chaos theory  

Definition

  • Chaos Theory (CT) is important in organization studies as a potential intellectual resource for “new paradigm” thinking in the field. It describes a heterogenous set of theories and concepts that revalue “chaos” not as the opposite of order but as the source and characteristic of new kinds of order.
