Description
Book SynopsisThis essential collection of papers by David J. Teece explores ideas of both theoretical and practical significance in the field of strategic management, particularly the importance of dynamic capabilities for organizations in industries undergoing change.
In an era of global specialization, mainstream theories of the firm that obsess on contracts and production functions, knowledge accumulations, and knowledge dispersion are poor abstractions of reality. The author's understanding of contemporary realities is well reflected and clearly articulated in this critical volume. Topics addressed include the development and elaboration of the dynamic capabilities framework (with an emphasis on the orchestration of resources both inside and outside the firm to capture value), as well as the theoretical and conceptual understanding of the essence of the firm.
Students, professors and researchers working in economics, business and management, organization studies and innovation studies will find this book an invaluable resource.
Trade Review'Religion, Rights and Secular Society by Peter Cumper and Tom Lewis is a both timely and important publication. In a series of highly interesting and well-written essays - some of which are case studies covering many different European nations whereas others are more theoretical - the book looks at a key paradox in contemporary Europe: the relatively high levels of secularity in most European countries on the one hand, and the marked resurgence of religion in public debates on the other. While never pretending that there are ready answers to the problems of reconciling secular and religious values in Europe, the contributors make it quite clear that Europeans need to return to questions about religion that they had previously regarded as being settled. This is food for thought at a very high level!' --- Helle Porsdam, University of Copenhagen, Denmark
