Abstract
This article studies first how the concept of activity has been taken into account by Economics and Business Adminstration throughout History till now. It analyses how the paradigm D (decision) – E (Exchange/Transaction) – R (Resources) replaced the paradigm A (Activity) – P (Production) – L (Learning). The comeback of Activity concept into recent research in Business Administration imposed by the strong comeback of Value concept, raises methodology and theory issues which must still be explored.
