Economic Hierarchies, Organization and the Structure of Production
ISBN: 9780792391685 / Angielski / Twarda / 196 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Economics has been basically a study of the interactions between organizations, with some organizations being so small we only have one person in them. The internal organization of the largest hierarchies has indeed been looked at, but a good reason for working less on these organizations is that the internal reactions are much harder to understand. It is sensible to solve the problems we can solve and put the others off until later. The author's basic purpose here is to look at these larger hierarchical organizations, and develop a scientific account of them.
