Synopsis
Explains the origin of the firm by focusing on entrepreneurshipDiscusses why entrepreneurs monitor workers rather than workers monitoring entrepreneursCombines the contractual approach with the entrepreneurial approach to establish an entrepreneurial/contractual theory of the firm, The book addresses the entrepreneurial origin of the capitalist firm and its asymmetric contractual relationships between capitalists, workers, managers and entrepreneurs, and explains the origin of the firm by focusing on entrepreneurship. A hidden action model shows how assigning residual claim to entrepreneurs can provide a better overall incentive; a hidden information model demonstrates that capitalists are given priority and have authority to select the management, because capital can signal entrepreneurial ability; and a general equilibrium entrepreneurial model shows that the equilibrium relationships between different members of the firm depend on the joint distribution of ability, wealth and risk attitudes in the population. Overall, the book reveals that the capitalist firm is more efficient, not only because it provides better incentives but also because it ensures that the most entrepreneurial people control the firm.

- k***e (385)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseWhether ordered new or used, I can always count on receiving my orders from this EXCELLENT SELLER in the best possible condition: new in pristine condition & VG used better than listed.

I have recently transitioned over to shipping 95% of my items in a box and I use air pillows and bubble wrap for all my CD's. I have seen to many complaints over CD's shipped in thin packing to save money and more often than not they come damaged. I on purpose downgrade my CD's that way if its better people are very happy if I upgrade not so much. Your feedback is the reason why I am in this business, it's all about customer service to me.
