The paper comprises the comparative analysis of Anglo-Saxon and Japan models of firm organization and its position on the market. Here the two approaches face each other: the first one defines firm as mostly the ownership structure and the second one treats firm as the universal society the activity of which depends on the managers’ and employees’ interests.   AU - Ronald Dore UR - https://ecsoc.hse.ru/en/2008-9-1/26594703.html PY - 2008 SP - 65-75 VL - 9
