Abstract
The article is an attempt to apply complexity theory to study organizations in an environment filled with their competitors and complementors. An agent-based simulation is used to analyze effects of interactions in an environment with different level of complexity. Agents operate trying to adapt to fitness landscape they are placed in (which is based on Kauffman´s NK model) and the obtained level of competition is observed. Results of conducted simulations are presented and analyzed.
