Institute for the Study of Coherence and Emergence (ISCE)
http://isce.edu/

The Institute for the Study of Coherence and Emergence (ISCE) was founded in 1999 to facilitate the conversation between academics and practitioners regarding the implications of complexity thinking for the management of organizations. To support this aim ISCE organizes a variety of events, sponsors the international trans-disciplinary journal, Emergence: Complexity and Organizations (formerly known as Emergence), or simply, E:CO, supports an ongoing book series, and conducts research. ISCE’s research activities are focused on social complexity theory and its applications including: the philosophical implications of complexity, the role of language in understanding organizations, coherence in organizations, the simplification of the irreducible, complexity-based tools for policy analysis. ISCE also acts to help co-ordinate the research activities of the ISCE fellows to ensure that each fellow is aware of each other fellow’s research to facilitate cross-disciplinary collaboration and synthesis.
