Research Methods and Fields of Biomimetic Management

Abstract

Influenced by the theory of sustainable development, scholars and enterprise managers began to reflect on the growth strategy of enterprises. Bionic management as a cross-disciplinary discipline provides a new research idea for social organization management. Enterprise Management Bionics emphasizes to improve enterprise’s own survival ability through this way. Based on a systematic review of the relevant literature, this paper briefly introduces the research results on the generation and concept of biomimetic management, and systematically and logically expounds the research methods and corresponding research fields of biomimetic management, in each field, the introduction of relevant theoretical research results to explain. In terms of research methods, it is mainly divided into phenotypic research and mechanism research, but with the development and innovation of theory and research, the main research method adopted in bionic management is mechanism bionics, by studying the inner operating mechanism and law of organism, the valuable part is used for reference to expand the research thought of Management Science. Through combing the literature, it is found that the research fields and research methods of biomimetic management can effectively correspond. The main contents of bionics include individual bionics, population bionics, community bionics and system bionics. PHENOTYPIC bionics is represented by the early life cycle theory. According to the insufficiency of the existing research, the future related research was prospected.
