WORKING PAPERS 2004-2008    The Sloan Industry Studies program brings together scholars from a wide range of academic disciplines whose research is grounded in direct observation, reflecting very substantial individual efforts to build linkages with industry. The research linkages that they build allow direct access to firms for observation of business practices and processes, access to people in their workplaces, and primary data collection. This academic community includes faculty members, research staff, and post-docs working in a wide range of industry specializations. Their research is informed by many different theoretical traditions and draws upon a variety of quantitative and qualitative methods.    The Editors of the Industry Studies Working Paper Series, Martin Kenney (University of California - Davis), and Frits Pil (University of Pittsburgh), invite authors having unpublished industry studies papers to submit them for consideration in the Working Paper Series. Inclusion in the series does not limit future publication in academic journals. Should contributors wish, after a working paper is published the citation will be posted on this web site in order to direct interested readers to the journal article. For further information or to submit a paper directly for consideration, please contact the editors at WPeditors@industrystudies.org    From the list of working papers presented below, links are available to research abstracts. Copies of unpublished working papers are available by request free of charge; copies of published papers are available from the publishers, who are identified in the citations provided.
