Abstract: Abstract Evolutionary theories are a class of theories, models, or arguments that explain how firms evolve and why successful firms differ from each other. They explain the generations and renewal of variation by random elements and winnowing. Internal forces provide continuity to whatever survives the winnowing. Many of the economic evolutionary theories assume that individual learning, organizational adaptation, and environmental selection of organizations are going on at the same time (Nelson and Winter 1982; Nelson 1994, 1995).
