Örgütlerin geleceğine
ilişkin örgüt teorisi tartışmaları özellikle Postmodern yaklaşımlar ve
önermelerle birlikte birçok yeni sorunun doğmasına neden olmuştur. Bu bağlamda
örgütlerin geleceğine ilişkin nasıl bir modelin çözüm sağlayacağı, artan
belirsizliklere karşın yöneticilerin hangi örgütlenme modelleri üzerinden
rekabeti yöneteceği ve etkili örgütlenme yerine uyumlu örgütlenme tartışmaları
anlamlı hale gelmiştir. Böylece çözüm ile sorun arasındaki bağın doğrusal olup
olmamasından çok belirsizliğin niteliği ve karmaşası önemli hale gelmektedir.
Kaos, bu sürecin çözümü için öğrenilmesi gereken bir önerme, yaklaşım olarak
ele alındığında örgüt teorisinin geleceğine ilişkin önemli bir açılımdır.
Çalışmada teorik bir örgüt tartışmasının yanı sıra bunun uygulama karşılığı
dikkate alınarak kaos ve örgüt ilişkisi ele alınmaya çalışılmıştır. İlkeler,
yapı ve süreç olarak kaos teorisinin nasıl bir değerlendirme içerisinde
öğrenilmesi gerektiği, örgütlerin de bir öğrenme odağı olarak kaos ile nasıl
bir ilişki kurması gerektiği tabanında tartışılmıştır.
