Evolution of technology management system based on self-organization theory

Abstract

Industrial and academic interest in how to effectively manage technology resources is increasing as it becomes more and more important. Effective managing of technology resources depends on technology management system, and thus understanding how such system evolves becomes an ongoing research topic. Based on the self-organization theory, this paper constructs an evolution model of technology management system. The simulation results show that the evolution of each of the technology management subsystem is affected by the knowledge growth rate of its own, and it is also affected by the coupling and synergy relationship with other subsystems. Moreover, the coupling and synergy relationship can make the speed of evolution higher than the knowledge growth rate of the subsystem itself.
