Description: "Christian Berndt investigates how German corporate actors respond to globalization and the apparent crisis of the German Model, exploring the role of economic and non-economic factors in shaping business strategies. Based on empirical research in the Ruhr area, the book argues that routine interaction at the regional level continues to play a crucial role in shaping corporate adjustment."--Jacket.
