Проблема происхождения фирмы в неоинституциональной теории

Abstract

The article focuses on the necessity of analysis of the firm as the main economic unit of industrial society. It is shown that neo-classical approach does not facilitate such analysis. The essence of alternative neo-institutional approach is examined on the basis of O. Williamson’s works. Theoretical shortcomings of this stand are discovered. Some measures for improving the methodology of neo-institutional theory of the firm are proposed.
