Liang Thow Yick (2001). Nurturing intelligent human systems: the nonlinear perspective of the human minds. Human Systems Management 20, pages 281 - 289. ISSN 0167-2533.

Affiliation: Singapore Management University.

Researcher background: BSc Mathematics, BSc Physics, BSc(Hons) Physics, MSc Computer Imaging, PhD Particle Physics, Associate Professor in Management.

Related disciplines (keywords): adaptive, chaos, nonlinearity, intelligence, self-organisation, complexity.

Funded: Yes, by Wharton-SMU Research Center.

2.1 Liang 2001, Section 1.1

Page 281:

Main idea: Economy is progressing from tangible (money) to intangible (knowledge).

Liang supports the idea with references.

Referenced idea: e-landscape (described in another paper by Liang).

Liang's thesis: We need a new organisational mindset based on Darwin's evolution, nonlinearity, and quantum physics.

Liang says the new organisation science incorporating the new nonlinear mindset will affect not only business but also the society, the economy, and politics.

Vocabulary: orgmind, socmind.

Page 282:

3-tier structure of intelligent organisation: layers of orgmind, intangible structure, tangible structure.

New focus is on education, not natural resources.

2.2 Liang 2001, Section 1.2

Page 282:

Main idea: balance of order and disorder.

Description of complexity.

Universe expansion, entropy, and second law of thermodynamics.

Vocabulary: centres of order.

Systems that cannot adapt die.

What a complex adaptive system is.

Referenced ideas: coevolution, butterfly effect.

2.3 Liang 2001, Section 2.1

Page 282:

Basic concepts: mind, orgmind.

Page 283:

Thoughts and actions.

Connectivity and collective intelligence.

Minds as nonlinear systems, basic components of orgminds.

Organisations as complex adaptive systems.

Collective intelligence originates from the orgmind.

Referenced idea: knowledge management.

Vocabulary: intelligence era.

Vocabulary: thought technology.

Referenced idea: Autopoiesis.

intangible structure comes from the orgmind.

Idea: Artificial tangible structure can't sustain itself without support from the intangible structure.
