13 Changing Competition Models in Market Economies: The Effects of Inter‐nationalization, Technological Innovations, and Academic Expansion on the Conditions Supporting Dominant Economic Logics
Get accessRichard Whitley is Emeritus Professor of Organizational Sociology at Manchester Business School, University of Manchester. He has undertaken extensive work in the sociology of science and the changing organization of higher education. He is also a major founding influence in the comparative study of economic organization and societal business systems. Richard’s publications include: The Intellectual and Social Organization of the Sciences (Oxford University Press, 1984, 2000); Business Systems in East Asia (1992); European Business Systems (1992); The Changing European Firm (1996); Governance at Work: The Social Regulation of Economic Relations (Oxford University Press, 1997); Divergent Capitalisms: The Social Structuring and Change of Business Systems (Oxford University Press, 1999); National Capitalisms, Global Competition and Economic Performance (2000); The Multi-National Firm (Oxford University Press, 2001); Competing Capitalisms (2002); Changing Capitalisms? Internationalization, Institutional Change and Systems of Economic Organization (Oxford University Press, 2005); Business Systems and Organizational Capabilities: The Institutional Structuring of Competitive Competences (Oxford University Press, 2007); The Changing Governance of the Sciences (2007); Reconfiguring Knowledge Production (Oxford University Press, 2010); Capitalisms and Capitalism in the Twenty First Century (Oxford University Press, 2012); Organizational Transformation and Scientific Change: The Impact of Institutional Restructuring on Universities and Intellectual Innovation (2014); and Changing Asian Business Systems (Oxford University Press, 2016). His work on the comparison of higher education systems and the problem of university ‘actorhood’ has been a significant influence on the thinking behind this handbook. In 1998–9 he served as the Chair of the European Group for Organizational Studies and in 1999–2000 was the President of the Society for the Advancement of Socio-Economics. In 2007 he was elected a Foreign Member of the Royal Swedish Academy of Letters, History and Antiquities. Current research interests include the study of how the changing governance of public science systems is affecting scientific innovations in different countries and how different kinds of innovations are legitimated and established in different artistic and scientific fields.

Abstract
This article distinguishes between the major competitive approaches adopted by leading firms in the OECD economies in the post-war period and outlines a framework for analysing how some of the key changes in the business environment since the collapse of the Bretton Woods system have affected the conditions encouraging companies to pursue these in different contexts. It presents a taxonomy of seven ideal types of competition models that resemble many of the dominant business strategies identified in comparative studies of twentieth-century capitalisms. The article also suggests how different kinds of conditions seem likely to encourage firms to follow particular types. Next, it summarizes the major changes that have taken place in many market economies since the 1960s which have often been cited as important factors influencing institutional and business system restructuring, and indicates how they can be expected to alter these conditions, and so affect dominant competition models in different economies.
