The Transformation of Corporate Control is written by Neil Fligstein and published by Harvard University Press. It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 0674903595 (ISBN 10) and 9780674903593 (ISBN 13).

Neil Fligstein challenges prevailing theories of the corporation and proposes a radically new view in which the firm is driven not so much by market forces as by the state and its policies toward business. Fligstein traces the evolution, over the past century, of corporate strategy from an initial emphasis on direct control to one of manufacturing, then sales and marketing, and finally today's focus on finance.
