This important new Handbook of Economic Organization is a highly
successful attempt to integrate economic and organization theory.
Anna Grandori, who is herself a leading scholar located at the
boundaries of economics and organization theory, is to be
congratulated on doing a superb job bringing together such a high
profile group of internationally acknowledged scholars. Each of the
essays in the book are original and contribute to demonstrating the
valuable insights that economics can make to our understanding of
organization and organizational design. Anna Grandori's
introductory and concluding chapters are not only excellent audits
of the current state of our knowledge in this field but they also
give a strong sense of direction for the possible futures of the
discipline. Anna Grandori is not afraid to face head on some of the
more philosophical issues relating to 'organization' as an object
of study and is to be commended for doing so. The economics of
organization is a new, exciting and developing field and the essays
in this book will help to shape the research agenda that will take
this emergent discipline to its next stage.' - Peter M. Jackson,
University of Leicester, UK'This sweeping, comprehensive volume is
a signal effort in building bridges between economics and
organization theory. With a stellar cast of contributors, it will
both inspire and provoke scholars with its grand amibitions, and
generate considerable attention and debate. A remarkable effort by
Anna Grandori.' - Walter W. Powell, Stanford University, US 'Anna
Grandori has astutely organized the commissioned chapters of an
intellectually diverse set of scholars into an absolutely
outstanding contribution that both defines the current state of
organizational economics and points the perceptive reader toward an
exciting intellectual future. From traditional research areas to
the newest topics of interest, the chapters chart the current
boundaries of the field. The chapters are filled with gems of
insight across several distinct levels of analysis, whether it is a
discussion of organizational design, or psychological economics or
innovation or the organization as language, the discussions are
contemporary, comprehensive and challenging. No serious scholar of
organizational economics should be without this book.' - Richard N.
Osborn, Wayne State University, US This comprehensive and
groundbreaking Handbook integrates economic and organization
theories to help elucidate the design and evolution of economic
organization. Economic organization is regarded both as a subject
of inquiry and as an emerging disciplinary field in its own right,
integrating insights from economics, organization theory, strategy
and management, economic sociology and cognitive psychology. The
contributors, who share this integrated approach, are distinguished
scholars at the productive peak in their fields. Each original,
state-of-the art chapter not only addresses foundational issues,
but also identifies key issues for future research. This original
and wide-ranging Handbook will be a useful and thought-provoking
read for academics, students and researchers in the fields of
organization, management and economics. Contributors: N. Argyres,
