The institutions of the market: organizations, social systems, and governance

Examines markets from a 'new institutionalist' perspective. Features contributions from leading international scholars in a range of disciplines. Considersthe organizational capabilities of firms, the social structuration of competition, and the diversity of market governance mechanisms. This book approaches markets as a dynamic ensemble of institutions; and as a set of rules or norms,that contribute to the evolution of social systems of governance, and can be analysed as a structured social system. It tackles such questions as: Where domarkets come from and what drives their evolution?. How do organizations copewith the competitive dynamism of markets?. What is the role of governance mechanisms in the institutional coordination of markets? Using this 'new institutionalist' approach, an international group of leading scholars examine the institutional foundations of economic change. Drawn from an array of disciplines,including Business, Organization Studies, Economics, and Sociology, the contributors address the organizational capabilities of firms, the social structuration of competition, and the diversity of governance mechanisms in the market.
