Two disciplinary placements of business economics, and the interdisciplinarity
Keywords:
interdisciplinarity, multidisciplinarity, corporate economics, microeconomicsAbstract
The paper examines business economics from an interdisciplinary perspective. The conceptual issues of interdisciplinarity are disordered, so the definition is created by using roughly coinciding elements of some published conceptions. The analysis is based on this. However, there are two disciplinary placements of business economics which actually means two very different
variants of business economics. One of them is such variant by which it is a kind of subdivisions of the microeconomics. In this variant, the high microeconomics abstraction level, category system, and model system prevail, in addition, even the symbol system is identical to the microeconomic symbols. Based on these, this variant is not suitable for the mapping of the real economic relationship system of companies. By the second variant, the business economics is an independent discipline. The main function of this is the scientifically sound support of business operation and the training of professionals who are familiar with the real business. Literature does not deal with this duality problem although the quality of business economics very much has an effect on the level of scientific clarity of topics related to business management. The issues of interdisciplinarity of that variant which is developed as part of the microeconomics are forming in function of microeconomics. The relationship between that business economics which operates as an independent discipline with other disciplines is very wide. In addition to interdisciplinary relations, the range of multidisciplinary solutions also is quite wide.
