(1) The Principle of Social Selection of Social Organization

Major premise: the condition that any kind of social organization can survive is that the rate of reproduction of this social organization is greater than or equal to the rate of death;

Minor premise: There is imitable variation between social organizations; Some variations make social organizations reproduce faster than others, which is called having greater reproductive capacity; Some variants cause organizations to eliminate at a slower rate than others, which is called having greater survival capacity. The variations with greater reproductive ability and greater survival ability are the superior variations, and the opposite variations are the inferior variations.

Conclusion: The inferior variation of social organization is easy to be eliminated, and the superior variation of social organization is easy to survive and pass on to other organizations.

If big enterprises fail faster than they are born (for example, if the government cracks down on monopolies). After a certain period of time, there will be no big enterprises in society; If the rate of bankruptcy of small enterprises is greater than the formation rate of new enterprises, after a period of time, there will be no small enterprises in the society, and it will become a pure monopoly economy. Other organizations also have the rate of reproduction or death, including literary and technological groups, trade unions, charities, hospitals, schools, and so on. Each kind of organization can be divided into many kinds, for example, schools can be divided into universities, secondary schools, primary schools, public and private schools, as well as a variety of new educational institutions. The condition of any organization to survive is that the rate of reproduction is greater than or equal to the rate of death.

The reproduction of government is the process from the spread of political ideas to the emergence of new governments. Many new regimes will appear when the world is in chaos. Sometimes regimes die. If the death rate of the regimes is greater than the rate of birth, after a period of time there will be no government in society, and the phenomenon of power vacuum has often appeared in history.

When there is a power vacuum, the speed of the emergence of new regimes will be accelerated, so there cannot be a long-term power vacuum. Political history is mainly the history of the continuous emergence and death of regimes. There are now more than 200 governments in the world, and they are all survivors, that is a state in which the emergence and death of regimes have maintained an equal and stable rate at a certain stage. In the process of election, many small parties will appear, and after a period of development, these small parties will gradually conbine or dissolve. If the speed of extinction is greater than the speed to emerge, several large parties will take turns to govern the situation.

The surviving organizations have many advantages variations, which mainly refer to advanced management methods, including development strategy, operation mode, organizational culture, organizational system, etc. The variation of organizations mainly refers to the variation of organizational management theories. For example, there are new educational theories and new training directions in schools, new art forms, new ways of communication, new means of fund-raising in literary and art groups, and new ruling ideas put forward or accepted by governments. The emergence of some new management theory often leads to the emergence of a large number of new organizations, which is the reproductive superiority. At the same time, many new management theories can also make organizations improve themselves, enhance their ability to resist risks, which is the survival superiority. The imitation of organization includes direct imitation by language or demonstration, but much more imitations are theoretical imitations which are based on the medium of words and symbols, write and read books or articles, and so on.
