This chapter utilizes metaphorical reasoning and draws upon Gareth Morgan’s “Images of Organization” to provide a theoretical basis for understanding complex social value and sustainability dynamics. The selected metaphor of the “flux and transformation” lens/prism offers insights into the constant interplay between social stability and dynamic change in social development. Thought trials through metaphor explore interconnected concepts, including the relationships between systems and their environments, chaos and complexity theory, cybernetics, and the tensions between opposites. Concepts such as Stigmergy, Systems Thinking and Systems Dynamics offer contextualization. Chapter 3 bridges the social value and social impact literature examined in Chap. 2 and the model-building process outlined in Chap. 4 by providing a new perspective frame for a new theory’s emergence.

摘要

This chapter utilizes metaphorical reasoning and draws upon Gareth Morgan’s “Images of Organization” to provide a theoretical basis for understanding complex social value and sustainability dynamics. The selected metaphor of the “flux and transformation” lens/prism offers insights into the constant interplay between social stability and dynamic change in social development. Thought trials through metaphor explore interconnected concepts, including the relationships between systems and their environments, chaos and complexity theory, cybernetics, and the tensions between opposites. Concepts such as Stigmergy, Systems Thinking and Systems Dynamics offer contextualization. Chapter 3 bridges the social value and social impact literature examined in Chap. 2 and the model-building process outlined in Chap. 4 by providing a new perspective frame for a new theory’s emergence.
