| Abstract
|
:
|
The main topic of this book is the Dynamics and Change in Organizations. An organization is seen as a group of people that do not only share rules of language, customs, and habits, but also participate in the social construction of these rules. Organizational changes and dynamics are characterized by -Problem solving within the context of bounded rationality, and propagation of adaptive patterns of behaviour in evolutionary time; -Communication, existing of the exchange of object signs and norm signs, leading to the perturbation of self-organizing psychic and social systems; -Creation and annihilation of social affordances (social constructs) and the norms attached to them; -Actions, for instance communicative actions, and the creation of information systems and other artefacts; -Creation, change, conversion and transfer of knowledge.
