This unique Handbook explores both the economics of the firm and
the theory of the firm, two areas which are traditionally treated
separately in the literature. On the one hand, the former refers to
the structure, organization and boundaries of the firm, while the
latter is devoted to the analysis of behaviors and strategies in
particular market contexts. The novel concept underpinning this
authoritative volume is that these two areas closely interact, and
that a framework must be articulated in order to illustrate how
linkages can be created. This interpretative framework is
comprehensively developed in the editors' introduction, and the
expert contributors - more than fifty academics of renowned
authority - further elaborate on the linkages in the seven
comprehensive sections that follow, encompassing: background;
equilibrium and new institutional theories; the multinational firm;
dynamic approaches to the firm; modern issues; firms' strategies;
and economic policy and the firm. Bridging economics and theory of
the firm, and providing both technical and institutional
perspectives on real corporations, this path-breaking Handbook will
prove an invaluable resource for academics, researchers and
students in the fields of economics, heterodox economics, business
and management, and industrial organization. Contributors: Z.J.
