Abstract: The article reports on the significance of slime mold tool to survive, thrive and doing great work in business despite of the tougher economy in the U.S. It states that slime mold can maintain a constant conversation between the organism and the environment, have a clear set of roles and behaviors in times of change and foster behaviors that promote healthy and rich environments. It infers that slime mold can emulate self-determination and has the ability to sense and signal the state environment to other amoebas. In addition, it is a multi-cellular organism working together with differentiated parts and roles which focused on escape and survival.
