BUS 450 Introduction to Complexity
The growing complexity within the market demands new perspectives and tools for understanding complex systems that consist of a large number of interdependent components such as the economy and organizations. Using principles, tools, and techniques from Complexity Science, students will learn how the behavior of a complex system emerges from the nonlinear interactions among its components. An emphasis is placed on the properties of complex systems including emergence, nonlinearity, interdependence, co-evolution, self-organization, simple rules, and requisite variety.
