“…Sustainability discourse analysis [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9] and the review of the role of the organizational reflex [16,17] allowed the theoretical modeling of a system that examines the basics of information received from the global environment in the company. This finding led to the development of a concept describing the ability of a company to maintain its competitiveness in the long term and to secure its longevity.…”

“…Organizational reflex analysis revealed that companies, like humans, form their reflex, which is needed to operate effectively and timely to respond to signals incoming from the outer environment. Previous studies [16,17] show that companies form their reflexes based on the inner interaction of human recourses. In a company, the interaction between human resources replicates the human reflex arc, which can be explained by the biological theory of organization [19][20][21].…”

The organizational reflex in relation to the company is considered to be an instinctive reaction of its employees to an external stimulus that has arisen or, in other words, the ability of the employee to spontaneously generate a competitive response of the company based on the information received from the global environment. It is an intentional algorithm that enables employees to know how and when to react as quickly as possible, according to the signal from the global environment received, within the limits of their area of expertise. This response phenomenon comes forth in the context of the functioning of a sustainable organization and highlights the coherence of the performance of a human resource. In order to maintain its competitiveness, each organization learns to react to the ongoing changes in the dynamic environment as quickly as possible and, in this process, develops action algorithms similar to human reflexes in structure. Modern science makes a great contribution to the longevity of the company by creating activity models for the organization and performing simulations in the digital space. In this paper, the simulation model of a company’s competitive human resource response to global changes, which is used for the description of organizational reflex, is present. The model reflects the human reflex arc in a company’s decision-making process, whose effectiveness depends on the coherence of its human resources and its ability to sustain an effective organizational reflex. The purpose of the developed model is to simulate the employee’s response to the signals incoming from the global environment and to describe the development process of the organizational reflex that is leading to the longevity of the company and the sustainability of its market leadership.

“…Organizations are characterized by this feature as well. Being composed of people, they inherit organizational reflexes through human resources from individuals and on the basis of them form their own organizational reflexes, which ensures a more effective adaptation and functioning in changing conditions [6]. This increases the resilience of the organization and ensures sustainability.…”

The study of the partnership organization mechanism (POM) aims to answer the question of how an organization manages the mechanical operation of the partnership and how the partnership system shapes itself in order to achieve a fairer balance across all junctions of the POM, through shafts connected into a single mechanism. The study has led to a deeper understanding of the empirical operation of the POM and has led to the identification of 20 POM configuration principles, the harmonization of which, in accordance with the principle of coherence, enables sustainability to be achieved and managed. The study is exploratory and therefore empirical facts supporting theoretical insights were sought. The information database of the study consists of 5-year observation data of Lithuanian local action groups, exploratory survey data and in-depth interviews for verification of the phenomenon. The empirical study allowed us to verify the theoretical operation of the POM and helped us to determine the content and purpose of the relationships between different groups of stakeholders in the region. A total of 10 POM empirical models have been detected, which confirmed the fundamental thesis of the study that sustainability can be managed by ensuring the harmonious operation of the system and by controlling the level of system coherence.

This article presents a framework that informs about routine and creative decision-making and management practices within an organization. The primary focus of the study is on the preparedness of human resources within the organization to effectively respond to information from the global environment and ensure optimal decision-making. Analysis of human resource management discourse, a review of biological organization theory, and a detailed examination of reflex arc theory using elements of human body analogy such as neurons, allowed us to model a system that examines the basis of decision-making of information coming from the global environment in an organization, and the conducted research allowed to discover how to improve organizational abilities to respond to external stimuli. Theoretical modeling techniques revealed connections between the organization and various systems, and computer simulation allowed to examine these connections in different situations using Spyder (Python 3.8 environment based on SciPy, NumPy, etc.), with all the necessary functions to perform calculations and visualize the results. In order to gain a deeper understanding of decision-making in the organization, a model has been developed that is able to effectively make a decision from the perspective of the organization’s biological approach. A computer simulation conducted in the course of the study indicated: (1) that according to the interests of the organization the model selected (20%) of information of interest, from which, according to the ability of the created model, (95%) was directed to form a routine response and (5%) was directed to a creative response; (2) the time efficiency of the routine response may be more effective than that of the creative response from (63.6%) to (90.7%); (3) the efficiency of the realistic scenario of the model’s performance is inferior (about 21%) than that of the optimistic scenario, but more effective (about 17%) than that of the pessimistic scenario, this means that the realistic scenario works better than predicted in the pessimistic scenario, making it positive for the suitability of the model. These findings provide valuable insights into an organization’s ability to respond quickly and make decisions in a competitive environment, which may have practical implications for organization management and strategies to improve the ability to respond to external factors.
