Applying chaos theory to human resource development.

Abstract
As organizations increasingly recognize the shortcomings of scientific management approaches and traditional top-down approaches to change, there is an increasing openness to new lenses for understanding change. Chaos Theory, with its roots in the natural sciences, provides a holistic approach for understanding the dynamic and fluid nature of organizations. This paper provides a review of literature that outlines the origins and basic principles of Chaos Theory, applies the concepts to organizations, and connects the concept to human resource development.
