DOI: 10.4018/978-1-7998-9301-1.ch006
Abstract
The objective of the chapter is to develop an organizational sustainability index based on development indicators from 1980 to 2019. The sample is made up of the aggregation of low, low middle, upper middle, and high income countries constructed by the World Bank. High-income economies had the least sustainable organizations in 1980 with an index value of -13.8, while in 2019 its value was 25.7. On the other hand, the lower middle-income countries had an increase of 15.2, going from -9.2 in 1980 to 5.9 in 2019. Similarly, the upper middle-income economies went from -3.8 in 1980 to 6.6 in 2019, with a growth of 10.48. Low-income countries started with the highest levels of sustainability among the four categories with 1.6; in 2019 the value of the calculated index was 5.20, that is, a growth of only 3.5 units.

Galois Lattice Quantum Model for NVOs
An aggregation of agents dedicated to a project that cannot be solved by isolated agents. Roles for organizational agents form its structure based on prior decisions. An organization as the traditional sum of its agent preferences has been largely discredited. Alternatively, an organization is a relatively low energy configuration that makes decisions in a dynamic interdependent environment to defend its territory and expand its influence among other organizations. During decisions, negation among two or more agents serves as nonlinear drivers across the landscape of potential solutions until a consensus is found among its neutral agents (e.g., potential clients). For example, as the entropy of a new decision is reduced to a strong consensus (?K low), the more likely there will be sufficient resources (?R high) to enact the decision (?v high) in the shortest time (?t low).

Grounding Organizations in the Minds of the Agents
Organization” is organization of the activities of sub-units, able to get and process information, to act in a coordinated manner, to co-operate, and to do this with some local – decentralized – autonomy, and adaptation to the context. In particular, ‘organizations’ are coordination structures for cooperation among several agents, in view of iterated and typical problems or problem-solving activities. Any ‘organization’ entails some Multi-Agent (MA) plan, and the agents have to work (case by case) within some common plan. One of the advantages of organizations is precisely that a lot of roles in habitual plans or in possible generative plans are pre-defined and consolidated, and the performer of that part/role has not to know the whole plan or the specific higher goal, has not to negotiate about reciprocal roles, etc. This is one of the reasons organizations are efficient and convenient (reduced cognitive costs, reduced negotiation costs, pre-established general agreement, etc.). In a sense an organization is a meta-plan: both, a plan for making specific and instantiated plans, and a generic, non-instantiated plan to be applied. So the roles in the organization are generalized roles to be instantiated case by case in specific plans.
