Organizational culture has a significant influence on the success of organizations. Culture determines the kinds of responses that the organization makes to required changes and will make to new problems. It can help predict how well the organization will deal with change. One of these changes is a knowledge management project. Knowledge is viewed as a driver in the definition and development o...

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 as...

Introduction: In Planetary Science, thermal inertia has been defined the ability of a material to resist a temperature change when applying a periodic forcing function. Thermal inertia is used to answer scientific questions about the Martian surface and is used to constrain engineering requirements. However, one not familiar with its derivation, may inquire the following: 1) Why are the factors...

Why do successful organizations often move in new directions and then fail? We propose that this pattern is especially likely among organizations that have survived a history of competition. Such experience adapts organizations to their environment, through so-called “Red Queen” evolution, but being well-adapted for one context makes moving into new contexts more hazardous. Meanwhile, managers ...

the non-split extension group $overline{g} = 5^3{^.}l(3,5)$ is a subgroup of order 46500000 and of index 1113229656 in ly. the group $overline{g}$ in turn has l(3,5) and $5^2{:}2.a_5$ as inertia factors. the group $5^2{:}2.a_5$ is of order 3 000 and is of index 124 in l(3,5). the aim of this paper is to compute the fischer-clifford matrices of $overline{g}$, which together with associated parti...
