Knowledge, Scale and Transactions in the Theory of the Firm

Abstract: Firms in market economies vary enormously in size, nature and competitiveness. In this important contribution to the literature on the theory of the firm, Mario Morroni provides a fresh analytical framework which improves our understanding of the causes of this diversity in organisational design and performance. The relations between internal and external basic conditions, decision-making mechanisms and organisational co-ordination are addressed, as are the circumstances in which capabilities, transactions and… Show more

“…A existência de poucas referências na literatura especializada acerca da abordagem de Schumpeter ao tema da estratégia deve ser ainda mais enfatizada (e lamentada) no caso das contribuições dos economistas -algumas importantes exceções são encontradas entre autores que relacionam a competitividade internacional, as inovações e as estratégias (Teece et al, 1997;Rothwell, 1996;Freeman e Soete, 1997;Nelson, 2006;Morroni, 2006;Tidd et al, 2008;Melo et al, 2017).…”

“…For example, Slater's (1980a) Foreword to the Second Edition of TGF offers valuable insights, but is largely oriented towards the implications for theoretical economists (cf. Slater 1980b), while Moroni (2006) integrates specific Penrosean arguments into a re-examination of the neo-classical theory of the firm. For the purposes of this paper, six components of TGF have been re-constructed in order to clarify the book's main conceptual developments, and to show how they build towards the themes of the final chapters ( Figure 1).…”
