Abstract

In order to successfully compete within diverse ecosystems, organizations adopt hierarchical structures. In the military, business, animal prides, and packs, different participants establish connections and form hierarchies that enable an organization or group to compete, evolve, and survive more effectively. With the same set of performers, various configurations can render an organization or group more or less effective. This paper examines the modeling of performers’ characteristics and the dependency of a performer’s position within the hierarchy on those attributes. The rise of automation and digitization has led to the emergence of automated autonomous subsystems that can compete with humans, integrate into overall management structures, occupy specific levels in the management hierarchy, and function as “super-performers.” The study presents an experiment introducing performers into the hierarchy who significantly outperform others in terms of their characteristics and analyzes the impact of incorporating such performers on organizational effectiveness.

KEYWORDS: organization, management, hierarchy, structure, reengineering, automation, optimization, graph, tree, super-performer.
