The organization-company: a living system? Contributions from the Theory of Complexity and the Environmental Philosophy to the Organizational and Business Administration Theories
Abstract
Rev.esc.adm.neg
The concept of organization-company as a living, dynamic, and chaordic system, conformed and managed by a body of living symbolic beings, results from wondering about the contributions that are made by the Theory of Complexity and the Environmental Philosophy to the Organizational and Business Administration Theories; that is, by questioning the possibility of reconfiguring administrative logistics, which are undergoing a serious crisis, originating from an epistemic environmental complex perspective or even from the need to understand what managing living organizational systems means. In other words, this research emerges as a proposal to understand the organizational administrative phenomenon in the current times of organizational partnership and environmental crisis, meaning that it is all about understanding the social organization-taxis type as a social living entity that determines its connections with the social context, thus affecting the development of processes and operations.
The vitality of these organizations originates from their informal networks, their organizational culture, from the possibility of easing their structures and processes, and from their referential closure.
This paper describes two working routes. The first one focuses on understanding the relationship between current civilization problems and the institutionalization of the classical business administration thought in society. The second one endeavors to make a contribution to the epistemological reflections on the Organizational Business Administration Theories from the perspectives of the Theory of Complexity and Chaos, and the Environmental Philosophy.
