Advance praise: '... Stevens makes a persuasive case that social norms are an important determinant of how firms are organized, and how individuals working within them behave.' Paul E. Fischer, University of Pennsylvania Advance praise: 'Scarcity of attention to social norms became increasingly difficult to sustain after the recent decades' events, raising uncomfortable questions about the prevailing theories of business, economics, organizations, and finance. Beyond sociology and organization behavior, awareness of the importance of social norms in accounting and law has grown rapidly. Stevens' book will help meet the hunger for new ideas in theory of the firm.' Shyam Sunder, Yale University, Connecticut Advance praise: '...
