Economic Approaches to Organizations, 2nd edition assumes no previous knowledge of economics but introduces the student of organization and management to the use of economics in this area. The text explains and compares, in a non-technical way, the behavioural theory of the firm, agency theory, transaction cost economics, and recent economic contributions to strategic management and evolutionary theory. It might easily be used as a companion volume to a text on organizations or strategic management. Instructor's Manual (0-13-080464-9).
