InTraders 2019: Academic studies in social, human and administrative sciences

The present study is an analysis of the connections established between the intercultural phenomenon and trade.

Many innovations in different fields spread due to intercultural ex...

  • Publisher: IGI Global

Autopoietic systems show a remarkable property in the way they interact with their environment: on the one hand building blocks and energy (including information) are exchanged with the environment, which characterizes them as open systems; on the other hand, any functional mechanisms—the way the system processes, incorporates building blocks, and responds to information—are totally self-determined and cannot be controlled by interventions from the environment. Information systems in an organization seem to accept the autopoietic system way of development and can help managers to understand the operations of their organizations better. The Handbook of Research on Autopoiesis and Self-Sus...
