%0 Journal Article %T La organización empresarial como sistema adaptativo complejo %J ESTUDIOS GERENCIALES;Vol. 29 No. 127 %D 2013 %@ 01235923 %U http://www.icesi.edu.co/revistas/index.php/estudios_gerenciales/article/view/1648 %X The purpose of this document is to identify complexity adaptative systems (CAS) characteristics, as well as determining the implications of applying this to the study of organizations. A review was made of the results of investigations published in journals on the introduction of scientific complexity into the administration, as well as the results of research groups and institutes working on this topic. Based on comparative studies of the proposals observed, it is suggested that CASs may be understood from the emergence, self-organization, and evolution of a company. Understanding the organization from this outlook leads to lines of research on leadership, strategy, making decision-making, construction of joint actions, all in complex systems. %K Facultad de Ciencias Administrativas y Económicas %K Producción intelectual registrada - Universidad Icesi %K Estudios Gerenciales %K Emergencias %K Evolución %K Organización empresarial %K Self-organization %K Emergence %K Evolution %~ GOEDOC, SUB GOETTINGEN
