This session wants contributions about theories of social organisation. At the descriptive (phenomenological) and explanatory levels, “SYSTEM ORGANIZATION” reflects how a collective of people gains organization as a property. How do the participants of a collective achieve closure in their interactions? At the normative level, “system organization” reflects upon how the collective MUST and SHOULD be organized; which are necessary and sufficient requirements for an effective organization in a challenging environment.

   This session wants contributions that explore processes of local self-organisation and also of guided self-organisation to unleash the capabilities of people to construct better organisations. For these purposes, submissions are encouraged to explore interactions at all levels, from the most local to the most global. How can these interactions make organisations more agile, resilient and responsible to their ecological demands. Submissions need to explore how current technological developments in particular, those of the digital society, can improve the quality of complex interactions between people, groups and organisations with their environments.
