Mehdi,
I share Steve's opinion. I found Mahoney's EFoS thorough and a great reference on the economic founding of strategy.
Best Wishes,

Quite simply the best work on the subject, in terms of both comprehensiveness and depth, is Mahoney's Economic Foundations of Strategy, published by Sage.
Hope this helps,
