The Impact

Since the 90s of last century, learning organization as a new organizational mode is highly prized by the management scholars all over the world. It is considered as a new trend and an ideal mode of the global organizational management in the knowledge economy era. In consideration of learning organizations with attributes of complex system, the theory of complex adaptive system provides a possible route on methodology for the study of its organizational change. This paper starts from the view of complex adaptive system theory, analyzes the initiative, adaptability of the learning organization and its interaction with the environment. It assumes that with the constant change of the performance parameters, functions and attributes of the organization, the entire organization mode and the structure will also change. Furthermore by constructing a complex adaptive model of learning organization, this paper elaborates the organizational change process, and extracts the information communication, organizational mood, leadership style and organizational knowledge as the impact indicators. The conclusion of this research has some significance as reference for those who try to improve the level of the adaptability of organizations in the various changing environment.

Purpose The purpose of this study was to advance the knowledge of pharmaceutical supply chain (PSC) resilience using complex adaptive system theory (CAS). Design/methodology/approach An exploratory research design, which adopted a qualitative approach was used to achieve the study’s research objective. Qualitative data were gathered through 23 semi-structured interviews with key supply chain actors across the PSC in the UK. Findings The findings demonstrate that CAS, as a theory, provides a systemic approach to understanding PSC resilience by taking into consideration the various elements (environment, PSC characteristics, vulnerabilities and resilience strategies) that make up the entire system. It also provides explanations for key findings, such as the impact of power, conflict and complexity in the PSC, which are influenced by the interactions between supply chain actors and as such increase its susceptibility to the negative impact of disruption. Furthermore, the antecedents for building resilience strategies were the outcome of the decision-making process referred to as co-evolution from a CAS perspective. Originality/value Based on the data collected, the study was able to reflect on the relationships, interactions and interfaces between actors in the PSC using the CAS theory, which supports the proposition that resilience strategies can be adopted by supply chain actors to enhance this service supply chain. This is a novel empirical study of resilience across multiple levels of the PSC and as such adds valuable new knowledge about the phenomenon and the use of CAS theory as a vehicle for exploration and knowledge construction in other supply chains.

The Impact

In recent years, with the telecom competitive landscape changing and the communications technology developing, China's telecom market has shifted from the seller's to the buyer's. Moreover, the arrival of 3G is injecting vitality to China's information services. Series of industrial policies have triggered structure optimization and reorganization, but also made the Chinese telecom companies face the changing situation more various than ever. How to “victory in changing” becomes an urgent problem of decision-makers to explore and solve. As a new organizational mode, learning organization is considered as new trends for enterprise organization and management methods and ideal management mode in Era of knowledge economy. This paper based on level response theory of complex adaptive system, discusses the impact to the change led by “organizational knowledge”, expands “structure-relationship” to the “structure-knowledge-relationship” network theory , then proposes a hypothesis about three-dimensional constitute of organizational changes and builds adaptability evolution model for learning organization under the action in complex environment. Also we give a empirical research to statistically analyze questionnaires from different telecom companies and confirm the hypothesis according to the previous analysis. Finally, the strategies to improve the adaptability of telecom operators are put forward in order to maintain continuing power for development. The conclusion of this research has some significance as reference for those who try to improve the level of the adaptability of business organizations in the various changing environment.

In the disaster rescue process, how to reduce disaster losses as far as possible has become an important research topic. Based on MAS and complex adaptive system theory, this paper constructs a multi-agent model which contains rescue agents and victim agents. Through the full analysis of behaviors and influencing factors during the process, this model includes judgments of the rescue members, behaviors among victims and the impact of relief supplies.

Abstract Early forecasting is important for health officials and decision-makers to respond to public health emergencies such as the 2019 novel coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak. The spread of epidemic is mainly impacted by the interaction among agents, i.e., individual, hospital and government. In an effort to efficiently mitigate the impact of the virus, this original study designed a multi-agents complex adaptive system model of COVID-19 to detect the trend of the spread in 8 countries by simulating the adaptation and interaction among the agents. The results show that there should be 127,726 infections in China, 12,000 in South Korea, 729,377 in the USA, 176,623 in Italy, 194,359 in Spain, 165,122 in Germany, 177,462 in France and 149,540 in UK. It is impossible to screen and report all the cases, and the detection rate may be 82% in Italy, 65% in China, 55% in the USA, and 41% in UK on April 8, 2020. Scenario simulation results imply that action time is the most important factor in containing the spread of epidemic. If China had locked down Wuhan city five days later, the total infection would be tripled. The forces of individual, hospital and government should be united in fighting the virus.

AbstractThis paper deals with constellations in which, as consequences of linguistic interculturality, elements of two or more languages encounter each other and result in something partially or completely new, an – occasionally temporary – “third quality”, namely hybridity. The paper contributes to the meta-discourse and theory formation by questioning the concept, term and content of “linguistic hybridity”. It also submits a proposal for a typology of linguistic-communicative hybridity that consists of the following prototypical main groups, each with several subtypes: (1) language-cultural, (2) semiotic, (3) medial, (4) communicative, (5) systematic, (6) paraverbal and (7) nonverbal hybridity. At last, the paper examines hybridity as an explanatory variable for language change. In conclusion, hybridity is generally a place of cultural production, with special regard to communication and language it is potentially considered as an incubator of linguistic innovation. Hybridity can be seen as the engine and as the result of language change, or language development. It represents an essential factor by which language functions and develops as a complex adaptive system. Hybridity operates as a continuous cycle. By generating innovation, it triggers language change, which in turn, leads to further and new hybridizations. The processuality of hybridity creates diversity, while at the same time it can cause the vanishing of diversity.
