Abstract: This paper aims to suggest elements for a dynamic theory of the firm as a more realistic name, as opposed to the proposal by neoclassical theory. It counts itself as the genesis of temporality recognition of economic activity and a redefinition of the firm. The preliminary concepts about time, uncertainty and bounded rationality of economic agents are crucial. Otherwise, the concept of firm in different approaches, emphasizes the main point of reference work in evolutionary ideas as a more appropriate view of the firm in order to grasp its nature is essentially dynamic. Thus, the ability to innovate is considered here as the key driver of this dynamic, in a theoretical framework to abandon the benchmark equilibrium. To have such innovative capacity, the firm is conceived primarily as a repository of knowledge, as a set of resources, tangible and intangible assets that define a range of capabilities and present, mechanisms by which it acquires new powers and abilities.
