The Research On Enterprises' Sustainable Development Based On Complex Adaptive System Theary

ESD (Enterprises' sustainable development) is not only the unrelenting goal of entrepreneurs and social intrest-related people, but also the important issue which management scholar has explored constantly hi recent years.Essentially speaking, the complex adaptive property of enterprises themselves provides an overly new sketch and method for the introduction of system science and relative theory into ESD research, which becomes a hot topic of enterprises management theory. Combining some relevant management theory with CAS (Complex Adaptive System) theory, this article discusses the basic rule and precondition to the realization of ESD.The concept, meaning and relevant theoretic basis are explained in the thesis firstly, then the theoretic foundation for selecting CAS is discussed. Moreover the model of the dynamic mechanism analysis of ESD based on CAS is constructed, after that, the management principles and methods for ESD are generalized. At last, demonstration analysis on Haier Group applying the conclusions that have been inferred from analysis parts of the thesis is carried out. As a generalization, the following content is included as major arguments.In the first two chapters, the necessity and background of ESD under the implementation of national sustainable development strategy is illuminated, and its possibility is also explained in terms of system theory. The thesis retrospects some primary management theories and ideas of reference value, and definition of complex system is introduced; also the conception, theoretical foundation and method of CAS are reviewed; and description of adaptive agents, the seven basic points and main characteristics of CAS are systematically introduced. After introducing adaptive molecule evolving model and relative theories into CAS, the feasibility and new characteristics for introducing CAS into ESD are analyzed.In chapter 3, both the precondition and dynamic mechanism of ESD are analyzed based on CAS's properties. ESD based on chemical catalytic model is founded and the factors affecting the enterprises' sustainable development are specified. Through analyzing organization property of ESD, a conclusion is drawn that employee's extensive participation and elastic net structure could make the organization respond to external circumstance precisely and quickly. How the main four platforms affect ESD is analyzed by construction of ESD'S dynamic supporting mechanism. Finally, referring to symmetry deficiency theory, the significance of integration management model on ESD study is analyzed.In chapter 4, based on the theoretical model and conclusions, the organization principle, strategy principle and managing principles are obtained with example analysis. Management philosophy of ESD as well as the methods for stable development under the dynamic circumstances is generalizedAccording to the theory and methods mentioned above, in chapter 5 the thesis makes an analysis with Haier Group as an example. Firstly, the brief background, history and culture of Haier Group is introduced, based on that its complex adaptive characteristics are analyzed, and reach out its advantages and disadvantages during development process. At last, pieces of advice for Haier's further development are proposed according to ESD's management principles and philosophy.
