Andres Hatum's book on organizational flexibility is indeed a pioneering contribution to knowledge of the adaptation of family firms in emergent economies. In combining cross levels of analysis of firm, sector and national business environment he gives a unique picture of the contextual forces driving change. Through his detailed time series analysis of managerial action, he is able to expose and explain the mixture of context and action which accounts for variation in organizational flexibility over time. This is a notable contribution which others can build on for years to come.'
