Entrepreneurship and the Firm

Edited by Nicolai J. Foss and Peter Klein

in Books from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: While 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.
