Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why does the number of organizations of any given kind vary over time? Utilizing a diverse group of organizations including national labor unions, newspapers and newspaper publishers, brewing firms, life insurance companies, and banks, this book seeks to deepen and broaden the understanding of change in organizational populations by examining the dynamics of numbers of organizations in populations. Such an approach involves explaining the sources of growth and decline in the sum of organizations (what the authors call "density") over the histories of populations of organizations. The authors conclude their study by formulating a theory of density-dependent legitimation and competition.

Book Synopsis Evolutionary Dynamics of Organizations by : Joel A.C. Baum
Download or read book Evolutionary Dynamics of Organizations written by Joel A.C. Baum and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 1994-03-31 with total page 518 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents the latest research and theory about organizational evolutionary change. It brings together the work of organization theorists who have played key roles in challenging the orthodox adaptation views that prevailed until the beginning of the 1980s. Joel A.C. Baum and Jitendra V. Singh emphasize hierarchy of evolutionary processes at the intraorganizational level, the organizational level, the population level, and the community level. Derived from a conference held at the Stern School of Business at New York University, Evolutionary Dynamics of Organizations is organized in a way that gives order and coherence to what has been a diverse and multidisciplinary field.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hannan and Freeman examine the ecology of organizations by exploring the competition for resources and by trying to account for rates of entry and exit and for the diversity of organizational forms. They show that the destinies of organizations are determined more by impersonal forces than by the intervention of individuals.

This book was released on 2010 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis addresses two main theoretical issues within the field of organizational ecology, namely: (1) competition dynamics of organizations in a fuzzy-set construction, and (2) emergence of organizational forms, in the context of corporate identity consultancy in Shenzhen, China. The empirical setting is significantly different from existing organizational studies, in that the population under observation is constructed following the recently developed fuzzy-set theory. Fuzzy-set concept is the foundation of this thesis, upon which hypotheses and theories are constructed. Firstly, I revisit density-dependent theory in the new fuzzy setup, using the reformulated specification of fuzzy density. I find that the well-known theory does not hold in a fuzzy context. I speculate that the inconsistence is perhaps due to missing information in the fuzzy density measure. As such, I argue that density-dependent theory alone might not be sufficient to explain organizational dynamics in a fuzzy population. I proceed by investigating the competitive relationship among firms with varying degree of grade of membership (GoM). I find that population with neutral valence (i.e., it is at its initial stage of operation) favours organizations that are less focused on the offer that associated with the population, since the potency of cultural classification at such stage is largely dormant. As the population ages, the potency of cultural classification is triggered and now poses significant constraints on population members, therefore population with positive valence (i.e., it is aged) favours organizations with higher GoM (i.e., those that are more focused on the offer), thanks to their higher level of intrinsic appeal. Secondly, I examine the possibility that CI industry may become a (cognitive) organizational form. Following the recently developed theory of contrast dependence (Hannan, Pólos et al. 2007), I find that the underlying mechanism of legitimation is more delicate than pr.

Download or read book Spatial Ecology written by David Tilman and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2018-06-05 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Spatial Ecology addresses the fundamental effects of space on the dynamics of individual species and on the structure, dynamics, diversity, and stability of multispecies communities. Although the ecological world is unavoidably spatial, there have been few attempts to determine how explicit considerations of space may alter the predictions of ecological models, or what insights it may give into the causes of broad-scale ecological patterns. As this book demonstrates, the spatial structure of a habitat can fundamentally alter both the qualitative and quantitative dynamics and outcomes of ecological processes. Spatial Ecology highlights the importance of space to five topical areas: stability, patterns of diversity, invasions, coexistence, and pattern generation. It illustrates both the diversity of approaches used to study spatial ecology and the underlying similarities of these approaches. Over twenty contributors address issues ranging from the persistence of endangered species, to the maintenance of biodiversity, to the dynamics of hosts and their parasitoids, to disease dynamics, multispecies competition, population genetics, and fundamental processes relevant to all these cases. There have been many recent advances in our understanding of the influence of spatially explicit processes on individual species and on multispecies communities. This book synthesizes these advances, shows the limitations of traditional, non-spatial approaches, and offers a variety of new approaches to spatial ecology that should stimulate ecological research.

Book Synopsis Constructing Social Theories by : Arthur L. Stinchcombe
Download or read book Constructing Social Theories written by Arthur L. Stinchcombe and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 1987-07-15 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Constructing Social Theories presents to the reader a range of strategies for constructing theories, and in a clear, rigorous, and imaginative manner, illustrates how they can be applied. Arthur L. Stinchcombe argues that theories should not be invented in the abstract—or applied a priori to a problem—but should be dictated by the nature of the data to be explained. This work was awarded the Sorokin prize by the American Sociological Association as the book that made an outstanding contribution to the progress of sociology in 1970.

Book Synopsis Interacting Complexities of Herds and Social Organizations by : Stanislaw Raczynski
Download or read book Interacting Complexities of Herds and Social Organizations written by Stanislaw Raczynski and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2019-09-05 with total page 150 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents examples of and the latest simulation studies on artificial societies and populations, highlighting innovative implementations of various models of artificial societies and populations using a new, C++-related simulation tool. It demonstrates that the prey-predator models—including spatial distribution, moving patterns, limited renewable food, fear, gregarious (herd) instinct, clustering, epidemics, and competition—are more complex than other publications have suggested, and highlights the great discrepancy between agent-based and conventional continuous models. The book also discusses the modeling and simulation of self-organization and interactions between organizations, including terror organizations, offering fascinating insights into organizational dynamics. The book provides a broad range of examples and comparisons with the classical dynamics approach, showing readers how to construct models of complex systems. It starts with descriptions of the behavior of interacting individuals and also includes important information on the macro-behavior of the whole system.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the last decade, the prominent approach in organization theory has moved from an emphasis on adaptive change in organizations to an increasingly influential selection approach to studying organizational change. This volume addresses organizational evolution by examining the process of continual change within organizations, including founding, disbanding, growth and change. Drawn from a broad theoretical base, the chapters provide the most current evolutionary thinking about organizations from a variety of fields.
