Keywords:

In this paper we are dealing with the aspect of double-way relationships between entrepreneurs/managers and the rest of the human resource of the firm/organisation. Nowadays, this theory of the firm is effectively in progress, or advancing, because new aspects, new features, new ideas occurred, highlighting and supporting our belief that both parties, i.e. Entrepreneurs/CEOs and, on the other hand, the staff/the employees are in transformation and are the beneficiaries of these new practices and ideas in the field. As examples, the use of theories Z, Y and a combination of them, theory of interference, enounced in this paper. But, above all, important is the comprehension of the firm/entity as a live mechanism, humanized one, capable to answer to the challenges within the business environment, the goal pursueted is that of gain, of profit for each and every part. Stable internal environment, performance in business environment.References
