They were unable to realize possible synergies between the two companies, which brought complementary resources into the merger. Furthermore, they did not account for the institutional embeddedness of strategies when they adopted lean production globally, diffused the production system developed in Germany to other parts of the world and tried to implement a global stock enlisted in New York and Frankfurt. The underlying theoretical framework is relevant for other merger and acquisition cases. It features institutional embeddedness, path dependency and institutional arbitrage.Originality/valueThe paper develops an institutional perspective on DaimlerChrysler and on cross-border merger and acquisition failure more generally. The perspective is organized around the varieties-of-capitalism approach. This contribution is important because there is increasing dissatisfaction with the dominant explanation of cross-border merger and acquisition failure, which is based on the allegedly failed management of culture “clashes.”}}, author = {{Riach, John Rankin Wood and Schneider, Martin}}, issn = {{2059-5794}}, journal = {{Cross Cultural and Strategic Management}}, keywords = {{Organizational Behavior and Human Resource Management, Strategy and Management, Sociology and Political Science, Cultural Studies, Business and International Management}}, number = {{3}}, pages = {{552--568}}, publisher = {{Emerald}}, title = {{{The DaimlerChrysler takeover failure revisited from a varieties-of-capitalism perspective}}}, doi = {{10.1108/ccsm-12-2020-0250}}, volume = {{29}}, year = {{2022}}, } @article{29224, abstract = {{Altruistically motivated investment has become the subject of economic, psychological and sociological research in recent years. The long tradition of ethical considerations concerning investment behavior has often been mentioned by historians but rarely investigated. This paper presents a case study of the 19th century philhellene banker Jean-Gabriel Eynard, who was philanthropically active in Greece, but also invested part of his capital on the emerging Greek market. Drawing on the methodological approach of the “sociology of morality”, this article examines how Eynard invested in Greece, which norms and values concerning investment behavior he articulated and how far they were comparable with the norms and values of today’s Socially Responsible Investment. What emerges is that the practices and the norms of Socially Responsible and Ethical Investment then and now are remarkably similar, while the “moral background” (G. Abend) has changed considerably in some, but not all points.}}, author = {{Schönhärl, Korinna}}, issn = {{0340-8728}}, journal = {{Vierteljahrschrift für Sozial- und Wirtschaftsgeschichte}}, keywords = {{Economics, Econometrics and Finance (miscellaneous), Sociology and Political Science, History, Cultural Studies}}, number = {{2}}, pages = {{167--190}}, publisher = {{Wissenschaftliche Verlagsgesellschaft mbH}}, title = {{{Socially Responsible Investment in 19th Century Greece: A Case Study of a Swiss Banker}}}, doi = {{10.25162/vswg-2019-0007}}, volume = {{106}}, year = {{2019}}, } @article{42673, abstract = {{The article analyzes how an emerging form of automation may drastically transform contemporary employment dynamics. Recent breakthroughs in the field of artificial intelligence (AI) make it possible to automate both manual and mental non-standard tasks. The first part of the article traces the development of AI. Whereas classical algorithms required the creation of a hermetic environment for AI to thrive, modern neural network-based AI is capable of surviving in the chaotic realm occupied by humans. Based on an analysis of changes in the nature of AI, the authors distinguish between substitutive and supplemental automation. The former refers to a complete replacement of humans by machines, while the latter indicates a selective substitution of humans in specific professional functions. In order to conceptualize professions as a nexus of automatable components, the authors employ Goffman’s dramaturgical framework. Goffman studied the social visibility of professional activity. Goffman held that any profession can be divided into invisible routines that are fundamental to it and a dramatization that makes the profession socially visible. The article demonstrates that the current utopian and antiutopian views of automation both reduce work to its visible components and neglect the logic of supplemental automation. The authors argue that the targets of modern automation are not the socially visible components but the invisible routines. In the final section, the authors develop a model that takes these invisible professional routines into account and analyze what effect this new type of automation may have on different types of professions with differing degrees of social visibility.}}, author = {{Klowait, Nils and Erofeeva, Maria}}, issn = {{2499-9628}}, journal = {{Philosophical Literary Journal Logos}}, keywords = {{Literature and Literary Theory, Philosophy, Cultural Studies}}, number = {{1}}, pages = {{53--84}}, publisher = {{The Russian Presidential Academy of National Economy and Public Administration}}, title = {{{Work in the Age of Intelligent Machines: The Rise of Invisible Automation}}}, doi = {{10.22394/0869-5377-2019-1-53-80}}, volume = {{29}}, year = {{2019}}, } @misc{36379, author = {{Pöllmann, Andreas}}, booktitle = {{Ethnic and Racial Studies}}, issn = {{0141-9870}}, keywords = {{Sociology and Political Science, Anthropology, Cultural Studies}}, number = {{3}}, pages = {{490--492}}, publisher = {{Informa UK Limited}}, title = {{{Strategies of segregation: race, residence, and the struggle for educational equality}}}, doi = {{10.1080/01419870.2018.1520274}}, volume = {{42}}, year = {{2018}}, } @article{40492, author = {{Sackel, Johanna}}, issn = {{0340-8728}}, journal = {{Vierteljahrschrift für Sozial- und Wirtschaftsgeschichte}}, keywords = {{Economics, Econometrics and Finance (miscellaneous), Sociology and Political Science, History, Cultural Studies}}, number = {{2}}, pages = {{183--200}}, publisher = {{Wissenschaftliche Verlagsgesellschaft mbH}}, title = {{{„Rationale Fischerei“?
