چکیده
This paper extends the particle swarm metaphor into the domain of organization science. A simulator (OrgSwarm) which can be used to model the adaptation of a population of organizations on a strategic landscape is introduced. The simulator embeds a number of features of the process of organizational adaptation, including the resistance of organizations to change (strategic inertia), errorful assessments of the payoffs to proposed strategies, and market competition.
