Enterprise Organization Engineering

Moving beyond traditional “organizational machine” thinking, this book redefines the enterprise as a living system—one that grows, mutates, repairs itself, and preserves its core genetic identity over time.

Drawing inspiration from life sciences and tissue engineering, the authors introduce a systematic framework built around organizational life characteristics, genes, seed cells, life scaffolds, and growth factors. This framework offers a rigorous methodology for addressing some of today’s most difficult management challenges, including organizational decline, major transformation, multinational operations, mergers and acquisitions, and the reconstruction of some long-standing communities of specific entrepreneurs (and enterprises created by them).

Combining deep theoretical innovation with structured diagnostic and intervention tools, this book provides scholars, senior executives, and consultants with a new paradigm for achieving sustainable organizational renewal, resilience, and long-term vitality. This volume focuses on application, diagnosis, and organizational intervention, and serves as the companion book to Enterprise Organization Engineering: Academic Origins and Theoretical System (Springer, 2023).
