520 | _aThe aim of this paper is to contribute to a better understanding of the firm through an explanation for its evolution, as part of the co-evolution of social and physical technologies. It is argued that since the emergence of the capitalist firm (factory) in the British Industrial Revolution this co-evolutionary process has brought about two major mutant-forms, namely the M-form which emerged from the beginning of the Second Industrial Revolution and the decentralized-disintegrated organization (project-based form) born in the ICT revolution. This paper analyzes the rise of the succeeding mutant-forms in the co-evolutionary process framework and also highlights the nature of the differences between them.JEL Codes: D20, O30, P12 | ||
