Alliance Capitalism and Corporate Management by John Dunning [Repost]

As national economies become more closely linked, the value of more active corporate and policy-level co-operation is becoming increasingly recognized. This book promotes the concept of alliance capitalism - a spirit of collegial entrepreneurship - as a means to facilitate more harmonious development in the international economy. The authors examine balances between the competitive and co-operative activities of firms and governments in major industrialized countries from perspectives of efficiency and social justice. They advocate co-operation to overcome internationalized market failures and policy failures, and to reduce imbalances in the spread of gains from global commerce.
