The structuralism Harvard school which was dominant in industrial organization theory system was criticed,and some opponents of structuralism are highly regarded,Austrian school is one of the schools of critical structuralism, paying attention to market behavior.Austrian school is considered as a industrial organization behavior school,and a force that cannot be ignored in the development process of industrial organization theory.Austrian school has unique idea in industrial organization,and has further research in spontaneous order, market process and monopoly problems,and has promoted the development of the theory of industrial organization,and exerts great influence in the compass of many competition policy and the antimonopoly law.
