Enterprise Expansion Mechanism And Related Decision-making Research Based On The Self-organization And Entropy Theory

In the new context of economic globalization and the Knowledge Economy,enterprises in China and other countries are expanding actively from different levels,in different ways and at different angles. However, they have met many complexquestions during expansion due to the emergence of many complex phenomena.Based on the limitation of traditional expansion theory, this paper appliescomplexity theory to study new problems in enterprise expansion. First, based onexisting enterprise expansion theory and study results of complexity science, thispaper puts forward complexity view of enterprise expansion to analyze expansionphenomena and solve expansion problems. It makes a further development onenterprise expansion theory based on the frame of traditional expansion theory,reviews the nature of expansion, and enriches the connotation of expansion. In thispaper, such new ways of enterprise development as enterprises alliance, networkorganization are put into the connotation of expansion. Second, this paper appliesself-organization methodology to self-organized evolution process of enterpriseexpansion, and analyzes the expansion mechanism of enterprise expansion. Itincludes three parts: (1) According to dissipative structure theory, this paperdiscusses that enterprise expansion is a way in which enterprise system adapts to theenvironment and exchanges material, energy and signore with external environment,is the fluctuation and emergence in enterprise evolvement process, and analyzes thedissipative structure characteristics and dual effect. (2) Based on synergetic theory,this paper studies self-organized evolution motilities of enterprise expansion,establishes model about internal and external competitive and cooperative relationsin enterprise expansion system, finds out the order parameter of enterprise expansionsystem, gives dynamic model, and explains human resources integration process inenterprise expansion. (3) This paper applies hypercycle theory to analyzeself-organized evolution hypercycle mechanism in enterprise expansion, andestablishes hypercycle model of internal expansion, mergers and acquisitions, andalliances. Third, this paper applies entropy theory to enterprise expansion, putsforward that entropy can be used to decide whether enterprise expands, the scale andspeed of enterprise expansion, it gives entropy law about enterprise expansion,expounds on the self-organization process of enterprise expansion entropy change,and analyzes internal and external factors of entropy increase and decrease inenterprise expansion. Fourth, this paper applies enterprise ecology thoughts to enterprise expansion, puts forward that enterprise expansion happens in ecosystemand niche determination is the first step, and gives the niche model of enterpriseexpansion. It points that enterprise expansion is the expansion and transition ofenterprise niche, and describes the niche in enterprise expansion. Then, it gives theway of differentiated position in enterprise expansion based on niche theory. Finally,it puts forward niche strategies for growing SMEs who want to expand. Fifth, thispaper describes the evolution of enterprise expansion mode, and divides enterpriseexpansion mode into three kinds according to openness, and analyzes theircharacteristics. It expounds on the self-organization traits and characteristics ofenterprise expansion, and puts forward self-organization judging method about thechoice of enterprise expansion mode according to the self-organization formingcondition. Sixth, this paper puts forward proper expansion strategy based on entropytheory; defines the connotation of enterprise expansion degree from the scale, speedand economic scope of enterprise expansion; analyzes factors which impact onenterprise expansion degree and does entropy description; puts forwarddecision-making model of enterprise expansion degree based on managemententropy theory. Finally, this paper applies enterprise expansion position method,self-organization judging method about the choice of enterprise expansion mode anddecision-making model of enterprise expansion degree to practice, and doesempirical analysis.
