A Fisheries Swarm Intelligence Model Theoretically Directed Toward Small to Mid-Size Enterprise (SME) Sustainability

Abstract

As fish survival is dependent upon energy expended to avoid predation so are the strategies of small to mid-size enterprises (SMEs) directed toward avoiding the “big-fish” takeover. Transitioning natural science environmental decision-making to models for business organizational operations utilizing swarm intelligence may lead to improving sustainability of SMEs. This work proceeds from recognition of swarm intelligence theory to an application of fuzzy rough set theory in optimal spatial locations for artificial reefs, suggesting that similarly natural ecosystems can be applied to SME location decisions.
