Population adaptation with newcomers and incumbents: The effects of the organizational niche

Abstract

The article integrates three theory fragments of organizational ecology using symbolic logic. It takes an earlier model that aligned inertia theory with Red Queen competition theory as a departure point and extends this model with temporal niche theory effects. The conflicting predictions between earlier and new theory phases are reconciled by applying the knowledge-updating feature of non-monotonic logic. The results indicate a rationale for discriminating between qualitative and quantitative aspects of environmental change, and also for telling apart ways of organizational adaptation based on effectiveness and efficiency.
