Overview

This influential business book provides a detailed and comprehensive text offering a link between economic theory and business applications. The book uses economic theory to discuss and to quantify popular concepts of modern business strategy.[3] The text is technical in its approach but accessible due to its numerous real-world examples. The examples are drawn from around the globe and cover various business practices from the eighteenth century to modern days. Part One centers on the boundaries of the firm; Part Two discusses competition; Part Three focuses on positioning and sustaining advantage; and Part Four covers the interface among the theory of the firm, organization design, and business strategy.
