TEORÍA ECONÓMICA EVOLUTIVA DE LA EMPRESA: ¿UNA ALTERNATIVA A LA TEORÍA NEOCLÁSICA?

This study reflects critically on the conceptual contributions made by the evolutionary theory of the firm. Its contributions are compared with the limited scope of neoclassical theory to explain the internal factors of company development, as they involve a technical production function. At the same time, the article is especially concerned to clarify the main points that define the company's evolutionary purpose, discussing the conceptual and explicative progress of its postulates and its intrinsic limitations. It concludes with a conceptual balance of the main merits of the evolutionary theory of the firm and the weak points exhibited in this theoretical current. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
