Application of Natural Science and Engineering Methods as a Trend in the Development of Economic and Management Research and Education

AbstractIn the article, authors study the trend in the development of research in economics and management within the application of natural science and engineering methods. It is found that the most widely used natural science and engineering methods, when solving researching and applied tasks, are related to the following groups: econophysics, thermodynamics, informational value theory, economic genetics, cenoses theory methods and also methods based on chemical kinetics and stoichiometry approaches. It is defined that the number of publications related to the use of each group methods increases due to the activity of authors founded the scientific school and their disciples, then it stabilizes or slows down, after, in case of concept efficiency (which is a base for the research) the number of publications increases again but now due to the application of the concept in different scientific and applied fields
