Organizational Homeostasis: A Quantum Theoretical Exploration With Bohmian and Prigoginian Systemic Insights

Abstract

This research investigates the intricate dynamics of systemic well-being within organizational frameworks, intertwining Bohm’s idea of ‘wholeness’ and Prigogine’s perspective on equilibrium. By rooting its exploration in wave analogies and quantum principles like superposition, non-locality, and entanglement, the study highlights the fluctuation (far-from-equilibrium) in systems around a balanced state. Contrasting conventional ideas of stability, Prigogine emphasized the constant divergence systems experience while pursuing equilibrium. This study investigates the complex dynamics of systemic well-being within organizational structures, drawing upon Bohm’s concept of ‘wholeness’ and Prigogine’s theories on equilibrium. It employs wave analogies and quantum principles such as superposition, non-locality, and entanglement to illuminate the nature of fluctuations in systems striving for a balanced state. Consequently, this research advocates for a paradigmatic shift in organizational strategies, orienting towards a balanced approach underpinned by scientific principles. This shift is proposed as a means to address and bridge existing management gaps. Within this context, organizations demand versatile strategies aligned with dissipative structures, utilizing external energies to uphold internal coherence amidst potential chaos. Moreover, elevated through mindful strategies, corporate consciousness offers insights into temporal dynamics, enhancing decision-making, resilience against market fluctuations, and fostering an enriched organizational ethos rooted in present awareness. Consequently, the emergent corporate entity, invigorated by this heightened consciousness and need for corporate alignment and coherence, excels in present conditions and is adept at anticipating and addressing future challenges. This paper introduces “Mindful Corporate Entity” (‘MCE’), underscoring the essence of mindfulness as a cardinal strategy to ensure holistic organizational well-being and enduring sustainability.
