Industry Structure, Strategy, and Public Policy is the result of two decades of the author's successful teaching and classroom experience using a case approach to organization. Designed to serve either as a core text or supplemental case book, Industry Structure, Strategy, and Public Policy works to help students learn relevant economic theory through the use of rich, real-world industries. Nine industry case studies integrate theories in industrial organization with historical and statistical information as well as important national and international public policy of problems. Scherer clearly demonstrates to the readers the relevancy of issues in industrial organization to the economic and business world within which they work.

This book shows how the seventy largest corporations in America have dealt with a single economic problem: the effective administration of an expanding business. The author summarizes the history of the expansion of the nation's largest industries during the past hundred years and then examines in depth the modern decentralized corporate structure as it was developed independently by four companies—du Pont, General Motors, Standard Oil (New Jersey), and Sears, Roebuck. This 1990 reprint includes a new introduction by the author.

In a turbulent global economy, the popular idea of declining farms and factories is largely unfounded. UN and World Bank data show growing output everywhere, but it remains hidden by the faster-growing service sector. Engineers, programmers, surgeons, and pilots make up an increasing share of what is actually the service sector, showing that this sector is not in decline. There is no doubt that industries are shifting, but how does it all add up? Quantifying these technology-driven shifts is fundamental, yet such publication has lagged for years, with stale ideas about what makes a healthy economy persisting since the 1940s. In this new work, Atikian gives us a freshly updated overview countering our tired assumptions about off-shoring, low wages, and industrial decline and providing us with...some fact based confidence in the economy.
