| Abstract: | Autopoeisis is a new theory which explains the evolution of living organisms. Essentially it argues that organizms' development takes place through a closed system of relations. It is the result of careful and methodical change and adaptation. Applied to human thinking, autopoetic theory claims that the human cognitive system is closed and autonomous and constructs its own reality by making distinctions in observations. The system is self-referential. The authors draw out the implications of this for the corporate world since corporations are also cognitive systems. |
