What are Emergent Organizations

Emergent Organizations are self-organizing systems of independent, self-motivated individuals that, collectively, produce preditcable, and usually optimum results. Examples include:

  • Self Interested Individuals working in a free market economy to create efficient resource and labor allocations.
  • Ants, which contrary to popular belief, make up their own minds about what work they do, but still, somehow, manage to feed the colony, raise the offspring and keep the group functioning well.
  • Google, which traces every html link to each page and uses the number of links to determine rankings in search results.
