Corporate Co-evolution Develops Broader Macroeconomic Principles That Can Be Applied to Today's International Corporate Environment

DUBLIN, Ireland-(Business Wire)-January 31, 2008 - Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c81377) has announced the addition of "Corporate Co-Evolution: A Political Perspective" to their offering.

"Corporate Co-Evolution" is one of the first major works in "Organization and Strategy Research" series of business texts. By tracing the history and growth of Telemig, a major Brazilian telecommunications company, "Corporate Co-Evolution" develops broader macro-economic principles that can be applied to today's international corporate environment. After a general introduction to political regulations and other domains of the corporate environment that impact the growth of companies, "Corporate Co-Evolution" delves deeply into Telemig's past.

The text closely documents and analyzes the dramatic changes over the course of 30 years that transformed Telemig from a "lumbering dinosaur to a soaring eagle" as privatization takes the corporation into the 21st century. The authors skilfully draw out the practical and policy implications of the Telemig experience to develop a broader systematic theory of corporate evolution that is highly relevant to the contemporary business world.
