Industrial Economics & Organisation

Industrial Economics and Organisation: A European Perspective presents an authoritative account of both traditional and current theories in industrial economics. This new edition aims to capitalise on the key strengths of the first edition while bringing this edition up to date. It has done so by integrating new material on recent theoretical developments, such as stakeholder theory and technological change and innovation, as well as recent political and economic changes, for example in relation to Eastern Europe. Its European focus successfully draws on a number of European examples to clearly illustrate key theoretical concepts to the reader. Multinational Enterprises and Globalisation: As a result of the growing importance of globalisation, a single chapter has been devoted to its coverage, as well as integrated coverage throughout the text. |Case Studies: An array of cases studies have been introduced in the new edition of this text in order to ensure that key theoretical points are clearly illustrated, allowing the student to clearly visualise key concepts in practice. The cases studies introduced in the new edition all retain a European flavour throughout. |Flexible Structure: The new edition of this text adopts a more student-friendly structure, whereby chapters from the first edition have been split and revised, presenting each topic in a clear and accessible manner. In doing so, the structure has become more flexible for both students reading the text, as well as lecturers teaching from it. |Pedagogy: The pedagogy offered throughout this new edition presents the students with a more accessible package. Learning outcomes open each chapter clearly highlighting the key issues to be addressed in each chapter. These are complemented by chapter end summaries that provide a useful recap of each chapter. End of chapter questions have been introduced to challenge the readerĹź understanding of the chapter, as well as the integration of websites that allow the reader to undertake further research should they wish to do so.
