- Opis:
- The paper presents network theory and complexity theory in the context of organization and management sciences. Both theories today are of great interest among researchers whose purpose is to explain and understand the complexity of the organization's functioning and management through the lens of the network of relationships between the components of a given system. The main idea is to consider the organization as a socio-technical system linked by a network of relationships, interactions, and interdependencies (network theory) and as a self-organizing, complex adaptive system (complexity theory). A narrative review was used to capture the theoretical context, with the possibility of formulating research questions that can lead to further empirical research. The paper indicates the possibilities of interpreting organization and management in terms of these two theories, which until now have not been combined with each other (or in very individual cases), although they have a large, complementary explanatory potential for both organization and management.
