Features: This series of books is a textbook and introductory guide with a certain academic level. From the early 18th century Adam Smith's theory of corporate division of labor to the 1920s Marshall's theory of internal growth of the firm, the theory of corporate core competencies is one of the latest theoretical achievements in the intersection of management and economics, increasingly attracting attention from both academic and practical circles in business management theory. This article discusses the historical origins and main arguments of the theory of corporate core competencies. The innovation this book aims to achieve is the establishment of an analytical framework for corporate efficiency, the analysis of the technological and institutional foundations of corporate efficiency formation and growth, using modern corporate theory as the basic tool, thereby constructing a theoretical and methodological foundation for scientific research and evaluation of corporate efficiency. The book includes: Resource-based Theory, Capability-based Theory, Knowledge-based Theory, The Nature and Boundaries of the Firm, Corporate Capability and Strategy, etc.
