That's not really emergent behaviour. eg the decision making of an organisation is simply the decision making of it's personnel.
Complex organisations can self-organise even though the individual parts have little understanding of their position in the structure.
A better simile would be societies at large, and the changes in things like housing markets or stock markets, driven by individuals who are only guided by their own private interests, not those of the market as a whole.

This is also true for animals, including humans. Most of our decisions are made by micro-organisms in our gut, by our microbiome. There are other decision-making centers as well. The self is not even aware in most cases that he/she is just applying a decision that was made for him internally.
