The term Emergent organizations (alternatively Emergent organisations) first apeared in insert date and was the topic of the Seventh Annual Washington Evolutionary Systems Conference at University of Ghent, Belgium in May, 1999.

An emergent organization differs from a traditional organization in that its existence spontaneously emerges from and exists in a complex dynamic environment or market place, rather than being a construct or copy of something that already exists.

Emergent organizations and their dynamics are interesting from an ontological perspective: how does such an organization acheive closure and stability?
