& Ecology: Tactics"Bionomics provides the best starting point for a new way of thinking about the human economy. Cutting through the mind boggling complexity of the ecosystem, the bionomic perspective illuminates the interplay of forces that maintain stability . . . Over time, organizational learning expands the stockpile of technology, reduces real costs, and raises living standards. In a world of fixed resources, learning allows the economic pie to keep growing. Economic growth is limited only by human creativity."
BIONOMICS; Michael Rothschild, 1988How do our assumptions of resource "scarcity" effect our organizational practices? As a "learning organization" how will the enterprise of the 21st century create economic growth from a limited pool resources?
"The
search is for systems that express the idea that wealth is created at every

the present and may not be the unstoppable wave of the future the pundits

the population explosion will have a surprising effect on the number of
people at risk. Roger Bilham, a geologist at the University of Colorado,
has noted that by the year 2000, one hundred cities will have populations
exceeding two million, and by pure chance, almost half these cities are
located in places where the shifting plates of the lithosphere create earthquake
hazard zones. 'It appears,' Bilham warned in 1988, 'that within twelve
years 290 million 'supercity' dwellers, 80 percent of them living in developing
nations, will live in a region of seismic risk.' In fact, so many of us
are clustering along the planet's fault lines that the number of people
in danger of dying in an earthquake will have doubled by the year 2035."Business and community re-location around environmentally safe spots will become a major focus in the first quarter of the 21sc century . . .
