This stimulating research review analyses how the theory of the
firm evolved from several core concepts and building blocks that
underpin this important area of economics. It discusses a variety
of perspectives from leading scholars in the field, including the
basic elements of: risk and uncertainty; information and knowledge;
bounded rationality and decision making; motives and incentives;
resources and capabilities; and transactions. The review goes on to
examine how the various elements are integrated into the modern
Theory of the Firm with the notion of organization coming
increasingly to the fore. It focuses on norms; rules and routines;
the entrepreneur; governance; hierarchies; co-operation, teams and
networks; innovation and appropriability. This comprehensive review
will be an invaluable reference tool for all researchers and
students with an interest in the modern theory of the firm,
highlighting how it needs to evolve further to address the
important management and policy issues of our time.
What is the nature of the firm? Why do firms adopt certain
strategies in preference to others? What are the competitive
implications of large firm mergers and alliances for government
policy? These are extremely important and highly topical questions
which tend to be treated separately in most contemporary analysis.
However, in this new book based on his original research, Neil Kay
shows how these questions are closely inter-related and explores
the implications this has for the formulation of corporate strategy
and public policy.
