                            February 24-25, 2006

Since Coase’s seminal article on the theory of the firm in 1937, both legal and economic scholars have critically examined various aspects of modern organization: including an organization’s economic and legal boundary, its hierarchical structure, incentive and promotion within an organization, and control within and across organizations. This conference aims to bring together scholars from the allied fields to examine the recent developments in the field and also to provide a more holistic view of the modern organization theory.
