Emergent Distributed Intelligence as a Rent-Generating Competence: A Complexity Theory Approach

نویسنده

  • Bill McKelvey
چکیده

Human and social capital development are discussed in the context of increasing corporate IQ, defined as distributed intelligence (DI) in firms, as the basis of economic rent generation. A review of complexity science shows that adaptive tension dynamics (Lorenz energy-differentials) may be used to foster adaptively efficacious DI appreciation. The optimal region for rapidly improving adaptive fitness occurs “at the edge of chaos.” This region—in which emergent self-organization occurs—exists between the 1 and 2 critical values of adaptive tension. Below the 1 value there is little change; above the 2 value the system becomes chaotic and dysfunctional. Various managerial competencies are discussed by which rentseeking CEOs may create or enlarge the region of emergence, thereby fostering improved corporate IQ.

Human and social capital development are discussed in the context of increasing corporate IQ, defined as distributed intelligence (DI) in firms, as the basis of economic rent generation. A review of current multi-level leadership theories shows that charismatic visionary CEOs more often than not create conditions likely to inhibit the develop of DI. Complexity science theory indicates that ‘ada...

A multi agent method for cell formation with uncertain situation, based on information theory

This paper assumes the cell formation problem as a distributed decision network. It proposes an approach based on application and extension of information theory concepts, in order to analyze informational complexity in an agent- based system, due to interdependence between agents. Based on this approach, new quantitative concepts and definitions are proposed in order to measure the amount of t...

Emergent Model Based On Hybrid Rough Sets Systems

The development of many knowledge discovery methods provided us with a good foundation for building hybrid systems based on rough set theory for knowledge discovery in a database. The need for more effective methods of generating and maintaining global nonfunctional properties suggests an approach analogous to those of natural processes in generating emergent properties. An emergent model allow...

Demonstrating Emergent Intelligence: An Evolutionary Multi-Agent System for Job Shop Scheduling

An evolutionary approach to manufacturing job shop scheduling is proposed, implemented through a Multi-Agent System (MAS) exhibiting emergent intelligence. This approach is fundamentally different from traditional approaches by having its focus on the automated scheduler instead of on the scheduling instance, and on flexibility and responsiveness instead of on optimality (at the expense of prac...
