ENTREPRENEURSHIP AND THE FIRM. AUSTRAIN PERSPECTIVES ON ECONOMIC ORGAN FOSS N., KLEIN P. Księgarnia

Whilst characteristically 'Austrian' themes such as entrepreneurship, economic calculation, tacit knowledge and the temporal structure of capital are clearly relevant to the business firm, Austrian economists have said relatively little about management, organization, and strategy. This innovative book features 12 chapters that all seek to advance the understanding of these issues by drawing on Austrian ideas.

Building on existing research in transaction cost economics, agency theory, evolutionary economics and the resource-based theory of the firm, the authors cover a wide range of theoretical and applied topics. These include knowledge management, authority and hierarchy, modularity, corporate restructuring, telecommunications regulation and competitive advantage. They clearly show how Austrian ideas can usefully engage, challenge and extend more mainstream perspectives on economic organization.

There are many books on Austrian economics and many more on the theory of the firm, but virtually none that integrate these two bodies of literature. Scholars of Austrian economics and academics interested in strategy, organization and the theory of the firm will draw great value from this insightful book.

Nicolai J. Foss is a Professor in the Department of Industrial Economics and Strategy at the Copenhagen Business School, Denmark and Peter G. Klein is Assistant Professor in the Department of Economics at the University of Georgia, Athens, USA.
