Abstract: Abstract This chapter discusses the nature of the ‘firm’ in the ‘theory of the firm’, to indicate why it provides an unsuitable framework for a theory of the growth of firms. It explores the firm as an administrative organisation, the firm as a collection of productive resources, and the motivations of the firm. The ‘firm’ in the theory of price and production is also considered.
