The present article is an effort to address the thinking of the main exponents of the current of Neo institutionalismIt is written in such a way that it observes the development of business from a perspective that combines the rational and non-rational thinking of people, where selfishness and opportunism play an important role, and where the institutions that create man are the regulators of actions. For Neo institutionalism, transaction costs become the north of the theory, and the way to seek efficiency to reduce them becomes the common objective of the actors. Other important factors of the Neo Institutionalism to be dealt with in the article will be the institutions as the main unit of the theory, the contract, the specific assets and the vertical Integration as a way of managing looking for efficiency in the processes. The Vertical integration theme will allow the reader to understand the importance of acquiring the tangible as well as intangible assets of another company inorder to reduce costs and take full control of the production process, thus managing to design operations in a more beneficial way,the buying company to the extent that market dependence decreases.
