Organizations as Ecosystems: Probing the Value of a Metaphor
內容大綱
We increasingly hear the alarm siren signaling that organizations can no longer survive - much less thrive - by continuing to use frameworks developed during the Industrial Revolution. In recent years, one framework that has emerged to illuminate how networked systems function optimally centers on ecological thinking and its application to organizations. The implication is that an 'organizational ecosystem' functions much as a biological ecosystem does, exhibiting both desirable and undesirable properties that are similar to what we see in nature. The authors discuss four meaningful similarities and four fundamental between organizational and biological ecosystems and in so doing, deconstruct this popular metaphor.
