Abstract:

The following paper will describe how path dependent hierarchical organizations are affected by a changing environment. The results of current research in this field (Petermann et al. 2012) analyzed path dependency of norms and institutions in different kinds of hierarchical organizations and the impact of leadership within this process. The results were produced for stable environments only. Agent based simulation was applied as research method. In order to examine how this process evolves when the organizational environment is changing, the existing model will be enhanced. The objective is to simulate the impact of external influences to the emergence of norms within an organization.
