Disciplines

Various academic disciplines have relevance to the study of enterprise.  In this section, I list a number of them.  I'm sure there are others to be considered, and I will do so if anyone brings them to my attention.  The best we can hope from this section is representativeness, not completeness, but over time I aspire to be completely representative!

** Right now this whole section is under construction.  Do not waste your time following the links below.  In time I will come back to fill in this section, and remove this note **

Ecology

Business has been at pains to be more environmentally aware.  But the real movement is toward businesses that are addressing environmental issues as their own actual remit.  The study of ecology is important for any real efforts towards sustainability of enterprise, and the contribution of enterprises to overall human and marketplace sustainability.

Economics

Economics is an overarching discipline that studies the economic sphere that forms the basic environment within enterprises operate.  Economics also operates in the physical world, represented by ecology and related disciplines.  But, enterprises are largely economic systems, so that the disciplines and thinkers of economics are especially relevant.
