复杂适应系统应用领域研究展望

Outlook for the Researches of Complex Adaptive System's Application Domain

复杂适应系统(CAS)理论为许多传统方法无法解决的问题提供了研究依据,因此备受许多学者青睐。本文阐述了复杂适应系统理论及其方法论并与还原论、整体论进行比较分析,并且评述了复杂适应系统理论在经济、管理、社会、生命科学研究领域的适用性,结果表明:复杂适应系统理论在经济与管理领域的研究相对成熟。最后提出了复杂适应系统应用流程,展望了复杂适应系统理论未来研究趋势。

Complex adaptive system（CAS） theory offers a basis for the study of problems that can’t be solved through traditional methods,so many scholars show great interest in it.The paper explains the CAS theory and analyzes the pros and cons between Reductionism,Holism and CAS comparatively.Furthermore,a comparative analysis of CAS＇s applicability in economy,management,society and life sciences domain is given.The results show that the use of CAS in economic and management research is relatively mature.Finally,we present the application process of CAS and forecast the research trend of CAS theory in the future.
