1. 1. Complex methods of inquiry: structuring uncertainty

   Författare :PETER BEDNAR; Institutionen för informatik; []
   Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; information system; Contextual Analysis; Contextual Dependencies; Systems Approaches; Systems Thinking; Organizational change; Complex adaptive systems; Uncertainty management; Organizational Emergence; Change Management; Organizational Learning; Human Activity Systems;

   Sammanfattning : Organizational problem spaces can be viewed as complex, uncertain and ambiguous. They can also be understood as open problem spaces. As such, any engagement with them, and any effort to intervene in order to pursue desirable change, cannot be assumed to be just a matter of ‘complicatedness’. LÄS MER

3. 2. Unravelling Sustainability : The complex dynamics of emergent environmental governance and management systems at multiple scales

   Författare :Lucas Dawson; Ingrid Stjernquist; Marine Elbakidze; Raimonds Ernsteins; Stockholms universitet; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Integrated adaptive environmental governance and management; Social-ecological system dynamics; Complex systems; Sustainability transitions; Sustainability strategies; Multi-level governance; Causal loop diagrams; Green Infrastructure; Landscape restoration; Habitat restoration; Biodiversity conservation; Comprehensive planning; Stakeholder participation; System thinking; Water Framework Directive; Sustainable water governance; Collaborative learning; Communities of practice; Knowledge management; Physical Geography; naturgeografi;

   Sammanfattning : This thesis adopts a complex systems approach to investigate the dynamic emergence of sustainable environmental governance and management systems in multiple contexts in Europe. Accelerating rates of environmental degradation across the world have called the legitimacy of previous environmental governance and management arrangements into question. LÄS MER

4. 3. Advancing Resilience Practice : Bridging social-ecological resilience theory and sustainable development practice

   Författare :My M. Sellberg; Garry D. Peterson; Albert V. Norström; Sara Borgström; Dirk Roux; Stockholms universitet; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Complex adaptive systems; Local and regional planning; Resilience thinking; Social-ecological systems; Transdisciplinarity; Sustainability Science; vetenskap om hållbar utveckling;

   Sammanfattning : This thesis investigates the application of resilience thinking in different real-world settings and research-practice interfaces, for example in the context of natural resource management, local government planning and food systems. The number of cases of resilience practice are growing, including resilience assessments, planning and action, but there are still few scientific studies and even less synthesis across cases.

5. 4. Assessment of Application of Participatory Methods for Complex Adaptive Systems  in the Public Sector

   Författare :Maksims Kornevs; Sebastiaan Meijer; Jannicke Baalsrud Hauge; Paul Grogan; KTH; []
   Nyckelord :: participatory methods; complex adaptive system; public sector; change process; assessment; participativa metoder; komplext adaptivt system; offentlig sektor; förändringsprocess; bedömning;

   Sammanfattning : The provision of services by the public sector is the result of a complex adaptive system at work, and involves a large number of stakeholders from different institutions and organisations. In the era of rapid change in requirements and expectations from the public sector, the management of change processes asks for the involvement of many stakeholders from different layers and positions.

7. 5. Adaptive Logistics - Using Complexity Theory to Facilitate Increased Effectiveness in Logistics

   Författare :Fredrik Nilsson; Förpackningslogistik; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; complexity thinking ; epistemology; logistics; logistics systems ; paradigm; Teknik; Technological sciences; complexity theory ;

   Sammanfattning : Logistics is gaining increased attention in companies since interconnectivity is increasing, and the interdependence among actors is enhanced due to challenges organizations are facing today (market changes, novel strategies, and technological improvements). While the logistics discipline has been characterized by an efficiency focus based on positivistic assumptions, the challenges of today require a focus on effectiveness i. LÄS MER
