Summary: Economists are growing increasingly dissatisfied with the concept of profit as the sole explanatory motivation of firms. In particular the growth of giant corporations and the division of the entrepreneur's role between shareholders and managers have led to the need for new theories based on alternative motivations in order to reflect more fully and explain more thoroughly the workings of modern industrial societies. The most important of the new theories developed in economics are outlined in detail and an extensive bibliography is given to guide further reading.
