Chapter 8 in Autopoietic Knowledge Systems in Project-Based Companies, 2010, pp 106-174 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract A project-based company as an autopoietic knowledge system consists of 12 different non-physical components. The properties of and relationships among these components determine the interacting processes of autopoietic self-production. Their interactions maintain a project-based company’s functioning, learning, renewal, and co-evolution with its environment. However, although the components can be identified in project-based companies, there can be a significant variation among them, depending on the environment type in which the company operates (e.g. a mechanical, organic, semi-mechanical, or semi-organic project work environment).
