Abstract

The external environment of firms is constantly changing. To adapt to change, they are required to continue to change their internal environment. In this chapter, the author considers the coordination mechanisms existing in constitutive elements of business organizations, applying the concept of Dynamic Equilibrium Theory in the field of life science.

Inflexible mechanisms will not affect a short-term business performance, whereas will endanger a firm’s existence in the long term. To avoid such a risk, sophistication of coordination mechanisms should be highly required. This chapter also discusses measures to advance coordination mechanisms.
