	Blog on Wiki Patterns » Blog Archive » Britannica strikes back, Nature stands firm on Wikipedia
		Naturally, Nature has responded (I think I just made a pun :)) and the response firmly stands by their original work.
		The article also tries to make the argument that Nature came to the defense of wikipedia after bad press from the Seigenthaler controversy, as if that was a bad move by Nature.
		Britannica is obviously feeling the sting of Nature’s study; otherwise they wouldn’t have felt the need to strike back so hard.

	Nas, Foxy Brown, AZ, and Nature Present The Firm: The Album - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Nas, Foxy Brown, AZ, and Nature Present The Firm: The Album was the only LP released by hip hop supergroup The Firm.
		Active for a short period from 1996 to 1998, The Firm included four New York rappers -- Nas, Foxy Brown, AZ, and Nature -- but was actually the pet project of its producers: Nas Escobar (as he referred to himself at the time), Steve "Commissioner" Stoute, Dr.
		An early form of the Firm appeared on "Affirmative Action," a standout song from Nas' second album, It Was Written.

	Ronald Coase's Method
		Inside the firm, a "factor of production (or the owner thereof) does not have to make a series of contracts with the factors with whom he is co-operating...as would be necessary, of course, if this co-operation were as a direct result of the working of the price mechanism" (ibid.: 39).
		In his theory of the firm, Coase's use of the zero exchange cost model as a benchmark had to be inferred from his use of the employment choice as a benchmark.
		A firm, which consists of a contract with employees in which the latter agree to shift their work from one project or location or type to another without requiring a new contract, enables entrepreneurs to avoid the costs of using the price system (or to circumvent the full impact of these costs).

	Pascal Salin: The Firm In A Free Society
		In the case of the firm the manager and the other workers sign contracts with the abstract entity called the firm - which, in fact, is the collectivity of members - nd they are both under the same type of relations.
		In fact he is trapped into his firm: If the firm fails, he looses all his past investments in time and savings, whereas the wage-earners leave and take their human capital with them.
		But, the traditional approach of the nature of the firm is not correct because a firm is not a planning system, i.e.

	The Prize in Economics 1991 - Press Release
		The firm in fact consists of this array of contracts and is related to the rest of the world by other fully specified contracts regarding purchases of inputs, sales of products, and loans under prescribed terms.
		This thesis is a direct parallel to the conclusion in The Nature of the Firm that firms under the same conditions are superfluous.
		The underlying idea is that this is a natural and rational way for a court to reason if it is more intent on setting a precedent to generate expedient incentives for the future than solving a particular dispute.

	CHAPTER A1. THE ECONOMIC NATURE OF DECISION MAKING
		If the acquiring firm has never conducted business operations or for some reason ceases physical operations but continues to direct the operations of one or more subsidiary operating companies, it may be referred to as a holding company.
		Whatever the structure of a firm and its affiliated entities, any line or staff officer of the firm, or any plant, division, or subsidiary manager, must make economic choices in the use of the scarce resources that are assigned to his or her control.
		Although human nature is culturally influenced, we shall also presume that human beings are more-or-less materialistic, i.e., more is better than less, and hedonistic, i.e., that pain and displeasure are to be avoided or minimized.

	Equilibrium in Ronald Coase's Method
		A coordinating entrepreneur may recognize that he can avoid the costs, or at least some of them, by making a contract with employees and other factor owners in which the latter agree to shift their resources from one project or location or type to another, at the employer's request, without requiring a new contract.
		Recall that the Coase equilibrium is simply the Salter equilibrium with some firms that have arisen due to assumption that, in light of the costs of using the price mechanism, organization by means of firms is superior, under some circumstances, to organization by means of the price mechanism.
		Indeed, the firm is an institution itself for which writers of regulations and delimiters of rights ought to account if they wish to attain their goals.
