Evolution analysis on improving academic creativity with small world organizational structure in university

Abstract

This paper studied the dynamic evolution of academic creativity in university based on small world model. The academic creativity system comprises the researchers and the patterns in which they are organized. The interaction among those people yields the so-called academic creativity power. The design for a scientific and rational organization can enhance the academic creativity. The influence matrix theory based on NK model is adopted to describe the small world structure of the academic creativity system in university where N is the number of components in the system and K refers to the degree of interaction between components. The extremal dynamics in self-organized theory is used as the evolution mechanism. Finally, simulated evolution is conducted which demonstrate that the result of extreme dynamics evolution of the system is independent on the organizational topology structure if both N and K are fixed, while it is strongly dependent on K if only N is fixed.
