Organ principle
In economics, the organ principle describes the co-determination of government agencies in company decisions. Companies are not seen as autonomous, but as sub-units ("organs of the public body as a whole").
Economic orders
Market economy
In market economies , the organ principle is, alongside the principle of common property and the principle of public utility, a constitutive feature of public companies and administrations .
Central administration economy
In central administration economies , the organ principle generally applies to all companies. According to Erich Gutenberg, in addition to the principle of common property and the principle of central plan fulfillment, it is a constitutive feature of public companies and administrations of a centrally managed system. There is a central plan in which an offer and the corresponding prices are specified. The market economy counterpart to the organ principle is then the principle of autonomy .
