New approaches to the study of enterprises: the role of motivation
Trento - Italy
August 29 – September 9, 2010
A pluralism of entrepreneurial forms have traditionally characterised economic systems. New organizational typologies are also emerging, such as cooperative and social enterprises, which are owned by stakeholders rather than investors and have social aims.
Traditional economic approaches are quite limited in their ability to deepen the understanding of the nature and plurality of firms. More attention, rather, must be devoted to the values and motivations that govern enterprises, explain the definition of organizational and members’ aims, and influence the planning of the organizational structures by managers. Traditional tools of investigation must be integrated with the psychological dimension of economic decision-making and with the behavioural perspective, paying specific attention to extra-monetary motivations.
The Summer School will use both economic theory of the firm and behavioural economics in order to understand the relevance of cooperative drives within firms. Empirical and experimental contributions will give support to theoretical assumptions. Intensive debate among scholars from different fields (psychology, sociology, behavioural and institutional economics) is therefore encouraged.
