Emergent organisation
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The term emergent organizations (alternatively emergent organisations) first appeared in the late 1990s and was the topic of the Seventh Annual Washington Evolutionary Systems Conference at University of Ghent, Belgium in May, 1999.
An emergent organization differs from a traditional organization in that its existence spontaneously emerges from and exists in a complex dynamic environment or market place, rather than being a construct or copy of something that already exists.
Emergent organizations and their dynamics pose interesting questions; for example, how does such an organization achieve closure and stability?
- Emergence
- Evolution
- Natural selection
- Organizational behavior
- Organizational development
- Philosophy
- Self-organizing system
- Ubiquitous command and control posits the primitive notion of agreement to explain unity (e.g., closure and stability) in human societies
