Comparative Approach between “Organizational Life Cycle” and “Rational Biological Model”

Abstract

This paper proposes an analogy between rational biological model and the organizations’ development during their existence. So, organizations’ "birth" or creation are considered the result of genetic algorithms, transformations are identified with changes that aim the adapting to the environment, and finally the ”death” treats the state of crisis and bankruptcy. In every stage of life there are proposals to increase it, by extension of states identified in the human area and not taken into account in the artificial one, which must learn from the first system, which we consider superior in the process of evolution. Although the authors’ approaches, do not build operational models to support the thesis presented, ask questions and focus on elements of management philosophy that "tomorrow" will certainly be resolved.
