During the 1980s and 1990s, organisations have undergone both regulation and deregulation. This set of papers written by a distinguished selection of international experts examines the nature of regulation, its evolution in particular sectors and its impact on social and economic equality. It draws on social theory concerned with the nature of regulation and order in modern societies as well as providing as a series of detailed analyses of particular forms of regulatory regimes in national and international contexts. The book should be of particular interest to management and business researchers, sociologists and political economists concerned with the process of regulation and its impact on organisations and management.

Economics in Sweden contains the results of one of the most comprehensive attempts to evaluate research in economics ever undertaken. A team of Swedish and international researchers, including Avinash K. Dixit, Seppo Honkapohja and Robert M. Slow, examined the structure of economics in Sweden and its results. They identified postgraduate education as a key area, and their findings will be of particular relevence at a time when many countries are restructuring their graduate education programme.

An Evaluation of Swedish Research in Economics

Economics in Sweden

Mercury Meets Minerva seeks to uncover and analyse how business problems have won acceptance in academia and how academic values have come to influence business education. The study provides short accounts of the development of universities and the progressive growth of business schools, plus discussions of the scope of business administration and the organizational features of universities. Using Sweden as an empirical example, the main theme is explored through reviews of the creation of academic business education, the process of selection of professors, research orientation, the impact of new ideas, and the development of the basic business administration curriculum.
