Abstract

The firm, its tasks and the way in which it relates to the market appear in a different light with respect to the standard theory, within the perspective of a process of innovation interpreted as a creation of resources. The main problem with a similar process — a learning process which essentially consists of the structuring of new and totally original productive options — is to make it viable. This implies that markets and organizations should not be looked at as distinct institutions whose respective efficiency must be tested with respect to a problem of allocation of given resources, but rather considered as a system whose coherence depends on being able to render a process of creation of new specific resources viable.
