چکیده
If organisations are seen as complex evolving systems, co-evolving within a social ‘ecosystem’, then our thinking about strategy and management changes. With the changed perspective comes a different way of acting and relating which could lead to a different way of working. In turn, the new types of relationship and approaches to work could well provide the conditions for the emergence of new organisational forms.

Complexity Theory and the Diffusion of Innovations
In recent years, complexity theory has been shown to throw light on a number of issues related to the management of organizations. Examples include the use of complexity notions to help understand situations such as mergers and acquisitions and assist in the successful facilitation of these events by suggesting appropriate enabling infrastructures (Mitleton-Kelly 2004). Complexity theory has si...
متن کاملComplex Systems and Evolutionary Perspectives of Organisations: the Application of Complexity Theory to Organisations
If organisations are seen as complex evolving systems, co-evolving within a social ‘ecosystem’, then our thinking about strategy and management changes. With the changed perspective comes a different way of acting and relating and this inevitably results in different ways of working. In turn, the new types of relationship and approaches to work will provide the conditions for the emergence of n...
متن کاملWORLD FUTURES A Complexity Approach to Co-creating an Innovative Environment
The distinguishing characteristic of complex co-evolving systems is their ability to create new order. In human systems this may take the form of new ways of working or relating, new ideas for products, procedures, artefacts, or even the creation of a different culture or a new organisational form. The paper will explore the creation of new order using the principles of complexity and the conce...
متن کاملAnalysis of Beliefs of Survivors of the 7/7 London Bombings: Application of a Formal Model for Contagion of Mental States
During emergency scenarios, the large number of possible influences inter se between cognitive and affective states of the individuals involved makes it difficult to analyse their (collective) behaviour. To study the behaviour of collectives of individuals during emergencies, this paper proposes a methodology based on formalisation of empirical transcripts and agent-based simulation, and applie...
متن کاملEMERGENT ORDER IN FIRMS: COMPLEXITY SCIENCE vs. THE ENTANGLEMENT TRAP [Published in Complex Systems and Evolutionary Perspectives of Organizations: Applications of Complexity Theory to Organizations,
Quantum theory concepts of correlated history and decoherence explain the emergence of structure (coarse-graining) out of fine-grained entanglement fields. Entanglement occurs when each quanta is somewhat correlated, over time, with all other quanta. Entanglement ties are proposed as alternatives to sociologists’ weak and strong ties. Entanglement fields provide neutral starting points for effi...
