Research on the Life Cycle of Enterprise Organization

The logical premise for establishing Enterprise organization engineering is that enterprise organizations have life characteristics. This chapter systematically analyzes these life characteristics of enterprise organization, includes significance of the research of the life characteristics of enterprise organizations (determining the world view of Enterprise organization engineering, determining the research paradigm of Enterprise organization engineering, determining the subject of Enterprise organization engineering research, determining the starting point of research on Enterprise organization engineering), standard lifeform life characteristics analysis (metabolism, growth, development, aging, death and decay, self-regulation, self-replication, selective adaptation, heredity and mutation, biodiversity, structural tightness and orderliness), characteristics of the life of an enterprise organization (metabolism and self-regulation, life cycle, capable of self-replication or inheritance, ability to adapt to environment or mutation, diversity or heterogeneity, well-organized structure), similarities and differences in the life characteristics of enterprise organizations and standard life forms (similarities, differences, differences in metabolism, differences in life cycle, differences in self-replication or heredity, differences in adaptation to environment or variation, differences in diversity or heterogeneity, differences in organizational structure), preliminary ideas of enterprise organization life characteristics diagnosis (qualitative diagnosis or preliminary diagnosis, quantitative or detailed diagnosis, designing organization engineering reengineering plan).
