“…In contrast, adhocracy, facilitate innovation (Mintzberg & McHugh, 1985) and is likely to be receptive to organisational change through the development of vision. The vision evolves from the professionals who have knowledge, power, and a willingness to work collectively such that the commitment to the vision evolves through lateral processes (Daher, 2016;Petkova, 2014;Schatten et al, 2014) Source: Knowles (2002)…”

Global mega-trends are leading to increasing levels of complexity, dynamism andturbulence within organisations. In an uncertain economy, organisations need real strategies that will enable them to thrive. Traditional leadership approaches have been rendered insufficient by rapid changes in the knowledge economy. The leadership literature has typically conceptualised the construct in terms of leader style and behaviour and, leader-follower relations. But findings from this stream are far from convergent and cogent. The purpose of this article is to create a theory-based integrative framework that can be used to identify the components comprising management and leadership. It reexamines the link among the self, others and the organisation and, how leadership should be conceptualised in the increasingly global contemporary context. Specifically, we apply the dichotomy of management versus leadership to theorise that it is not simply a matter of individual differences in competencies, skills and attitudes that ensure the development of creative and talented leaders. Rather, it is about how praxis, practice and the practioner offer both a challenge and transformation lens to observe the ways that global leadership is bounded and constrained by organisational and managerial conventions. In essence, this work suggest that leaders and managers need to apply systemic thinking competencies to catalyse organisational performance in the current fast-changing, knowledge-driven global business landscape in order to remain competitive.

“…Basically we will describe three sets of methods that allow us (1) to model NPCs (finite state machines), (2) user behavior (agent based modeling of social network structures), and (3) bots (agent behaviors, automated planning techniques, consensus and coordination techniques). Our objective in future research is to study user behavior using social network analysis and natural language processing in order to establish agent based models of their behavior that will be mapped into an ontology of organizational design of large-scale MAS (developed partially in [7], [8], [9], [10]) to be used in the implementation of bots to foster organizational behavior among them.…”

Abstract-Massively Multi-Player On-Line Role-Playing Games (MMORPG) give us the opportunity to study two important aspects of computing: (1) large-scale virtual social interaction of people (players) and (2) the design, development and coordination of large-scale distributed artificial intelligence (AI). A common denominator for both aspects are the methods used to study them: social interaction can be described and simulated using agent-based models (ABM) whilst distributed AI is commonly modeled in terms of multi-agent systems (MAS). The important question to ask in both perspectives is how do agents organize in order to perform their tasks and reach their objectives? In the following paper we will present and overview of agent-based approaches to modeling MMORPG's agents including human players, artificial players (bots) and nonplaying characters (NPCs). We will put a special accent on useful agent behaviors, coordination and consensus mechanisms as well as organization and social network structure of agent societies.
