Organizations and Markets

Organizations and Markets is written by Nicolai J. Foss and Peter G. Klein, professors with research interests spanning organizational economics, strategic management, entrepreneurship, innovation, the economics of institutions, and the history, philosophy, and sociology of science. Foss teaches management at the Copenhagen Business School and Klein teaches economics at the University of Missouri, giving the blog an international and interdisciplinary orientation.

The authors are influenced by mainstream approaches in economics and management, by the emerging disciplines of transaction cost economics and capabilities theory, and by the alternative traditions of Austrian and evolutionary economics. A quick way to learn about someone’s general background, perspective, and interests is through his group memberships. The authors’ favorite professional organizations and institutions, besides the American Economic Association and the Academy of Management, include ISNIE, the Strategic Management Society, CORI, the Center for Strategic Management and Globalization, the Mises Institute, CEPOS, and the Society for the Development of Austrian Economics.

While Organizations and Markets focuses on academic research in economics and management, the authors also comment occasionally on other shared interests, such as classical liberalism and cultural conservatism.
