Abstract
The development of Italian studies about firms, “Economia Aziendale”, has been characterized by Zappa’s studies. From the initial division in in accounting, organization and management, it was clear that the discipline had to deal also with organizational issues of the firm. In the last decades, organizational approaches have grown rapidly. It is due also to the large diffusion of inter-firms alliances that have shift the focus on new organizational model such as the network model.Current studies on networks are characterized by a great dynamism but also by the difficulty of bringing new knowledge into the general framework of the discipline.The paper is aimed at investigating the two main organizational approaches about inter-firm networks, that of Market&Hierarchies and that of Interorganizational Relations.The first part consists of a review of basic principle of Italian “Economia Aziendale” focusing on the key concepts of firm’s border and firm’s autonomy. Then, the paper, on the basis of the two key concepts, verifies the compatibility between the two organizational approaches and the general framework of the discipline.
