CONTEMPORARY THEORY OF CORPORATIONS: NEW POSSIBILITIES OF EVOLUTIONARY PARADIGM
A new theoretical approach to corporations research is put forward in the article. This approach is based on both evolutionary-institutional methodology and behavioural applied models. It originates from the assertion that evolutionary paradigm is adequate to the nature of corporations, as well as from the need to form the protection belt for the nuclear of corporations evolutionary theory by means of behavioural theory and its applications. Major works in the field are studied, including those that have not yet been translated into Russian. The authors come to the conclusion about high potential of the method in explaining corporations behaviour and evolution. They also stipulate the need to work out a new direction in corporate - organisation ethology.
