About this title

Synopsis

The 'Austrian' tradition is well-known for its definitive contributions to economics in the twentieth century. However, Austrian economics also offers an exciting research agenda outside the traditional boundaries of economics, especially in the management disciplines. This Element examines how Austrian ideas play a key role in expanding the understanding of fields like entrepreneurship, strategy, and organization. It focuses especially on the vital role that entrepreneurs play in guiding economic progress by shaping firms and their strategic behavior. In doing so, it explains a wide range of contributions that Austrian economics makes to the understanding of key problems in management, while also highlighting many directions for future work in this inspiring tradition.

Book Description

Examines the overlap between 'Austrian' economics and management, especially in the fields of entrepreneurship, strategy, and organization studies, where Austrian ideas are thriving. As an introductory survey, the book will appeal equally to researchers, teachers, and students.
