Evolution and entropy in the life cycle of sustainable social organizations

Social organizations are created to satisfy community needs. Different kinds of organizations are composed by a network of human relationships, some of them manifested by apparently unimportant events, like greetings, smiles, phone calls, rituals, etc. One way of looking at social organizations is under the metaphor of living systems immersed in an evolutionary environment, in which they have distinct stages of transformation. The process of change under a cycle of life has different stages such as: a fast and radical change, a slow adaptive transformation, a stage of maturation and a last stage of obsolescence, or a new stage of radical change, before a bifurcation point is reached. This paper includes an analysis of the relationships between stages of evolutionary development (entropic and neguentropic equilibrium) of social organizations. The purpose is to design opportune actions to address the challenges of entropic an neguentropic stages of organizational development. The organizational design is oriented toward the sustainability of social organizations.
