Chaotic Disorder and Performance in High Velocity Environments: Some Coping Strategies

Abstract

The current international businessenvironment suggests potentially wide performance variation for both SME and large corporations, especially as it relates to execution of strategy. This paper contends that extensive measurement at the granular level of performancereveals the strong ability to inform our understanding of chaotic structures and subsequent performance enhancements. The argument is that we often miss the trees for the forest and should engagecorrective actions using both mathematical application and managerial action in a manner similar to forest propogation and husbandry rather than more complex forestry. This paper highlights strategic areas of measurement and performance tied with chaotic structural formulae. It suggests ways to recognize poor growth that would be overlooked in an organizational pathology termed in this paper as Corporate Attention Deficit Disorder, or CADD. The paper recommends a course of action that creates the similar speeding-up interaction as Methylphenidate in humans, but hopefully without the side effects of impaired reaction or learning. To date no papers appear in Pro Quest, EBSCO-Premier,Ao M, SMS, DSI, or the AIB so this contribution is potentially noveland informative to managers who seek to be on the forefront of real-time evidence-based performance management. Strategies for SME and larger organizations are discussed as are the simple structured equations by Lyaponov, Poincare, Myers-Kress, and Lorenz and the nonlinear regression thatis necessary for this practice.
