  Note on Comparative Capitalism

  Clayton S. Rose and Rebecca Henderson

  This note draws on academic work, as well as social and economic data across several countries, to provide a basic understanding of some of the differences among capitalist systems. It begins with a description of the system of capitalism, and characteristics that to a greater or lesser degree are universally shared. It then moves to describing two models of "comparative capitalism," as well as examining state capitalism. Finally, for additional perspective the note provides cross-sectional and time-series data for social, economic and political metrics for five different capitalist systems—China, Germany, Japan, Sweden and the United States.

  On Weldon's Watch: Recalls at Johnson & Johnson from 2009 to 2010

  Clayton S. Rose, Sandra J. Sucher, Rachel Gordon and Matthew Preble

  In October of 2010, Johnson & Johnson (J&J) was unable to extricate itself from a year long recall crisis that had subjected the firm to criticism from Congress and regulators, resulted in the resignation of one of the firm's most senior officers, and cost hundreds of millions of dollars from lost sales of J&J brands. This case examines the series of recalls and the strategic and cultural changes at the company that may have led to the recalls. It allows for an exploration of the reality of the iconic J&J "Credo"—its long standing set of corporate values.
