Written with pace and clarity, this book is a comprehensive and
compact overview and introduction to the research landscape of
complexity in organizations. In addition to conveying a gripping
history of how complexity has influenced organizational ideas,
theories, and practices throughout the 20th century and into our
present age, the book sheds light on how ground-breaking ideas in
chaos and complexity research have emerged and challenged the very
foundations of science into a changed vision of nature, society, and
human organizations. As well as being an exciting investigation into
complexity research in organizations, the book shows how, in the past,
researchers who were immersed in the power politics of their day
grappled with the theme of complexity in their quest to understand the
dynamics of organization in nature and society. By welding fundamental
theoretical themes and practical implications into the political and
social contexts in which they emerged, this overview provides both
depth and breadth to the history, as well as the future, of studies of
complexity in organized activity. The book is a lucid and essential
study of a topic that will be of interest to scholars, researchers,
and students in the fields of business and management, especially
those with an interest in the ways that complexity affects and
transforms organizations.
