ABSTRACT
Modem discussions on network capitalism shed light on the thesis about the existence of a plurality of models of capitalism. According to a quantitative evaluation of managerial and economic literature, the frequency with which the term ‘network’ is used has risen dramatically during the last decade (Boltanski and Chiapello, 1999). The basic idea of network capitalism involves the localization of transactions: economic subjects act locally instead of being involved in transactions on a depersonalized market with a potentially unlimited number of participants.
