Released v2.4.0. % Domain : Management (Organisation Theory) % Problem : Conditions for increasing then decreasing hazard of mortality % Version : [Han98] axioms. % English : If environmental drift destroys alignment before advantage can % be gained from occupancy of a robust position, then the hazard % of mortality for an unendowed organization with a robust % position initially increases with age, then decreases with % further aging and falls below the initial level. % Refs : [Kam00] Kamps (2000), Email to G.
