Research output: Contribution to conference (unpublished) › Paper

Abstract

The concept of inter-firm adaptations was enshrined at a very early stage in IMP lore. However, there remain certain problems of conceptualisation, notably whether there is a substantial degree of (or total) overlap between adaptations and the concept of transaction-specific investments. The inspiration for the concept of adaptations is the evolutionary metaphor. In an attempt to enrich the concept of adaptations we explore evolution in biological and economic systems. Interesting new directions for research emerge.
