OrgSwarm - A Particle Swarm Model of Organizational Adaptation

Authors

Abstract

This study extends the particle swarm metaphor to include
the domain of organizational adaptation. A simulation model, OrgSwarm,
is constructed in order to examine the impact of strategic inertia on the
adaptive potential of a population of organizations. The key finding is
that a degree of strategic inertia, in the presence of an election mechanism,
can assist rather than hamper adaption of the population.
