Abstract

Since the discovery of organizational atoms in 1958 by the late Emma I. Ess, many organizational particles have been isolated and studied, especially various types of humanoid particles including beanoids, decisionoids, and various types of staffoids.The structure of conventional organizational atoms, basic laws of organizational physics (Emma's Lemmas) and recent discoveries by Emma's cousins, Dee S. Ess and Dee Bea M. Ess are discussed. The recent laboratory creation of organizational atoms with integrated data base nuclei has led to the discovery of other types of organizational nuclei which form under special conditions.
