Handbook of Organizational Economics, Hardcover by Gibbons, Robert (EDT); Roberts, John (EDT), ISBN 0691132798, ISBN-13 9780691132792, Brand New, Free P&P in the UKThere's at least 30 years worth of research in organizational economics, yet the field is not fully recognized (few doctoral programs, no Journal of Economic Literature classification number). Gibbons (management, Massachusetts Institute of Technology) and Roberts (economics, strategic management, and international business, Stanford U.) have assembled this authoritative handbook to make information more generally accessible. Contributors include colleagues at both of their institutions as well as academics affiliated with Harvard, Columbia, Yale, Johns Hopkins, U. of California, New York U. School of Law, and elsewhere--in short, a stellar roster. Chapters on foundations and methods are followed by coverage of various aspects of how things work within firms (individuals and groups; structures and processes), between firms, and beyond firms (corruption; delegation, control, and public bureaucracy).
