Resumo
This work looked for a unifying theory between physical-biological domain
and social sciences. Constructal law unified physical and biological domain by
telling the general sense in which flow systems tend to evolve. Management
theory looks for relations between institutions and human agency. Although
being state of mind entities, institutions follow constructal law. This work
proposed the main organization flows are information and credit. Biologic instincts
derived from Darwinian natural selection are the driving or blocking
forces of such flows. Once biologic instincts systematically block information
and credit flows in large numbers, this work proposed every human organization
must have institutions to inhibit some behaviors. Those institutions need
to be present, at least partially, in formal rules of social groups. This way it is
possible to predict expansion or downfall of human groups using objective
and quantifiable data. Therefore, further studies may employ classical history
to confirm this theory. This work analyzed some case studies to show qualitatively
the application of proposed theory. Concluding, this work gave physically-
biologically grounded guidance for institutional changes.
