New article explores paths to privatisation taken by European telecoms operators
Andreas Kornelakis
Dr Andreas Kornelakis (Lecturer in Human Resource Management) has published a new article via Taylor & Francis investigating the 'distinct paths to privatisation and internationalisation' taken by two major European telecommunications operators.
Titled 'European market integration and the political economy of corporate adjustment: OTE and Telecom Italia, 1949-2009', the article examines the two companies in the context of the 'Varieties of Capitalism' framework and suggests that their divergent paths are 'explained by the domestic actors' preferences, and to a much lesser extent attributed to the globalising forces of technological change and competition'.
