My question has not got any comments/attention - Is there more

money ?

Speaking only for myself, dublin, I would say this is a minimum $100
question requiring substantial research. If you break it down, you
have five separate "theory of the firm" questions, each requiring
detailed research/writing to provide "main assumptions", etc. So,
you're actually currently asking $5 per question.
An alternative would be to consider asking for the requested
information of one (1) theory as a new question at $25, and if you're
pleased with the answer, ask the four remaining at $25 each, too. Just
a thought. I realize that your budget might not allow this. But
thought I'd give my input on why I didn't try answering, after a
cursory research revealed I was looking at several hours of
research/writing. Best of luck in any case!
regards,
rico

Dear dublin,
I suspect that one of the reasons this question may not yet have been
answered is that it is already the subject or partial subject of many
academic papers and covers a very large body of economic work that
includes a Nobel Prize winner.
Google researchers love to exceed client expectations... However this
is difficult to achieve when a good answer to the question may be the
equivalent of several academic papers.
This Copenhagen Business School paper by Nicholai J. Foss, On the
Relations Between Evolutionary and Contractual Theories of the Firm
seems to be on topic.
http://www.cbs.dk/departments/ivs/wp/wp97-4.pdf
We Control the Vertical:Three Theories of the Firm by Mitchell Berlin
is a little less applicable, but may be useful.
http://www.phil.frb.org/files/br/brq301mb.pdf
Would links to say 10 such papers be a useful answer to your question?
Or would a detailed summary of the first paper be of more use?
Some bounded expectations may help researchers to provide your answer.
Regards,
|

Hi Ozguru,
What I would like to focus on and I know I mu budget is tight but If i
could the get 3 main points on each theory of the firm regarding main
assumption, main contribution and main disadvantages. Am I being
totally unreasonable for what I am asking for and what i am paying
for? If so - How far would you go fro $25. thanks in advance

If you're looking for good links you can read yourself, you should be
fine at $25, but clarify that is what you are asking for. Based on
the wording of your question and the response of fellow Researchers,
it seems that you are looking for us to do some reading and analysis
ourselves, which takes dramatically more time than the relatively
simple procedure of determining whether a given source is trustworthy
or not.
