"Even in the simplest structures, multiple landscapes or thoughts can be expressed," says Sekine, whose work explores the encounter between natural and industrial materials, focusing on the interdependency of these elements and the surrounding space.
As opposed to traditional organizational models, CAS explores organizational change by directing attention to the interdependency of the different organizational elements and not towards the elements themselves [ 28].
It is shown that if the design problem at hand is "complex" (in terms of interdependencies between the elements of the system), then a decentralized institutional structure is unlikely ever to generate optimal solutions and, therefore, no selection process can ever select them.
Complex technological networks represent a growing challenge to support and maintain as their number of elements become higher and their interdependencies more involved.
Further, such an approach could be used to better examine the interdependencies of the single elements of the triple bottom line of sustainability (economy, environment, society).
As staff members became aware of the complexity of their clinical processes and their understanding of the interdependencies of the various elements grew, they discovered new problems and possible solutions.
Furthermore, interdependency between the elements was validated using elements linkage map of previous study [15].
Such lack of reassortments is remarkable given the genetic similarity and overlapping geographical spread of the two lineages, and suggests a very strong interdependency between the elements of the constellation.
The findings suggest clear institutional 'gaps' that deliberate strategies will need to address, but also highlight the importance of understanding the interdependency between all elements for strategic response.
