"Organizations & Constraint-Based Adaptation" (PDF file) Author: Kathleen M. Carley Abstract Organizations can and do adapt to their environment; however, this adaptation is subject to various institutional constraints. Laws, institutional norms, and so forth set the parameters in which the organization can adapt. a question that arises in this context is whether organizations can locate optimal forms if they are subject to such constraints. That ids, does constrained but strategic adaptation admit optimization/ Further complications arise for organizations because they are composed of intelligent agents who themselves are learning as they pass through a multitude of experiences. | ||
