摘要: The authors suggest that scale efficiency in an organization is the result of four constituents: autonomous agents, parallel activity, asynchronous communications, and certain consensus-producing mechanisms. first three these constituents are reasonably easy to obtain using existing computer technologies. conjecture mechanisms can be very simple. Two have been identified social instincts (where agents adopt approaches their most successful neighbors) a destructor mechanism subset made responsible for destroying work they deem inferior). has demonstrated with traveling salesman problem. >
