Abstract

This chapter considers economic development from the perspective of the organization of production. The basis for our argument is a synthesis of two previously distinct analyses of the theory of the firm, namely: the competence-based and strategic choice approaches. That synthesis makes creativity - that is, the use of ideas and imagination so as to make things happen - a central issue in understanding production. From that we hypothesize that the treatment of creativity is a significant determinant of the prospects for economic development at local, regional, national and indeed global levels.
