Evolution, Organization and Economic Behavior

This new and original collection of papers focuses on the intersection of three strands of research: evolutionary economics, behavioral economics, and management studies. Combining theoretical and empirical contributions, the expert contributors demonstrate that the intersection of these fields provides a rich source of opportunities enabling researchers to find more satisfactory answers to questions that (not only evolutionary) economists have long been tackling. Topics discussed include individual agents and their interactions; the behavior and development of firm organizations; and evolving firms and their broader implications for the development of regions and entire economies.

This challenging book will prove a thought provoking read for academics, students and researchers with an interest evolutionary economics, behavioral economics and business and management, particularly strategy and entrepreneurship.
