THE EMERGENCE OF ORGANIZATIONS AND MARKETS John F. Padgett Walter W. Powell (Princeton University Press, 2012)

overview of theory … (chapter 1)

Black hole of genesis At its foundational core, current social science cannot explain novelty, especially emergence of new types of actors: -- persons, organizations, states and markets Because methodological individualism cannot derive its own axioms We need a theory of transformational flows, out of which objects and behaviors emerge

Biochemistry as inspiration Chemistry does not contain all the answers, but it points in the right direction Origins of life Social structure as vortex Example of the human body: no atom in your nose was there two years ago

Components of the theory I. Autocatalysis -- the network version of Darwin II. Multiple networks -- over time, in resource and biographical feedback III. Network-folding mechanisms of organizational genesis -- the network version of Mendel

I. Autocatalysis: Chemical From origins of life literature (Manfred Eigen), Autocatalysis = chemical definition of Life: “Set of nodes and transformations in which nodes are constructed by transformations among nodes in the set.” “Nodes” can be molecules, products, people, or symbols/words, as long as transformed through interaction

Autocatalysis: Social Padgett and Powell mantra: In the short run, actors make relations. In the long run, relations make actors. “Actors” are composites of production rules, relational protocols, and linguistic addresses. Each of these reproduce and recombine as they flow through people and organizations.

3 types of Autocatalysis Production autocatalysis -- products flow in trade through skills in cells -- skills reproduce and die Biographical autocatalysis -- skills flow through teaching among cells -- cells reproduce and die Linguistic autocatalysis -- symbols flow through addresses (names) of cells, thereby channeling flows -- symbols and addresses reproduce and die

Economic Production as Chemistry

Agent-based modeling findings Autocatalysis more likely and more complex when: Spatial (or network), not random, interaction -- mosaic of heterogeneous learning dyads Altrustic, not selfish, reproduction -- because of direct repair Stigmergy --because of indirect repair Multiple networks (i.e., domain differentiation) an automatic corollary of autocatalysis

II. Multiple Networks Autocatalysis is the emergence of life, but that that is not speciation, which is the tipping of one form of life into another To get speciation, need multiple autocatalytic networks that interlock and tip each other -- multiple networks essential for evolution -- otherwise “equilibrium” which is dead

Innovation vs. Invention Organizational Innovation = cross-domain recombination of networks (vertical ∆ in fig) -- transposing production or relational practices across domains Organizational Invention = spillover into tipping domains themselves (horiz. ∆ in fig) -- making new industries or fields

III. Network-folding mechanisms of Organizational Genesis P&P documented eight network-folding mechanisms that created new organizational forms: 1. Transposition and Refunctionality -- Renaissance Florentine partnership -- biotechnology in contemporary U.S. 2. Incorporation and Detachment -- medieval international finance 3. Anchoring Diversity -- regional clusters in U.S. life sciences 4. Migration and Homology -- stock market in early-modern Netherlands

Network-folding mechanisms of Organizational Genesis (cont.) 5. Conflict Displacement and Dual Inclusion -- Bismarck in 19th-century Germany 6. Purge and Mass Mobilization -- Stalin, Gorbachev, and Yeltsin in USSR -- Mao in Cultural Revolution 7. Privatization and Business Groups -- post-Communist Hungary 8. Robust Action and Multivocality -- Cosimo de’ Medici in Florence -- Deng Xiaoping in China

Conclusions Q: Where do actors come from? Autocatalytic concatenations of transformation flows -- of skills and of relations. Q: Where does novelty come from? Novelty (innovation) = transposition across multiple networks -- network overlays (social embeddedness) create “topology of the possible” Speciation (invention) = cascades into co-evolution -- org novelties that tip the networks that select them
