Relationship Economics
Relationship Economics: &apos It&apos s not what you know but who you know that matters in business.&apos In this rigorous book Lindon Robison and Bryan Ritchie argue that what needs to be understood is not just whether relationships matter (which, of course, they do), but also when, how much, and in what circumstances they should matter.This is a &apos must have&apos book for those with a professional or business need to understand:* How personal relationships can enhance economic efficiency while at other times distorting market outcomes through corruption or other means * The way relationships are influenced by and influence processes of globalization * The role of institutions in creating and distributing social capital * How to identify, measure, and apply social capital in business and other exchanges.It will also be of immense value to anyone teaching, researching or studying economics, business, leadership and management, sociology, or political science.
