      A Contingency Theory of Leadership

      By: Jay W. Lorsch
      The idea of a contingency theory of leadership is not novel. In the 1960s several scholars conducted research and proposed such an approach arguing that the style of leadership that would be most effective depended upon the situation (Fiedler, Tannenbaum and Schmidt,... View Details

      Clusters of Entrepreneurship

      By: Edward L. Glaeser, William R. Kerr and Giacomo A.M. Ponzetto

      Does Product Market Competition Lead Firms To Decentralize?

      By: Nicholas Bloom, Raffaella Sadun and John Van Reenen
      There is a widespread sense that over the last two decades firms have been decentralizing decisions to employees further down the managerial hierarchy. Economists have developed a range of theories to account for delegation, but there is less empirical evidence,... View Details

      Catering Through Nominal Share Prices
