Entropy Constraints in Post-Industrial Organizational Theory
An investigation into organizational failure modes where complexity-based management theories are used to mask rigid, failing hierarchies.
Organizations undergoing decline often adopt the language of 'Complexity Science'—such as agility, self-organization, and emergent leadership—to disguise a return to autocratic control. This is the ultimate expression of the Liar's-Heir-Syndrome.
