PDF Ebook The Evolution of Business
This paper – as part of a broader evolutionary inquiry toward human fulfillment, societal wellbeing, and environmental sustainability – explores new frontiers for business. In a rapidly changing global environment, corporations can become evolutionary change agents for the creation of a sustainable global civilization by fostering financial, social, and environmental results.
The contemporary metaphors used to describe the business world can be limited in times when an emergent paradigm calls for new visions and actions. An evolutionary understanding, grounded in evolutionary systems theory, can open possibilities for leadership and innovation toward sustainability.
Complex systems, such as organizations, need to learn to learn in harmony with the dynamics of their mileu in order to co-evolve and create value. The paper concludes with a reflection on the implications of the evolutionary paradigm for business education.
The business of business is business. This has been the premise upon which the business world has been perating in the struggle toward market domination and rofitability. Contemporary societies and the business world are inseparable. But so are all human beings and the planet. From a systems perspective, all human institutions, individuals and the environments in which they live and operate are inextricably interconnected in a complex and elegant web of mutually influential relationships. And yet, this understanding is hardly reflected in the functioning of the business world.
