Organizations and Complex Adaptive Systems delve into the realm of complexity theory within the context of organizational studies, exploring the applicability of complex adaptive systems principles at both intraorganizational and interorganizational levels. Complex adaptive systems, a subject of extensive study across various scientific disciplines, have not been widely observed in real-world scenarios within social sciences, unlike the abundance of theories and propositions available. While the complex adaptive systems perspective is typically presented in quantitative terms in natural sciences, it has been comparatively less utilized in social sciences. This book serves as a bridge, connecting the fundamentals of complex adaptive systems to social sciences, with a particular focus on organizational studies. It encompasses interorganizational, organizational, and individual levels, providing a comprehensive overview of the current state of knowledge on the topic. This book is of interest to researchers, academics, managers, and students alike, specializing in management, organizational theory and behavior, and strategic management.
