Jacques-Henri Coste, « La « réinvention » de la grande entreprise américaine : de la gouvernance économique retrouvée à l'utopie menacée d’un monde-Amérique », Presses Sorbonne Nouvelle, ID : 10670/1.qe4cfi
A radical transformation of American corporations was undertaken in the early 1990s thanks to drastic managerial methods and encompassing integration between local firms and global networks. Subsequent economic success has helped self-regulated network firms acquire world-wide governance. Big American corporations have become efficiency instruments but also political institutions restoring America’s leadership. Such “governance structures” have given birth to a newly emerging production model which is both envisaged as a managerial canon and a pragmatic, economic, and cultural project extending American values to the world. The renaissance of the American firm, seen in the light of the recent financial crisis, may also appear as an ideological “reinvention”.
