"Autopoiesis in Organization Theory and Practice" considers the
potential of autopoiesis theory to provide a new unifying framework
for the study of organizations as systems and of organizational
phenomena as emergent phenomena. The papers in this volume
integrate open systems theory with the pioneering work of Maturana
and Varela (1980, 1992) on autopoiesis in biological systems.
Viewing organizations as living systems opens a powerful new
perspective for describing, explaining, and even predicting
organizational phenomena across the full spectrum of organizations
and environments, from stable to highly dynamic. This collection of
papers brings into focus both the great potential and the important
challenges facing organizational thinkers in building new
organization theory and deriving new principles for management
practice based on autopoiesis theory. The topics include the
fundamental features of autopoiesis theory, the key conceptual
issues surrounding the use of autopoiesis concepts in representing
and analyzing organizations as living systems, and the practical
applications of autopoiesis theory in designing organizations and
managing organizational processes.
