Nowadays, the term atlas refers to ¡°a book of maps or charts¡± (1). In this paper, the term is used in both senses. On the one hand, the purpose is to understand the conditions favoring ¨C hold up ¨C the birth and the evolution of exponential organizations. On the other hand, the goal is to draw a concept map that allows us to identify the interactional dynamics among the actors involved in this evaluative process.£¿ In other words, first I'll try to know who ¡°holds up the sky¡± (static interpretation), and then we will see who ¡°lives in it¡± (moving interpretation). The idea is that disruptive innovation mediates the relationship between environmental/organizational features (conditions) and exponential growth (phenomenon). So far, little consideration has been given to the favorable conditions that can allow organizations to become exponential. This paper£¿ aims to pave the way for future systematized research on the ExO¡¯s genesis and development %U http://www.ccsenet.org/journal/index.php/ijbm/article/view/0/38780
