The Insufficiency of Microeconomics and the Need for Evolutionary Psychology in the Study of Management Introduction to the Special Issue

Evolutionary psychology, with its premise of fundamental and inherent sex differences, is necessary to replace microeconomics as the predominant theoretical perspective in business and management schools. The recent Safeway fiasco illustrates the danger of continuing to use microeconomics in the study of management in the 21st century. Copyright # 2006 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
