Description and Table of Contents
Description
These papers from the Second EDAMBA Summer School aim to reflect the vitality of the field of business studies. A number of the papers concern themselves with the development of a theoretical understanding of phenomena encountered in business. Strategic management is very practically-orientated, but it is also theory driven. It draws on its own base as well as theories related to cognition, learning and economics. These EDAMBA papers attest to both the need and the desire for reflection on the philosophical and conceptual issues in business studies. The majority of the authors are doctoral students from leading European business schools.
