Introduction

The previous sections have discussed the philosophical foundation of Intelligenism and the definition of intelligence, arriving at the following definition through logical deduction: “An intelligent agent, by stacking from the bottom up to form a larger intelligent agent, may achieve a higher intelligence degree, and a higher intelligence degree enables the intelligent agent to better adapt to the external environment and acquire more resources for survival.” In traditional commercial organizations, the organizational structure enables individuals to engage in more specialized and segmented work, achieving greater economies of scale. This, in turn, allows the average output per individual within the organization to surpass that of individuals acting independently outside the organization. By combining the concept of a higher intelligence degree under Intelligenism with the economies of scale in traditional commercial organizations, the concept of the Intelligent Consortium is proposed here. I refer to the organizational form based on the concept of Intelligenism as the Intelligent Consortium, aiming to create a new type of commercial organization that not only achieves the economies of scale found in traditional commercial organizations but also possesses a higher degree of organizational intelligence compared to traditional top-down commercial organizations. From this chapter onward, a detailed discussion of the Intelligent Consortium organization will be provided, covering its foundational settings and construction process.

The chapter “Organization Setting of Intelligenism” primarily introduces the organizational settings of the Intelligent Consortium under the concept of Intelligenism, in coherence with the theories presented in the chapters “Philosophical Foundation of Intelligenism” and “On Intelligence.” As the foundational setting for constructing the Intelligent Consortium, this chapter enables readers to more easily understand the principles and logic behind the settings when reading about the Intelligent Consortium. It also provides the most fundamental theoretical basis for future practitioners of organizational construction.

As indicated by the chapter title “Organization Setting of Intelligenism,” the following settings (definitions) of the organization refer solely to the foundational settings of the Intelligent Consortium under the concept of Intelligenism. Different theories and organizational forms inevitably have different foundational settings and theoretical bases. The definitions and discussions in this chapter do not negate the value of other perspectives outside the scope of this book’s theory, nor do they claim that other perspectives or theories will necessarily be replaced by this theory. The content of this chapter and subsequent chapters adheres to the concept of Theoretical Adaptability proposed in “Philosophical Foundation of Intelligenism,” focusing only on specific scenarios to which this book’s theory and the Intelligent Consortium are applicable.
