The “Freely Adaptive System”. Application of this Cybernetic Model to an Organization Formed by Two Dynamic Human Systems

Editorial

“…His FAS model is more suited for understanding human interaction than other cybernetic model, which seem more appropriate for living organisms other than humans. Melé et al (2019) situate the model in cybernetics, and argues how the model is consistent with Aristotelian anthropology. Doing so enables the author to posit that the FAS model can be used as a heuristic for decision making in repeated interactions between two persons, in that it considers three basic criteria -effectiveness, internal efficiency and consistency.…”

“…The article by Melé et al (2019) discusses the 'Freely Adaptive System' (FAS) model developed by Péréz López, a former Dean of IESE Business School. Although the work of Péréz López has considerable uptake among Spanish speaking scholars, his work on cybernetics has so far been largely ignored in the international academe.…”

Modelo teórico para la integración de las emociones en el campo del comportamiento organizacional

“…del management como la toma de decisiones (Ariño, 2005;Lopez Jurado, 2010), el liderazgo (Álvarez de Mon, Cardona, Chinchilla, Pin et al, 2001;Gorrochotegui, 2007), el uso del poder Ferreiro y Alcázar, 2012), la ética empresarial (Argandoña, 2008;, la motivación (García A. T., 2004), la selección de personal y la comunicación organizacional (Ferreiro y Alcázar, 2012). El modelo de Pérez López es una propuesta teórica que se encuadra en el paradigma del management cybernetics (Melé, Chinchilla, y López-Jurado, 2018) y estudia la acción humana de tal manera que permite la integración, desde el interior de la teoría, de las diversas materias propias del campo del comportamiento organizacional. Poco se ha escrito sobre uno de sus aportes más interesantes, la integración de la emoción en la acción humana dentro de las organizaciones, por lo que este trabajo representa un aporte en ese ámbito.…”

Drilling down the viable system theories in business, management and accounting: A bibliometric review

“…Therefore, the VSM, in its diagnostic and planning tasks, has been applied to different types of systems, and at different levels of complexity, for its ability to detect the existence or the lack of adequate communication among the different systems concerned. Currently, various applications at different levels and sectors of economic and social activities confirm its potential: Walker (2017) reports on experiences in various councils in the United Kingdom; Burgess and Wake (2013) discuss its applicability to small‐ and medium‐sized enterprises; Harwood (2009) focuses on its design function by revising its application to the entire Scottish tourism sector; other applications are derived from the consulting environment (Chatzimichailidou & Katsavounis, 2012; Herzog et al, 2016; Hildbrand & Bodhanya, 2014; Maracha, 2016; Melé, Chinchilla, & López‐Jurado, 2019; Rezaee, Azar, Erz, & Nayeri, 2019; Rezk & Gamal, 2019). Other scholars (Adham, Kasimin, Mat Isa, Othman, & Ahmad, 2015; Mahamed Ismail, Welch, & Xu, 2015) outline the design contribution of the model to the sustainable quality of university research.…”
