                  	Whittington's Classical and Evolutionary Schools of Thought
Sam Hwambo. BA Hons. Bus Stud (Open), Accountant, Zimbabwe

The evolutionary perspective is less confident about management's ability to plan and act rationally. Rather than relying on mangers, it expects markets to secure profit maximization.
