Applying Complexity Theory to an IT Organization
In the article, “Complexity Theories and Organizational Change,” Burnes (2005) describes complexity theory as an umbrella for a range of underlying constructs. Each of them seems to be relevant to an IT leader in applying organizational theory to the practice at hand—to create an effective IT organization that reflects the leader’s values. However, given the broad nature and a large number of organizational constructs within complexity theory, it may seem like a catch-all category for a disjointed set of theories. That would seem to make them impractical at best, useless at worst.
Use the Burnes article and the Hannan and Freeman article on inertia to compare different approaches related to implementing change in an IT organization.
