Dear colleagues, There is still time to submit abstracts for consideration for the SASE Annual Conference in Chicago this summer. SASE 26th Annual Conference The Institutional Foundations of Capitalism July 10-12, 2014 - Northwestern University and the University of Chicago Deadline February 3rd. More details at www.sase.org IB scholars may be interested in particular in submitting abstracts to Network H, Firms, Markets and Institutions (see description below). Thank you and regards, Network H, Markets, firms and institutions This network focuses on the interrelationships between markets, firms, and institutions. New approaches to the study of markets are needed to understand better how different markets (e.g. capital markets, product markets, etc.) and market processes (e.g. competition, cooperation, speculation, risk) are related to the changing strategies, structures and governance of business firms. Moreover, both markets and firms are themselves embedded within various institutional contexts at the sectoral, regional, national and international levels. Institutional diversity impact the capacities of firms and patterns of cooperation and competition in markets, while markets and business interests themselves are important factors in the politics of institutional change. We welcome a wide range of theoretical perspectives (e.g. political economy, economic sociology, management studies, neo-institutionalism, and comparative institutional analysis). Recent topics have included financial systems, corporate governance, inter-firm networks, strategy, national business systems, varieties of capitalism, internationalization and regional integration, business interest associations, and processes of institutional change.
