Abstract

This paper deals with the new competitiveness standards that are being set incontemporary capitalism by more cooperative environment among economic agents. It isargued that economic efficiency can be traced to contemporary forms of cooperation atgrass root levels of the social organization of production, pushing the arena of competitionupwards. Even more efficient performances of flexible automation technologies seem to presupposeintra-firm and inter-firm cooperative environments, radically departing from previousconflictive relation standards of modern capitalism. So much so that one of the pillarsof orthodox economics, namely the theory of the firm, have been undergoing profoundmodifications to cope with these new facts of contemporary economic life. JEL Classification: D21; F23; P13.
