Summary/Abstract: In the past, traditional organizations were based on a hierarchy and decision-making was in the hands of those who were ranked higher on a hierarchical scale. As a result of globalization and a changing environment, modern organizations nowadays face several different situations, and therefore they become much more flattened. In every organization, it is most important to know who a decision-maker is and who has the highest authority. On the other hand, nature offers examples of organizations of other living beings that are effective and work without control, without leaders or instructions, yet everyone in this organization knows what to do. Our main interest in this article was how is it possible that nature and the animal world survive without leadership and control, yet they still survive in the world of great natural selection. Here are some ways in which bionics can be used to improve the organizational structure of the Dorssen company: • Using biological networks to design organizational structures: Similar to how organisms adapt to changes in their environment, the Dorssen company can use a similar approach to design its organizational structure. • Using natural materials for work, such as wood, stones, plants, etc., can improve the work environment and promote creativity and productivity among employees. • Using natural forms in the design of workspaces, such as circles, spirals, and curvy lines can improve the visual aesthetics and create a more natural work environment. • Using biological processes to improve the efficiency of company operations, such as photosynthesis or the biological cycle can serve as models for improving the efficiency of business processes, such as production, supply, and inventory management. • Using a "bottom-up" approach: Similar to how smaller units are responsible for the functioning of the entire system in nature, the Dorssen company can improve its organizational structure by giving more responsibility to smaller working groups. This promotes innovation and independence among all employees. The leadership of the Dorssen company sets an example for its employees with its actions and decisions. This fosters respect and trust among employees and creates a positive work environment. The methods used by living beings to conquer a new living environment by developing new abilities can become a model in human society to build a consistent and dynamic expertise for innovation in enterprises. For many years, the study has been studying the efficiency and working efficiency of insects such as ants and bees. In this article, we focused on the fascinating world and the life of the ants.
