Complex adaptive systems as metaphors for organizational management
Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to explore the concept of complex adaptive systems (CAS) from the perspective of managing organizations, to describe and explore the management principles in a case study of an organization with unconventional ways of management and to present a tentative model for managing organizations as CAS – system management. There is a need for the development of kn...
متن کاملKnowledge Management as Complex Adaptive Systems
A knowledge management system is a complex system with an infrastructure comprising of strategies, technologies, structure, leadership and culture. On top of the infrastructure, knowledge is managed through a set of processes that deals with the acquisition, assimilation, dissemination and protection of knowledge The complexity of the system comes from the difficulty of attributing success or f...
متن کاملData Infrastructures for Asset Management Viewed as Complex Adaptive Systems
Data infrastructures represent information about physical reality. As reality changes, data infrastructures might also be subject to change. Researchers have increasingly approached physical infrastructures as being complex adaptive systems (CAS). Although physical infrastructures are often approached as CAS, the underlying data infrastructures hardly are. Studying data infrastructures as CAS h...
متن کاملDesigning quality management systems as complex adaptive systems
Complex adaptive systems research adds to the theory of how to design systems that are resilient to change in turbulent environments. This paper reports a case story about using complex adaptive systems theory for designing a quality management system in a politically turbulent organization. The story explains how the quality management system evolved rapidly, exploiting the turbulence of the o...
متن کاملCellular Automata: Wolfram’s Metaphors for Complex Systems
In the late 1940’s while he was trying to construct a model for self-reproduction, a machine equivalent to biological systems, von Neumann invented a class of discrete mathematical systems called cellular automata [1]. Almost thirty years after the invention cellular automata underwent a radical reformation when, in the early 1980’s, Wolfram considered them as general mathematical representatio...
