Daniel A Levinthal

Evolutionary Processes and Organizational Adaptation

A Mendelian Perspective on Strategic Management

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

How do firms adapt? Is it through rational choice and intentionality, or rather a process of evolutionary dynamics? Using the ideas of Gregor Mendel as a touchstone, this book aims to construct a middle-ground between these two conceptions and provide a new framework for understanding the adaptive dynamics of organizations.
