Description
Presented in this book is an examination of empirical research on capital investments in companies in Europe, and more specifically in highly industrialised Sweden. Various approaches have been used in the studies discussed, most of them grounded in behavioural and organisational theory. The book will be of interest to all those students and researchers who believe that the examination of a variety of empirical data can increase our understanding of important phenomena in the world - in the present case, capital investments.
