This paper presents the theoretical and practical findings emerging from an exploratory study of Chaos and Complexity Theory (C&CT) as an alternative approach to propitiate new understandings about the nature of management in organizations. They show that C&CT is not theoretically coherent enough to be applied in practice. Copyright © 2003 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
