The Economy and economics
ENIn this article the author summarizes his thoughts, laid out in a set of articles, published in Lithuania in 1990-1991. These ideas are from the period when many people, related with economics and management, with consulting activity in organizations and pedagogical activity in universities, realized that it was necessity to take a new look at natural points again and anew, and try to re-estimate what seemed so obvious. The author does not consider and has never considered himself as an expert of economic theories; his field of interests mostly limits itself in organizational management and development. Nevertheless, in order to feel free in the field of management, it's important to have some macro economical basis. Therefore, looking for answers to conceptual questions of organizational management, first of all it was attempted to understand more fundamental things - conceptions of economy and economics, and relations between them. The next step was to formulate maybe not traditional conception of business unit (the organization).The author, forming his thoughts and expressing his understanding as possible, follows the main principles of systemic thought activity methodology. This is a systemic logic, processional activity's point of view, a relationship between the whole and the part, the spherical concept, the separation of external and internal functions of the subject, the principle of historicity. The article's purpose is not a presentation of unquestionable things, simply the author presents here his point of view, which helped and helps him in the consulting and pedagogic practice. This practice is related to organizational management, systemic organization of activity, development of organization managers and organizations themselves.
