Kopp, “<i>Parasitism as an Abstraction for Organisational Dysfunctions,</i>” in Lean Systems Society Reactor Conference, Boulder, Colorado, Aug 2013, pp. 1–1. </p><p dir="ltr">Biological abstractions of parasitic and parasitoid predation upon organisms are demonstrably a very useful model for the study, forensic analysis, and recovery from some frequently seen types of organizational dysfunction. Future research presents opportunities to refine modeling, forensic techniques, and develop a robust and detailed methodology for recovering organizations, damaged by the destructive effects of this type of organizational dysfunction. </p>
