技术与组织变迁——基于复杂适应系统理论的研究

Technological and organizational changes——a study based on complex adaptive system theory

技术是否对组织变迁产生影响是一个充满争议的问题。学术界对于此问题的看法经历了技术建构论和社会建构论的争论之后,有了较为中肯的认识。但是学术界尚缺乏对于技术对组织变迁产生影响的机制的全面研究。本文从复杂适应系统理论的视角出发,探讨了作为复杂适应系统的组织及其变迁,分析了技术的双重性以及作为组织环境的技术转化为组织要素的机制以及技术导致组织变迁的机制。

It is a controversial issue that whether techonlogy has an impact on organizational changes.After the debates between technological determinism and social constructivism,Academia had come to an critical understanding.However,it is still a unresolved question that how tochnology leads organization to change.Under the insights of Complex Adaptive Syetem Theory,the article discusses comlplex adaptive organization and its changes,analyzes dual natures of technology and how it changes from enviromental element to organizational element,and inquires the mechanism that technology leads organitztion to change.
