Americanization in Comparative Perspective: The Managerial Revolution in France and Norway, 1940–1990
Abstract
This article proposes a comparative account of the progress of the managerial revolution
in France and Norway over the post-World War Two period. This account is set and
framed within theoretical discussions on and around ‘Americanization’. We argue that
in both the French and Norwegian cases the managerial revolution has been closely tied
to a process of Americanization that has had an impact on economic institutions,
organizations and philosophy. The process of Americanization has to be contextualized
for each of those two countries. The nature of the process has also evolved considerably
over time – from 1945 to today. Hence, we propose that the progress of the managerial
revolution in France and Norway could be looked at as a non-linear process, albeit with
a deep structural logic.
