The main objective of this work is to use system dynamics to contrast two alternative visions of the organizational world. According to the first, mature organizations wield increasing power defense of their dominant positions. The implication of this view is that age and experience protect organizations from failure. According to second, old organizations became increasingly vulnerable to challenge by innovative newcomers. The implication of this view that with age and experience organizations become obsolete by progressively losing responsiveness and ability to take advantage of new market opportunities.
