Four Questions on Complexity and Learning

Abstract

Increasing interaction (in numbers, patterns and uncertain intensity) in innovation processes point at new and different methodologies of researching reality including complexity views of modern production. In post-modern era, where (informational) networks are evolving, learning can not be understood through the lens of organization, but through learning individuals. Such approach can be attained by Interaction analysis which gives typical pattern of connections among attributes describing phenomena. Interaction analysis is the first step to functional modeling as a method of multidimensional optimization for chosen criteria. Functional modeling satisfies processing approach which treats surroundings as complex, uncertain, full of changes and emergent phenomenon. Empirical analysis indicates that companies in Slovenia in the year 2003 are not characterized with category of Learning organization.
