"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.
