Autopoietic Cognitive Systems in Management Applications

Abstract

This chapter presents the study of available literature describing autopoietic systems using the systematic mapping study method. Using the knowledge domain visualization technique, the areas of application for management cognitive systems and described therein self-sufficient processes responsible for the success of an organisation were presented. In the study, the research domains considered from the perspective of autopoiesis, such as cognitive computing (CC), information system (IS), communications systems, and Social Systems, were isolated. The study demonstrated that systems implemented based on CC in connection with IS are recommended for management systems. Research confirmed that CC applications using cognitive systems in autopoietic cognitive systems solutions constitute a developing field. Finally, specific and practical applications of cognitive technologies capable of being translated into the economic success of enterprises were indicated.
