Recensioner i media

'The theory of the firm is the subject of a particularly large body of literature in economics. To select a balanced volume, therefore, is very challenging. The publisher of this book managed to find an able editor for this volume in the person of Mark Casson, who brings to bear a deep understanding of the literature. In addition to selecting a set of readings that gives the reader a complete overview of the development and current state into thematic sections that provide an excellent perspective, even for the established researcher in this field. . . . Scholars in both economics and management will find this collection a valuable resource.'
