‘The editors have put together an excellent selection of the most important and thought-provoking papers on the economic nature of firms, including the classics from all major strands of writing on the topic. A student seeking a thorough understanding of the subject and its history could not find a better place to begin.’
– Louis Putterman, Brown University, US
Alternative Theories of the Firm provides a range of fundamental readings embracing the economics of firm behaviour from a non-neoclassical perspective. The collection covers several basic topics including: the importance of transaction costs and agency theory for the analysis of firm behaviour; capabilities and resource-based theories of the firm; the economics of firm strategy; behavioural theories; Austrian theories; evolutionary theories; and the historical development of firms. The readings include selections from traditional masters as well as writings by more recent authors. This collection will be of great value both to scholars who want a summary of developments in the field and to students of industrial economics and corporate strategy.
