Abstract: Abstract Firms as autopoietic organizations (i.e. autopoietic systems) are primarily constituted in terms of decisive communications, or communicative events – they do not consist of people, who are defined to be in the environment of social autopoietic systems. In other words, the firms are autopoietic in that they are networks of communications that produce further communications, and only communications.
