Introduction to Business


Today’s business world is an increasingly complex, interconnected environment where organisations
conduct global business. It is characterised by rapid, unpredictable change resulting in turmoil that
impacts all levels of an organisation. Traditional deliberate strategies, based on cycles of stability and
predictability, are no longer relevant for today's business environments. Emergent strategies have
been advocated as the solution. However, the thesis of this research is that organisations need to
interweave the deliberate with the emergent. A review of research and industry literature suggests
large gaps exist in terms of strategies, processes, structures, and information systems that intrinsically,
fundamentally, and seamlessly interweave deliberate and emergent aspects to support adaptive
organisations. In this thesis we investigate and propose how interweaving of the deliberate and
emergent could be conceived and realised in terms of strategy, processes, organisational structures,
and information systems. The research is interdisciplinary in nature and spans management,
operations, and information systems.
