BOHORQUEZ, L. E.. Design of a self-organization model for solving crises in business organizations. Entre Ciencia e Ingenieria [online]. 2017, vol.11, n.21, pp.14-21. ISSN 1909-8367.

Business crises situations are to be expected due to the high level of interdependent systems that characterize the environment. The mainstream of thought for business management has focused on preventing crises from identifying causal relationships between system variables; but to date it has not produced the expected results. The sciences of complexity have proposed that the best alternative to overcome the crisis is the adaptability of the system through self-organization; however, the business context research is in early stages and there are no models and/or empirical evidences to corroborate the strength of these ideas. The article proposes the design of a model for self-organization business in order to overcome the crisis. The proposal raises implications for new ways of managing business organizations, and especially for the solution of the crisis.

Keywords : self-organization; adaptability; complexity; crises.
