How is it possible that, although the same idea travels around the globe at a high speed, local realities are still very different? This book shows what is travelling and how it moves between countries and disciplines.Läs merWhile this book can be seen as joining the discussion on globalization and its paradoxical character, it is unique in its rich collection of cases and its frame of reference consisting of a combination of organization theory, new institutionalism and sociology of translation.
