Читать книгу Evolutionary Models in Business - Evgeny Klochkov - Страница 4

In December 2019, during the plenary session at the “100 Steps to a Favorable Investment Climate” conference, an important thesis about the future of business was aired by Konstantin Polunin, a partner of Boston Consulting Group (BCG): “Companies will determine their right to exist in terms of the cumulative systemic effect rather than in terms of return for shareholders”.

In recent years, it is often suggested in the professional community that the study of complex, self-generating, self-organizing, nonlinear, and adaptive systems will become the most relevant in the 21st century, the main meaningful goal of the organization and its mission (rather than the self-preservation of the company) being the key factors to these systems. The new paradigm will view business structures not as organizational models, but as living organisms. The solution to the task of building the next generation structure will lie more in biology and psychology than in engineering and finance. But in order to understand this thesis, it is worthwhile to study more closely what it can be based on, what theoretical models may underlie this assumption. The book will describe the models that form the basis of the hypothesis that it is much more effecient and far-sighted to perceive business as a living organism.
