Abstract
This paper argues that an institutionalist perspective on an economy can enrich the conventional sector or industry based analysis. It draws on the concepts of transaction cost economics, looking at the measurement branch as well as the governance branch. It argues that the natural selection analogy underpinning this approach has been underresearched. The introduction of disequilibrium selection processes and multimarket environments means that the resulting institutional arrangements may possess important defects that may be linked to economywide structural disequilibrium. The organizational perspective opens up the issue of control of production, which is expressed in concerns over screw-driver firms. Copyright 1990 by Oxford University Press.
