This is a write up (not review) of Architectures of Knowledge: Firms, Capabilities, and Communities by Amin and Cohendet (2004).

Ok – so back at the desk and trying to find my blogging rhythm post PHD submission. I need to get into some kind of discipline with this I think. So – to do that I can tell you that coming up are posts on the network of networks as we have got some RSA …
