A Cognitive Approach to Organizational Complexity

Guido Fioretti and Bauke Visser

A chapter in Systemics of Emergence: Research and Development, 2006, pp 495-513 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract Organizational theory has construed complexity as an objective characteristic of either the structure or the behaviour of an organization. We argue that in order to further our understanding complexity should be understood in terms of human cognition of a structure or behaviour. This cognitive twist is illustrated by means of two theoretical approaches, whose relationship is discussed.
