Knowledge and Structure

Guido Fioretti

Industrial Organization from University Library of Munich, Germany

Abstract: This article presents a formalization of knowledge based on a connectionist model of a firm's structure. Transaction costs are not ignored, but integrated with the knowledge-based approach. A numerical example on the canonical comparison of "Japanese" versus "American" organizational structures illustrates the power of the model.
