In this paper, we explore the historical development of the organizationof the Japanese cotton spinning industry, from an evolutionaryperspective. We focus on how "fitness" factors, namely, exit (death)rate, entry (birth) rate, growth rate and conversion rate of cottonspinning firms worked for the change in the share of those firms whichintegrated a spinning process and a weaving process. The former threefactors represent the mechanism of "natural selection," which is incommon with the biological evolution, while the latter factor represents"imitation," which is not observed in the biological evolution. It wasfound that entries of new firms greatly contributed to the emergence ofa new organizational form, and after the early stage, other fitnessfactors began to work. Then in the final stage, the contribution ofimitation became dominant.
