Abstract

This paper uses the divergent patterns of large-scale retailing in the USA and Britain to explore the limitations of the conventional view of the rise of large-scale organisations in terms of the role of market forces, the visible hand of management and the work of Chandler and Williamson. Their analysis pays insufficient attention to the role of legal frameworks, state regulation, the relationship of market power and collusion and the role of class structures.
