Chaos, Complexity, and Sustainability in Management

Engineering (R0)

Rob Dekkers

Applied Systems Theory

Regions and Cities

Turbulence characterises the current global scene. This book uses complementary theoretical approaches to understand and help prescribe policies to 're-frame' the regional development problem in turbulent times. These approaches are: evolutionary complexity; evolutionary economic geography; emergence theory; and resilience theory. From below, they address the four major crises creating a 'perfect storm' for societies and economics involving: the climate change crisis; the energy crisis; the banking and financial crisis; and the global economic crisis.



This book analyses and proposes ways in which regional economies, in particular, are having to be 'reframed' to address these crises. First, many must evolve in new ways, possibly moving back from the 'service economy' towards a new, greener form of manufacturing of goods as well as services. Accordingly, regional economies are innovating in new ways. Amongst these are the quest for 'relatedness' within their own regional orbits, and promoting 'modularity' as a mode of analysis and a policy stance to stimulate innovation across industry and geographical borders.



Finally, regional economies and societies are discovering that, from a 'resilience' perspective, they must find answers to the higher levels of governance with which they increasingly struggle. In this respect regional economies are in 'transition' and regional processes are 'emergent'. The transition seeks to address the four crises, involving re-balancing, re-directing and re-framing future policy and practice. This book describes many of the novel 'framings' involved in understanding the new ways in which this major task is being addressed in theory, policy and everyday practice.

Re-framing Regional Development

The Earthscan Science in Society Series

This is the first book to theorise geoengineering in terms of complex adaptive systems theory and to argue for the theoretical imperative of adaptive management as the default methodology for an effective low risk means of confronting the inescapable uncertainty and surprise that characterise potential climate futures.

Systems Thinking for Geoengineering Policy

For more than a century, management has been taught and practised as if companies were machines and business success a function of correct formulas. We built a managerial religion endowed with sacred terms like strategy, engagement, and competitive advantage-and we convinced ourselves that, with enough analysis and control, outcomes would follow intention. Yet step into any company and reality feels very different. Strategies fail despite knowledge, rationality, and coherence. Engagement programmes flourish while paradoxically causing fundamental harm to employee well-being. Unpredictability seeps into every plan. And success often appears not because of any clean causal design, but in spite of it. Drawing on various disciplines-physics, complexity science, social sciences, history, management, computation-and the author's own experience, the central argument of this book is simple, though uncomfortable: Modern management is built on the wrong epistemological foundations.You'll discover why managers cling to coherent narratives that don't reflect reality, why conventional practices mislead more than they guide, why success cannot be designed, and why survival and variation drive eventually success.

Why Conventional Management Fails - And What Really Works in a Complex World

The Myth of Management

This book draws on a wide selection of interdisciplinary literature discussing complex adaptive systems, to apply general complexity tenets to the institutions, conceptual framework, and theoretical justifications of the copyright system, both in the United States and internationally. The author argues that designers of copyright regimes should look to complexity theory for guidance, and that copyright law must tolerate chaotic elements that may be essential to the sustainability of complex systems.

The book provides guidance to leaders on how to accomplish a paradigm shift away from blanket solutions toward deliberate problem solving. The authors demonstrate how the practice of deliberate problem solving helps build the culture of trust and respect, boost employee engagement and achieve operational excellence in serving the customer.

Routledge Studies in Innovation, Organizations and Technology

Management in the Age of Digital Business Complexity focuses on how the digital age is changing management and vastly speeding up complexity dynamics. 

The recent coevolution of technologies has dramatically changed in just a few years how people and firms learn, communicate, and behave. Consequently, the process of how firms coevolve and the speed at which they coevolve has been dramatically changed in the digital age, and managerial methods are lagging way behind. Combining his own expertise with that of a number of specialist and international co-authors, McKelvey conveys how companies that fall behind digitally can quickly be driven out of business. 

The book has been created for academics seeking to upgrade management thinking into the modern digital age and vastly improve the change capabilities of firms facing digital-oriented competition.

Routledge Research in International Environmental Law

The ecosystem approach embodies a concept of the environment which emphasizes the integrated components of nature as complex adaptive systems. This book examines the relationship between the architecture and design of environmental law and the implementation of the ecosystem approach as a means to maintain ecological integrity.
