The most narrow expression of path-dependence is the process of state-dependence—having a particular asset stock at one point in time impacts the distribution of asset stocks that can be reached at a subsequent period. Development, how an organizational form unfolds over time, can change those dynamics. A considerable literature has sprung up around the idea of “dynamic capabilities.” This broad idea is broken down into five distinct facets: accessibility of organizational states, robustness of organizations to changes in the state of nature, capacity to influence future states of “nature,” cost of accessing future sets of attributes, and capacity to value the set of organizational attributes. However, this discourse tends to treat “capabilities” as isolated attributes and not to view the organization as a complex adaptive system, a perspective developed here.","PeriodicalId":311913,"journal":{"name":"Evolutionary Processes and Organizational Adaptation","volume":"208 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-06-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132349830","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The Mendelian executive is capable of intentional design efforts in order to explore possible adjacent strategic spaces. Furthermore, the argument developed here highlights the role of intentionality with respect to selection processes within the organization, and the culling and amplification of strategic initiatives. The firm is viewed as operating an “artificial selection” environment in contrast to selection as the direct consequence of the outcome of competitive processes. Examining the nature of the processes generating these experimental variants and the bases of internal selection, and how these selection criteria may themselves change, is argued to be central to the formation of strategy in dynamic environments.","PeriodicalId":311913,"journal":{"name":"Evolutionary Processes and Organizational Adaptation","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-06-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130013685","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The notions of choice and selection differ with respect to the degree of intentionality that they suggest. However, if “choice” is viewed as the identification of preferential action over some set of latent alternatives, then processes of choice and selection can be seen as differing primarily by their level of analysis. Another critical distinction among these processes is their temporal orientation. In the case of rational choice, selection is driven by a projection of the future consequences of alternative actions. In contrast, evolutionary selection processes are driven by the contemporaneous relative fitness of alternatives. A third perspective is that of learning. Here, the preferential attraction to different alternatives is backward looking, with actions that are perceived to have been associated with more successful outcomes more likely to be enacted than those associated with less successful outcomes.","PeriodicalId":311913,"journal":{"name":"Evolutionary Processes and Organizational Adaptation","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-06-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129579050","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We situate this mechanism within an evolutionary framework and then consider some modest propositions for our Mendelian executive. RCTs tend to suffer from a lack of consideration of context dependence, and in that regard pose an interesting contrast with processes of imitation and recombination. The Mendelian executive as envisioned here goes beyond experimentation in a narrow RCT sense and plays a broader role in nurturing organizational adaptation. Three fundamental roles of the Mendelian executive are identified: encouraging adjacencies and identifying ways in which the organization can leverage its existing strengths into new possibilities, agnostic selection reflecting the challenge of selecting out less promising pathways and amplifying more promising ones, and engaging the variegated environment in which the organization operates to both enhance the set of possible adjacencies and the diversity of feedback.","PeriodicalId":311913,"journal":{"name":"Evolutionary Processes and Organizational Adaptation","volume":"30 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-06-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121754704","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Some management theorists have pointed to processes of punctuated change; however, it is argued here that such accounts have generally under-attended to the multi-level nature of these processes and in particular to the critical role of speciation. By recognizing the multi-level nature of these dynamics, we can reconcile our often conflicting sense of organizations and technologies as undergoing periods of rapid change, while still conforming to a gradualist perspective with regard to the underlying elements of organizational capabilities and technologies. This argument is developed to consider change processes in three different contexts: the pace of technological change, shifts in organizational strategy and capabilities, and changes in the scope of firms.","PeriodicalId":311913,"journal":{"name":"Evolutionary Processes and Organizational Adaptation","volume":"125 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-06-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124199605","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
