TY - BOOK AU - Plunket, Anne AU - Bellon, Bertrand TI - The Dynamics of Industrial Collaboration / SN - 9781840645828 U1 - 338.87 PY - 2001/// PB - Edward Elgar Publishing, KW - Business networks N2 - Researchers and professionals of management explore the edges of knowledge regarding industrial collaboration as a social activity, and thus a complex phenomenon. Their studies demonstrate that none of the current approaches are dominant, and indicate that scholars should integrate some of the theories. An acceptance emerges that the resolution will lie somewhere between a transaction cost, an agency issue, and an evolutionary and resource-based view, and will integrate both incentives and cognitive issues. Material was collected for over two years and presented at a May 1999 conference in Paris. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR ER -
