Review of Non-Market Entrepreneurship: Interdisciplinary Approaches, by Gordon E. Shockley, Peter M. Frank, and Roger Stough, eds.

Volume 13, No. 4 (Winter 2010)

 

Much of what is contained within this book has more to do with developing a typology of various non-market institutions than explicitly developing theories of their more complex workings. In this sense, this volume serves as a useful bibliographic source for information on this emerging field of research, and the multi-disciplinary scope of the essays ensures that anyone with even a passing interest in these matters will find something of note among the twelve chapters.

Entrepreneurship, Compensation, and the Corporation

Volume 14, Number 1; 3-24: Spring 2011. This paper revisits the concept of entrepreneurship, which is frequently neglected in mainstream economics, and discusses the importance of defining and isolating this concept in the context of large, publicly held companies. Compensating for entrepreneurial services in such companies, ex ante or ex post, is problematic—almost by definition—despite the availability of devices such as stock and stock options.
