Abstract:  From the routine perspective, the issue of enterprise capability evolution is discussed. This problem is described by an evolutionary model based on evolutionary game theory. With this model, a multiagent simulation system is developed based on the Swarm platform. By simulation, the capability evolution process of an enterprise is analyzed. Results show that enterprise capability evolution is a process of the enterprises learning and variation. While the process of adaptive routine learning is a gradual process of enterprise capability evolution, the process of routine variation is the mutant evolution of enterprise capability.
