Description

The Corporate Triangle draws together the work of three leading economists to give a new and important view of the international differences in corporate systems. For students and specialists this short text succinctly addresses the failure of economic theory to construct an acceptable concept of the nature of the firm, and examines how this can be corrected.The authors criticise the concept that the enterprise is only an investment project and demonstrate that this neglects the contribution of labour to the capacity of the firm to add value, and be a source of long-term income.The book also takes a historical approach to show that the differences between corporate systems can be seen as stages in organisational development. This is critical in gaining an understanding of both the processes that have made modern enterprises what they are today, and the internal systems that they will need for their future success.For all those who study economics and international business the contributions to this book will give a new perspective on the role of the firm in the international economic system and the various forms of market economy to which they contribute.
