  8. new theory of the value-creating firm ? NO engagement with uncertainty/profit - NONE of these !! ‘the firm’ is just an idea about a real problem

  9. if Coase’s questions are the problem • meeting Knightian uncertainty with managerial judgment • constructing entrepreneurial opportunity • managerial rhetoric for harnessing others' judgment • ‘theory of the managed firm’ (TMF) as unique language new funding technological change expands opportunity space ecological issues opportunity ethical constraints government regulation competitive activity decreases opportunity space

  10. management research & education • reading the political-economic situation • immersion, entrepreneurial judgment, coup d'oeil • knowledge creation - data, meaning, practice • language construction • rhetorical practices for harnessing others • TMF as indexical discourse of collaborative value-creation

  11. Botticelli Judgment of Paris (1485)
