The Process of Autopoiesis

Qualitative Approach of Organization Management in Basic Processes

Abstract

Research Question (RQ): We ask ourselves, which processes of autopoiesis are connected with the basic processes of organization?

Purpose: The basic purpose of research is to find the connection between the basic processes of autopoiesis and the autopoietic principals for self-organization. 

Method: We used qualitative methods in the research. Our starting point arose from the methodological tool which is called “The Information Graph of Autopoiesis”. We made an analysis of theoretically assumption in the program tool Atlas.ti.  

Results: We found out from qualitative analysis, that the autopoietic processes are: connecting, metabolic and mind, which are connected with basic processes: supervision, accelerating and maintenance. within the set processes there are functioning operative processes: self/co-respect, self/co-awareness as also self/co-organization.  

Organization: Awareness, that an organization is a live matter, which is self/so-produced, if it has favorable conditions. We find out, that mechanistic paradigm still dominates, which “smothers” the development of the life processes in an organic-human organization.

Society: We can not expect, that this society is responsible, if we do not establish relevant conditional in a human being for this, who is creating an organization.

Originality: With quantitative methods we are researching the quality of processes, which are essential, to pass in to the organic-human paradigm. 

Limitations / Future Research: We limited ourselves to research only the on analysis theoretical text. We will continue the future research by transferring the basic theoretical staring points in to a practical environment.
