Talk:Industrial organization

industrial engineering = industrial management
According to http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/industrial+management?r=66 industrial engineering is a synonym of industrial management, so the redirect industrial management to industrial organization is apparently erroneous. --Espoo (talk) 23:05, 21 March 2011 (UTC)

Content
This article is a mess overall. The Structure, conduct, performance section reads like somebody copy-pasted an essay from the internet, and the rest is just a big link hub. I might try to take a crack at rewriting it myself, but it'd be great if there was someone else to take some of the slack. I'm going to at least clean it up a little in the meantime.

Dr. Gibbs's comment on this article
Dr. Gibbs has reviewed this Wikipedia page, and provided us with the following comments to improve its quality:

"Sentence "A second approach uses ..." emphasizes internal firm organization. However, it is probably the case that there is even greater emphasis on market structures (perhaps that is what is meant by "market strategy"?). Suggest elaborating what "market strategy" means ... determinants & effects of different industry structures: perfect competition, monopoly, etc.

Under "Areas of Study" bullet points, suggest adding: regulation; regulatory capture; political economy; law & economics; antitrust; collusion; price fixing.

Suggest noting relevant Nobel prizes; e.g., Tirole, Williamson, Coase, Stigler.

Other journals you might list: J. Law & Economics; RAND J. Economics; J. Economics & Management Strategy."

We hope Wikipedians on this talk page can take advantage of these comments and improve the quality of the article accordingly.

Dr. Gibbs has published scholarly research which seems to be relevant to this Wikipedia article:

Tone in lead
The following paragraphs from the lead are borderline tone for Wikipedia:

The subject has a theoretical side and a practical side. According to one textbook: "On one plane the field is abstract, a set of analytical concepts about competition and monopoly. On a second plane the topic is about real markets, teeming with the excitement and drama of struggles among real firms" (Shepherd, W.; 1985; 1).

Assessments of the subject have differed over time. The preface to a related research volume in 1972 remarked on Whither industrial organization?: "That all is not well with this in this once flourishing field is readily apparent." A response came 15 years later: "[T]oday's verdict is that industrial organization is alive and well and the queen of applied microeconomics."

I'm going to remove these passages, but I won't object if someone else wants to put them back. &mdash; MaxEnt 01:18, 4 November 2018 (UTC)
