In an ideal world, the market would be the optimal provider of coordination, but in the real world of incomplete information, some activities are better coordinated in other ways. Divided into three parts, this book addresses coordination within firms, at the borders of firms, and outside firms, providing a picture of the overall incidence and logic of economic coordination. The case studies-drawn from the late nineteenth and early twentieth century, when the modern business enterprise was evolving, address such issues as the relationship between coordination mechanisms and production techniques, the logic of coordination in industrial districts, and the consequences of regulation for coordination. Continuing the work on information and organization presented in the influential Inside the Business Enterprise, this book provides material for business historians and economists who want to study the development of the dissemination of information and the coordination of economic activity within and between firms. 410 0$aConference report (National Bureau of Economic Research) 606 $aBusiness intelligence$vCongresses 606 $aComparative organization$vCongresses 606 $aIndustrial organization (Economic theory)$vCongresses 606 $aIndustrial organization$xHistory$vCongresses 606 $aIndustrial organization$zUnited States$xHistory$vCongresses 615 0$aBusiness intelligence 615 0$aComparative organization 615 0$aIndustrial organization (Economic theory) 615 0$aIndustrial organization$xHistory 615 0$aIndustrial organization$xHistory 676 $a338.7 676 $a658.4038 701 $aLamoreaux$b Naomi R$0145579 701 $aRaff$b Daniel M.

He was a great diplomat: crafty, manipulative, and single-minded in his determination to overthrow Napoleon and his revolutionary ideals and to re-establish the European monarchical system.Here, British Colonel G. B. Malleson describes how the charming, aristocratic Metternich devoted countless hours to winning Napoleon's trust and to buying time for his country, until a re-armed Austria, at the head of the Sixth Coalition, was able to defeat the still-formidable Corsican. From 1815 until his downfall amid the revolutions of 1848, notes Malleson, Metternich devoted "all his power, all his influence, all his untiring energy, to the forging of new fetters for the human race."This compact but succinct title makes an important addition to your history collection. 606 $aDiplomacy$xHistory$7Generated by AI 615 0$aDiplomacy$xHistory 700 $aMalleson$b G.
