Complexity science refers to the study of adaptive systems, those
that can absorb information, learn and then evolve in response to
environmental changes. It is a model which charts the movement from
chaos to order, and can be used to improve our understanding of how
business organizations develop according to the cultural and
economic pressures that they work within.
Complexity, Management and the Dynamics of Change succeeds in
making the main tenets of complexity science accessible to students
of business and management. It illustrates how different kinds of
organizations can become more effective, democratic and sustainable
by using knowledge of complexity science principles. Understanding
complexity can help managers cope more effectively with the waves
of uncertainty and change that the twenty first century is sure to
bring, and that these concepts are of more than metaphorical value
to organizations.
Using key case studies to illustrate the powerful applicability
of these ideas, this book is an important introduction to the role
of complexity science in the organizational context. It will prove
fascinating reading for students and practicing managers alike.
