Population adaptation with newcomers and incumbents: The effects of the organizational niche

Gábor Péli

Industrial and Corporate Change, 2017, vol. 26, issue 1, 103-124

Abstract: The article integrates three theory fragments of organizational ecology using symbolic logic. It takes an earlier model that aligned inertia theory with Red Queen competition theory as a departure point and extends this model with temporal niche theory effects. The conflicting predictions between earlier and new theory phases are reconciled by applying the knowledge-updating feature of non-monotonic logic. The results indicate a rationale for discriminating between qualitative and quantitative aspects of environmental change, and also for telling apart ways of organizational adaptation based on effectiveness and efficiency.
