local levels.
Explore the geo-political implications of economic transformation as a
global phenomenon.
It will feature articles on such issues as organizational and technological
innovation; the emergence and impact of international regulatory
frameworks; national and regional economic policy; labor conditions and
standards; the local impacts of global competition; the role of corporate
and national cultures; the geo-politics of economic transformation; the
dynamics of economic and business organizations; the future of the
manufacturing industry; transnational corporations; commodity chains and
the changing international division of labor; globalization and the future
of the nation state.
