This book focuses on three main areas, each of which is central to
economic theorising: firms' organisation and behaviour,
technological change and the process of globalisation. Each subject
can be analysed by using different methods, which range from purely
theoretical abstractions to case studies and from econometrics to
simulations. What this collection provides is a broad view of the
three topics by concentrating on different aspects of each of them,
and utilising different methods of investigation.
Internationalization, Technological Change and the Theory of the
Firm looks in detail at various questions surrounding firms'
organisation, including why we can observe ordered paths of
production, whether proximity between firms matters, and whether
patenting is always worthwhile. In addition, several essays explore
technology and innovation, including the
persistence-cum-development of old technologies. Furthermore, this
book focuses on those processes which concern small- and
medium-sized firms, considering the usefulness of stage theory, the
possibilities of production off-shoring and the skill composition
of manufacturing firms. Overall, the book is characterised by
original ideas, renewed applications of mathematical and
statistical methods and the use of new databases. This valuable
collection will be of interest to postgraduates and researchers
focusing on innovation, theories of the firm and globalisation; and
should also be useful to a professional readership as it presents
up-to-date research with the aim of improving our understanding of
the phenomena of technological change, firms' strategies, and
globalisation.
