Soviet Industrial Enterprise

<p>This book first published in 1984 is the first systematic attempt in English to produce an analytical as well as a descriptive outline of the operations management and role of the Soviet industrial enterprise. The microeconomics of central planning is a relatively neglected area of analysis with most effort being directed towards the theory of economic incentives. This book fills that gap by presenting an integrated view of the theory of the socialist firm. It concentrates on the day-to-day activities of the Soviet enterprise and uses a wealth of unused Soviet data to project its findings.</p>
