Abstract
The theory of firms and organizations is at the heart of the economic dynamics analysis because of
increasing and evolving interactions within the concrete industrial organization, at intra and
inter
firm(s) levels. At first, we present (Sect. 2) the evolution of the theory of the firm and of
organizations renewed by the complexity approaches, then (Sect. 3) we study the conditions of change
within a single organization or a set of organizations before, finally (Sect. 4), putting into perspective
authors' contributions to this special issue.
Key words: complexity, interactions, intra- and inter organizational changes, theory of the firm.
