The objective of this paper is to present and analyze preliminary some selected methodological consequences of the disputes held between modernists and post-modernists for the contemporary theory of the firm.

However, at the same time our knowledge on the causes and mechanisms of differentiating enterprises in current market economies is increasing. The achievements of philosophy and methodology of science allow us to formulate a hypothesis that this is going to be a lasting situation.
