Postmodernism revisited? Complexity science and the study of organisations
Jacco Van Uden, Kurt A Richardson, Paul Cilliers. Tamara : Journal of Critical Postmodern Organization Science. Las Cruces: 2001. Vol. 1, Iss. 3; pg. 53, 15 pgs


Abstract (Article Summary)
Van Uden et al assert that the world is best described as being a complex system, and, through the use of the 'complexity' discourse, students of organizations--organizations being regarded as complex sub-systems of the whole--can benefit from the various complexity science research programs. They argue that complexity theory in this respect is reminiscent of postmodern organization theory.
