Dissipative Structures in Communication and Organizational Behavior

Abstract

This paper aims to demonstrate, theoretically and conceptually, that communication in organizations, from the study of chaos theory, is a sort of dissipative structure that influences and determines organizational behavior. The possibility of structuring a new paradigm in which the second principle of thermodynamics, known as entropy and the concept of dissipative structures, are interrelated and allow us to understand the role of communication in organizations as a regulator of chaos and order. This work leads us to the study of predictability without resorting to complex mathematical equations. The formulation of a combination of variables in which cause-effect relationships are exposed. In this way, it is tried to demonstrate that from the dynamic systems, a same communicative phenomenon with two enormously close or near conditions; Sooner or later, it will follow completely different, independent and divergent trajectories, beyond its temporal horizon of predictability.
