Chandler and Context
Abstract
This chapter aims to extract from Chandlerism the essential Chandlerian core on which to build a model of the corporation that is dynamic, profitable, and potentially still relevant to the conditions of contemporary Europe. It begins by locating Chandlerism within wider universalist accounts of economy and society, ones that have been particularly influential on the management sciences. It then introduces the critiques of universalism offered by postmodernism and institutionalism. It draws from each of the apparently opposing modes of thought essential ideas that can be combined into a boundedly predictive and practical theory of the contemporary Western corporation. It affirms the continued legitimacy of generalisation, but define the scope of legitimate generalisation more narrowly than the universalists and more broadly than the contextualists.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
