Chaos Approach in Business Management: A Theoretical Overview

The rapid change in technology in the world, as in all organizations, causes change in the organization and management structures of enterprises. While it is almost impossible not to be affected by the changes, not being able to catch these changes is seen as an equivalent situation in the process. In this environment of change, organizations need to be aware of internal and external factors that affect them positively or negatively. Rules applicable to people in the world apply to organizations. For this reason, it is possible to say that things do not always go well for the organizations and a complexity can be experienced. The organizations facing this complex situation must be prepared for all the problems they may face. In this context, managers should adopt a chaos-oriented management approach. The chaos approach, which is expressed as a complex situation in this study, is conceptually examined in the context of business management. For this purpose, the Chaos Theory is first explained in the study and then the chaos approach is discussed in terms of business organization and management. This study is important in terms of supporting the development of future principles and methods in the field of business management.
