DOES FLAPPING OF A BUTTERFLY IN AMAZON FORESTS CAN CAUSE A STORM IN USA? CHAOS THEORY AND A DISCUSSION IN ACCORDANCE WITH BUTTERFLY EFFECT

Abstract

Some words, which are basic cues of determining actors of current time-like globalization and information age-, change, speed, competition, and diversity became nearly catchwords. All the world, have been grazing from the limited perception of history about place and time and have been facing the fact that the future is changing totally in different axis. This orbit has different coordinates,tools and methods and it is unavoidable. Likewise, basic dynamics of information age are not being able to explain with the paradigms of industrial age. In whole world, new coordinates of information age which guide a new era so ist paradigm- is becoming chaos theory, its captains are becoming different leaders of different geographies. “Butterfly Effect”, another concept , which is related to “Chos Theory”of Edward N. Lorenz, can define as small changes in initial datas in a system can cause big and unknown results. Globalization and information age make butterfly effect common. In this study, from the point of “ A butterfly’s flapping in Amazon Forest can cause a storm in USA” view, possible effects of chaos theory and butterfly effect to social life and to organizations will be evaluated.,In the first part of this research will explained chaos theory ,in the the second part will mentioned from dominant metaphors in the past and future organizations ,in the third part will analyzed model of chaos management organization

Keywords
