Analyzing the Pathway of Organizational Change Based on the Environmental Complexity

In traditional organizations, the procedures of change in pattern of "ordering" and "the plan road map" are more common. However, along with the economic globalization in the 21st century, the development of the new technology and the innovation of the management pattern have brought unprecedented impact to the organization. Unlike the past, the variation of the present environment is complex, uncertain, unable to give a long-term forecast and control. Facing the complexity both inside and outside, the organization must change to adapt the environment whose change is bigger and quicker than their own. In this paper we introduce the motives and goals of organizational change; analyze the perplexity under the complex environment; and then discuss the type and the pattern of organizational change. According to the theories of complex science, we also specifically discuss the evolution of complex adaptive organization and the pathway decision on organizational change under the complex environment, which is overall, regular and continuous.
