    Using chaos theory as a framework to explain the nature of complexity in contemporary organizations
    (Universidad de Cuenca, 2016-01) Llora, Miguel; Cordero, Juan Francisco
    Findings: The article makes three main claims: 1) being a member of a business organization is a result of a social choice (choice of a system), rather than an individual choice, 2) organizations are unstable entities, and dependence among organizational members results in organizational members working as a group, and 3) changes in internal and external environments make strategies irrational and irreversible. Organizations exist as long as individuals in organizations move forward by choosing the safest way. Originality: This article provides an alternative perspective to understand contemporary business organizations. As opposed to verbally defining organizations, a context is suggested to understand complexities in organizations. Moreover, this study adds to the growing body of literature that uses films to understand contemporary organizations.
