Books on Managing Chaotic Systems
I have read a lot of descriptions, definitions of chaotic (complex) systems. However I have not seen in the literature any proposition on how to manage or control or cope with (undesirable) chaotic sy...
Chaos Theory in Relationships

Chaos Theory and the Future
Every choice you make whether it is to drink a cup of coffee or drive to the supermarket, you are creating a reality, you are creating a chain. You choose what happens to you. If you could learn how t...
Ways to Deal with Chaotic Systems
We are increasingly unable to predict "infinite conditions with infinite accuracy." So we have two choices:
One, we can SIMPLIFY THE SYSTEM WE MANAGE, and try to close it off from the complexities of...
Lord Buddha on Chaos...
All things appear and disappear because of the concurrence of causes and conditions. Nothing ever exists entirely alone; everything is in relation to everything else....
Is Chaos So Chaotic?
The French mathematician Poincarre demonstrated Chaos Theory by plotting the orbit of the Earth round the Sun. He imagined a huge card at right angles to the Earth's orbit and calculated the holes pun...
Strategies in Chaos? Consider Goldratt's Thinking Processes
The theory of constraints thinking processes of E. Goldratt are effective generic tools useful in both normal and chaotic situations.
- Goldratt's current reality tree diagnoses the core conflicts a...
Chaos Theory and Organisational Structure
The number of structures (rules and regulations) determines the performance of organizations inversely; organizational structure is determined by by external factors.
For instance, in a complex envir...
Why does Chaos Improve Evolutionary Algorithms?
I have presented an evolutionary algorithm using chaos theory (chaotic numbers) to solve an optimization problem. The results of the experiments show that this algorithm is much better than the same e...
Oneness Model and Principles
What if we choose the Oneness Model instead of the Chaos Model
These are the principles of the Oneness Model:
1. Everything is linked to others.
2. All things belong to a bigger one.
3. All the u...
The Initial Conditions Used by Lorenz
I need the initial conditions used by Lorenz, and an explanation why he used those.
In Chaos Theory, we consider the equations system from Lorenz enunciate, and we don't know why he used them, but in...

High Performance Teams
Based on chaos theory, Dr. Marcial Losada has developed a method to improve High Performance Teams and has established the "Losada Line" using non linear mathematics. The results are much more efectiv...
Forces Creating Internal and External Chaos
Note that not only the circumstances INSIDE the firm can be chaotic, but also its ENVIRONMENT, and even the RELATIONSHIPS between markets and organizations can be nonlinear.

Keep your Eye on the Big Picture
To a water molecule, whether in a glass of water or in a raging river, everything appears random and chaotic.
Thus, the only prudent way to lead, is to never, ever, lose sight of the big picture....
Relevance and Implications of Chaos Theory for Strategy (Levy)
Industries are complex, dynamic and nonlinear systems, in which interdependence occurs between firms, as well as between firms and other actors in the same environment such as consumers, the governmen...
Using Chaos Theory to Achieve a Desired Outcome
How does one start using chaos theory to achieve a desired outcome? I can think of using an attractor for defining the result and I can use a force field diagram to describe the change I want.
