| KRATKA VSEBINA | This paper is a review from a business analyst's perspective of the concept and complexity of business systems andorganizations as entities, but may be viewed in context of other systems aswell. It discusses to which extent an economist can and should understand business systems and complexity of organization. Moreover, this paper has afurther task to catalyze a broader discussion of business in a growingly complex environment that should, in fact, reach beyond the boundaries of this work. The main argument is that traditional economics and analytical approach is insufficient for understanding certain aspects of business systems, predominantly due to their growing path-dependent, complex and chaotic features, which can also be detected in social systems in general. These features are found to be hard to grasp with the existing economics' theoretical and practical analytical tools due to the fact that these systems possess (unpredictable) emergent properties like other systems (i.e. natural, human) do. In general, economics has a problem with the emergent features of business systems, which are merely treated as side-constraints or side-effects of particular (management) action(s) and can hardly ever be properly defined by analysts. However, these aspects maybe crucial for understanding processes of path-creation, dependence and emergence of unpredictable features in business systems, and therefore crucial for crisis predictability and future stability of business entities. // Ta prispevek predstavlja pregled koncepta in kompleksnosti poslovnih sistemov in organizacij kot celot z vidika poslovnega analitika, toda prav tako ga lahko razumemo znotraj drugih sistemov. Razpravlja, do katere mere ekonomist lahko in mora razumeti poslovne sisteme in kompleksnost organizacije. Nadalje, članek ima dodatno nalogo kataliziranjaširše razprave o poslovanju v vedno kompleksnejšem okolju in mora, dejansko, preseči okvir tega dela. Glavni argument je, da je tradicionalni ekonomski in analitični pristop nezadosten za razumevanje določenih aspektov poslovnih sistemov predvsem zaradi njihovih naraščajočih soodvisnih, kompleksnih in kaotičnih značilnosti, ki jih lahko prav tako zaznamo v družbenih sistemih na sploh. Te značilnosti so težko dojemljive zobstoječimi ekonomskimi teoretičnimi in praktičnimi analitičnimi orodji zaradi dejstva, da ti sistemi vsebujejo (nepredvidljive) pojavljajoče se lastnosti enako kot jih imajo drugi sistemi (t.j. naravni, človeški). Na splošno ima ekonomija težave z nastajajočimi značilnostmi poslovnih sistemov, ki jih obravnavajo zgolj kot stranske omejitve oziroma stranske učinke določenega (vodstvenega) dejanja oz. dejanj in ki jih analitiki le stežka ustrezno definirajo. Kljub temu so ti vidiki ključnega pomena za razumevanje procesov ustvarjanja poti, odvisnosti in nastajanja nepredvidljivih značilnosti v poslovnih sistemih in so torej ključnega pomena za predvidevanje kriz in bodoče stabilnosti poslovnih enot. |
