1 HEC PhD. Program Research Seminar - Syllabus Economic Theories of the firm and organizations (ETFO) *** Professor: Bertrand Quélin, HEC Paris School of Management (Assistant - Mrs. Lalo: quelin@hec.fr) Schedule: 10 weekly seminars - 2 hours (cf. calendar) Web site: Positioning of the seminar: In large measure, the economics of organization arose in response to perceived limitations in the neoclassical theory of the firm. This research seminar covers some economic theories of the firm and organizations related to management. It is entirely devoted to the assessment of nine economic theories that are interested in the firm like an organizational form. The firm is not a stand-alone entity but is to be examined in relation to the market and other modes of organizing economic activities. This seminar is thus intended to bring to the students basic knowledge in economics of organization, whatever their background and their major in the HEC PhD Program. It is also devoted to the recent developments of these economic theories and to the research tasks in strategic management and more generally in management. This seminar covers dimensions which one finds in the modern economic analysis of the firm like the coordination between agents, the delegation and the authority, vertical integration and the hybrid forms of organization, the contracts and competences. The theories are approached through the theoretical background, authors, concepts and tools. The seminar is about the internal coherence of each stream or theories. The examination of the theory of property rights, analysis of the growth of the firm, and the study of the institutional environment are also undertaken in order to offer consequent control of tools and analyses. This is done for understanding well the different cornerstones of a particular economic theory of the firm. This seminar is also interested in the way in which the contributions of the studied economic theories are integrated into the most recent research in management. The new theories of the economics of organization that have taken shape over the past 40 years have vastly expanded the research agenda in both economic theory and organization theory as well as in strategic management, marketing, finance, human resources, decision science, and management control. This seminar is thus opened to all the disciplines of management. Pedagogy: Teaching is organized around the critical presentation of selected theories and the thought of the authors. The preliminary reading by students of articles representative of the main topics is mandate. In average, two articles have to be read and study in advance for each session. A complementary bibliography is provided to deepen (not mandatory). Each session is organized around an internal analysis of the coherence of the theory, assumptions, hypotheses and contribution of each theory to both economics and management. Teaching is thus based on discussions and critical of works, and analysis of articles and research tasks. In complement, the seminar is devoted to the development of the economic analyzes of the firm and organizations and, with the assessment of their contribution to research in management.

2 Organization of the seminar: Each session will follow the following format, except for the first: Student presentation: two presentations for each session, limited to 10 minutes each one, will introduce and analyze one of the two texts selected for the meeting; each talk and discussion of one article will be ensured by one student; these two presentations, in didactic matter, will be followed of a discussion and questions and answers; this general discussion of the two articles will be limited to 10 minutes. Analysis: each seminar will be then devoted to a deep analysis to understand internal coherence and the contributions of the studied theory; this analysis developed by the professor will be limited to 1 hour. New trends and further developments: the last half an hour will be devoted to the recent developments of the theory, the bonds with problems and questions of research anchored in management, with a specific focus on strategy and business policy; it will rest on an interaction and exchanges on the problems being able to mobilize such or such part of the studied economic theory. Evaluation: The evaluation will be: Student presentation: 30% Oral participation: 20% Final written work: 50% The evaluation of the student s presentation will rest on the clearness of the oral presentation and the capacity to answer the questions. It requires the preliminary handing-over of a hard copy of the notes or transparencies (to be sent by the day before). The oral participation will take account of the relevance of lightings, analysis and standpoint representing a thorough reading of the two texts subjected for the preparation of the meeting. The final written note will consist of a work of drafting of an analysis relating to an economic topic chosen by the professor in accordance with each student. This written note will have to be structured in the following way: After the discussion and the comparison of topics and analyses supported by the authors (of a third to less than half of the written note), written work will have to necessarily stress the analysis of the prospects offered by the economic literature and the development for new tracks of research in management. For this purpose, a rigorous step is necessary resulting writing proposals for a research, and in proposing an adequate framework to examine them (half to two thirds of written work). The evaluation of the written work will concern the demonstration of a good comprehension of the mobilized articles and the quality of the developed prospects for research. This written work will have to be given to more at the end of January Bertrand Quélin HEC PhD. Program - Economic Theories of the Firm and Organizations 2
