Organizational Complexity Resources

Bibliography – PDF document (254 KB) with references to over 600 journal articles and web documents dealing with some aspect of complexity applied within organizational settings.  While some items bleed over to other disciplines, the primary audience is the person interested in learning about complexity science for application within organizations.  The references are now being classified (see the last page) for easier search of sub-topics.
