    Management Cybernetics is the science of effective organization. Despite its name, Chaos Theory centers on self-organizing systems. Cybernetics is expert in complexity. Chaotic systems are complex systems that can self-organize when key independent variables become synchronized through positive and negative feedback. The connection is clear. Management Cybernetics is interested in finding the invariant features of viable systems and self-organization from chaos is one of them.

    Tom Tyler- Strategies of Social Control- Part 2

    Posted by admin on December 7th, 2009 and filed under organization strategies | No Comments »

    Tom Tyler’s presentation “Strategies of Social Control: Motivating Rule Adherence in Organizational Settings” from the 2007 Project on Law and Mind Sciences (PLMS) Conference.

    Recent examples of abuse of authority have occurred in two types of organizational settings: corporations and the armed forces. What strategies can be used to bring behavior in such settings into line with rules and policies about appropriate conduct? Dr. Tyler will talk about the value of self-regulatory approaches, examining whether they work and how to make them effective. He will illustrate his arguments using data collected in two contexts: in a multinational corporate bank and among agents of social control (e.g., police officers, federal agents, and infantry soldiers).

    For more speaker videos and to find out more about this year’s conference, please visit the PLMS website.
