| Tiivistelmä: | Companies are not only systems created and controlled by those who manage them but also self-organizing entites that evolve through learning. Whereas an organism is a creation of natural replicators, genes, an organization can be seen as a product of an alternative replicator, the meme or mental model, acting, like a gene, to preserve itself in an Evolutionary Stable System. The result is an organization which self-organizes around a set of unspoken and unwritten rules and assumptions. Biological evolution is stimulated by environmental change and reproductive isolation: the process of punctual equilibrium. Corporate innovation shows the same pattern. Innovations in products and processes occur in groups isolated from prevailing mental norms. Succesful organic strains possess a genetic capability for adaptation. |
