RenDanHeYi Micro-Enterprise Model
Breaking large organizations into thousands of semi-autonomous micro-enterprises with direct market exposure and P&L responsibility - the siphonophore approach to scaling without bureaucracy.
Colonial organisms like siphonophores demonstrate how specialized individual units can form a functioning superorganism. Each zooid performs a specific function (feeding, reproduction, locomotion, defense) while sharing resources through connected tissue. No central brain directs behavior - coordination emerges from chemical signaling between units. The colony acts as a single organism ecologically, but structurally it's thousands of semi-autonomous individuals.
