Cover How Standards Rule the World
How Standards Rule the World
The Construction of a Global Control Regime
Ingrid Gustafsson
This book explains how international standards have come to specify almost all aspects of society, While resting on buzzwords such as ‘trust’ and ‘confidence’, the global control regime leaves us with a faceless bureaucratic system with no name and no one in charge. Using empirical and in depth analysis , the author discusses the consequences for responsibility: if no one is in charge, then no one is to be held accountable for how standards rule the world.

Cover The Economics of Adaptation and Long-term Relationships
The Economics of Adaptation and Long-term Relationships
Dean V. Williamson
Do institutions matter in economic theory? Or is the economic analysis of institutions a distraction from the most important action? Indeed, does Vernon Smith’s notion of the “institution-free core” of formal economic theory encompass that most important action? To explore this question, this book opens with an informal tour of the economics of system design out of which an economics of adaptation ultimately emerged. The book then offers explorations, via the application of the economics of adaptation in both law and economics relating to how parties manage relationships within the firm, within the context of long-term contracts, and, most vividly, within the context of antitrust conspiracy.

Cover Merger and Acquisition Strategies
Merger and Acquisition Strategies
How to Create Value
Angelo Dringoli
The decision to carry out a merger or acquisition is certainly a risky one, not least because of the number of variables influencing the final outcome. It is also a decision frequently based on the wrong objectives and an incorrect evaluation process. With this in mind, this important new book offers solutions for reducing the high percentage of mergers and acquisitions (M & As) that fail. It adopts a normative approach, using theoretical analysis to show what managers could and should do to increase shareholders’ value through successful M & A strategies. It also explores the conditions that are suitable for favouring a certain type of M & A (horizontal, vertical or diversified) over the others. In conclusion, the book presents case studies of successful M & A strategies providing a link between theory and practice.
