Abstract: The Darwinian idea of evolution by natural selection has an algorithmic character, and is therefore susceptible to application in various fields, such as social and economic life, as well as the science of organizations. Although still controversial, the introduction of the evolutionary principles into the study of management principles must be seen as an alternative analytical framework to the neoclassical principles of economic analysis that gained primary importance in the twentieth century. We will try to show how, using the principles of evolutionary theory, one can formulate some general principles of management, of organisational policy-making, and also some practical rules of managing organisations. Also, we will briefly present the results of a qualitative research destined to find out whether Romanian managers have any knowledge about the rules of evolutionary management or, if informed about these rules, they find them appropriate and manifest their willingness to test them in practice.
