Satoshi Kanazawa at LSE in a recent paper titled, “First Kill All Economists…”

“Microeconomics and its model of the singular and unitary actor can no longer adequately explain organizational behavior now that there are men and women in corporations. Evolutionary psychology, with its premise of fundamental and inherent sex differences, is necessary to replace microeconomics as the predominant theoretical perspective in business and management schools. The recent Safeway fiasco illustrates the danger of continuing to use microeconomics in the study of management in the 21st century.”

He has also made other predictions as well;

"The productivity of male scientists tends to drop right after marriage,…Scientists tend to 'desist' from scientific research upon marriage, just like criminals desist from crime upon marriage…Men conduct scientific research (or do anything else) in order to attract women and get married (albeit unconsciously),.. "What’s the point of doing science (or anything else) if one is already married? Marriage (or, more accurately reproductive success, which men can usually attain only through marriage) is the goal; science or anything else men do is but a means. From my perspective, scientists are no different than anybody else; evolutionary psychology applies to all humans equally,"

Unsolicited advice to Kanazawa, paraphrasing Hayek, “an evolutionary psychologist who’s only an evolutionary psychologist cannot be a good evolutionary psychologist”. For some pitfalls of evolutionary psychology read the book Ramachandran's Phantoms in the Brain.
