This thesis explores self-organisation in SMEs, and has developed a framework for the role of self-organisation in the handling of adaptive challenge by enterprises, based on existing theory and the empirical findings of this study. Analysing self-organisation in three Australian SMEs, a quantitative measure of the ability to self-organise (ASO index) is proposed, with communication as the main driver of self organisation. The efficacy of the ASO index scores for the SMEs is substantiated by empirical evidence of self-organisation.
