Abstract
BOHORQUEZ AREVALO, Luz Esperanza. The absence of response of organizations to changing business environment conditions: a complex management problem. Pensam. gest. [online]. 2016, n.41, pp.13-35. ISSN 1657-6276.
ABSTRACT This paper argues that the inflexibility, weakness and slowness of business organizations to respond to changing environmental conditions arise from the mismanagement of the complexity that characterizes the dominant paradigm of management. The traditional administration seeks to reduce the complexity of a system that permanently increases. In the article are featured characteristics of the dominant administration paradigm, and the criticisms that have been made by different authors towards the lack of response from the traditional administration.
Keywords : Complexity; dominant paradigm of management; linear; hierarchical control; functionalist approach; failures of management.
