th century having influence on science, technology
and economics among others. Any complex systems, such as
organisms, societies, stock market or the Internet, have emergent
properties that cannot be reduced to the mere properties of their
parts. The theory has been used in organizational studies and
strategic management where it offers an alternative way to look

Instead, the theory underlines understanding on how organizations
adapt to their environments. Complexity theory suggests that
organizations tend to self-organize themselves to a state where
they regulate themselves. Complexity theory would advocate for
approaches that focus on flatter, more flexible organizations. It
shifts focus from management control to self-organization and
individual interrelations between different people.
