Alliances et imitations sont souvent étudiées à travers le prisme de la quête individuelle de compétitivité. Cette recherche propose d’aborder ces stratégies sous un angle collectif et d’étudier leur impact sur la dynamique d’une industrie. Comment se déroule la transition d’une...

What is the role of co-evolution in a population of firms’ adaptation to a hostile environment ? To answer this question, the network sociology is revisited starting from the Kauffman’s biological computer model. A qualitative methodology is used, updating the mechanisms of exploitation and...

What is the role of co-evolution in the adaptation of a population of firms to a hostile environment ? To answer this question, we revisit network sociology starting from Kauffman s biological computer model. We apply a qualitative methodology to update exploitation and exploration mechanisms in...

Based on evolutionist theories and project management knowledge, a connectionist model based on genetic algorithm is built to simulate innovation process in organizations. Transformation and selection produce micro dynamics to create macro behavior in the agents' population. Results clarify...

The dilemma between radical and market innovations is unlighted here by a simulation. Following evolutionist theory and innovation management, an agent-based model issued from genetic algorithm is built. In a perfect world, transformation and selection create dynamics and emergence in an agent...
