Emergence: Complexity and Organization (E:CO) “is an international and interdisciplinary conversation about human organizations as complex systems and the implications of complexity science for those organizations. With a unique format blending the integrity of academic inquiry and the impact of business practice, E:CO integrates multiple perspectives in management theory, research, practice and education. E:CO is a quarterly journal published in print and online by The Complexity Society, the Institute for the Study of Coherence and Emergence, and the Cynefin Centre for Organizational Complexity in accordance with academic publishing standards and processes.”

Articles from the current issue of the journal are available online from this site. The “Related Books” page appears to be a well-vetted book list on the topic.

My model for using social network analysis in organizations is founded on the ideas of Dave Snowden (formerly IBM, now the Cynefin Centre), from whom I continue to learn. I’m looking forward to seeing Dave in London in two weeks at the Ark Conference. (I”ll post the link to the Cynefin Centre when it goes live.)
