Flexible Holonic Organization Modeling and Cultural Evolution

Flexible organization is an inevitable choice of the enterprises to response to changes under dynamic environment. This paper proposes a holon (holonic organization) recursive model combining characteristics of holon with rules of the organization, and discusses the holonic structure and the formation process of holonic organization. This paper designs cultural evolution model of holonic organization applying cultural algorithm, which constructs holon population space and holon belief space to realize the organizational goal and organization self-evolution. Holonic organization modeling based on cultural algorithm breaks the traditional framework for the organization adaptation, and supports self-adaptation and self-evolution of organization. Finally, flexible holonic virtual enterprise model applying the above ideas is designed, which shows the modeling method for the organization to establish an effective response mechanism is effective and feasible under dynamic environment.
