摘要：

This article presents an overview of the development and components of complexity theory and its application to human systems. Implications for managing organizations derived from complexity science are also delineated. Examples of planned structural and cultural changes in a communications company are described and analyzed from a complexity perspective. Finally, the current status and future implications of applying complexity theory as a paradigm for managing contemporary organizations are addressed.
