We study the interaction of mutations, developmental learning, and environmental change, as these processes effect changes in the genetic makeup of a population over time. Employing simulation based in genetic algorithms, we find that mutations have a consistent Diversifying Effect, which, in the presence of a changing environment, becomes an Adaptive Effect as average fitness increases, as wel...

The relationship between technological change and environmental policy has received increasing attention from scholars and policy makers alike over the past ten years. This is partly because the environmental impacts of social activity are significantly affected by technological change, and partly because environmental policy interventions themselves create new constraints and incentives that a...

This research setting is used to explore and propose enhancements to existing theory that take into account how organizations respond to extreme forms of change. We propose a typ...
