Özet

Traditionally management and organization studies have an assumption of control with a linear understanding since the beginning of “scientific management”.Either academic or popular publications create an illusion of control over organizations, managerial procedures or people with the representations of “management”. As a challenge to traditional view, chaos theory in management and organization studies suggests a new perspective. Keeping in mind the influence of nonlinear approaches, this study aims to confront epistemologically the neglect of the nature of chaos and order dialectics for further explorations of management and organization theory.
