Summary/Abstract: Management is a historical process, but not necessarily straightforward. The best illustration of this process is its cyclical development, particularly capitalist economies. A similar direction of development occurred during the period of a natural economy, however, it related to changes in the natural environment of management, not a systemic objective of capitalism, which is ‘profit maximization’. In this context, one cannot overlook the phenomenon of diversification in a spatial economy, i.e. economic centres – linked to the impact of a natural environment and nature on their origination and fall, including oblivion. An important role in the development, not only economic, plays the sense of stability in all areas: family, tribe or nation, etc. A position in which one can be promoted within a stable custom based hierarchy. A variety of revolutionary systemic transformations occur, which winners want to validate and stabilize in order to pass the acquired resources to their ‘legal’ successors. This study aims to simply flag up diversity and multifacetedness of this process as well as its scope and transition; its necessity realized (e.g. DNA) by an individual not only managing, but biological too; and driven by a very differentiated motivation, including an emotional one. For too long, economic studies have underestimated the psychological and sociological personality of decision-makers, focusing on their rationality, mainly in quantitative terms. Today such an approach is perceived as an obstacle to development.
