GALVEZ MEDINA, Ernesto; BALANKIN, Alexander  and  RESENOS, Edmundo. Fractal approach applied in the administration. Investig. adm. [online]. 2009, vol.38, n.104, pp.43-56. ISSN 2448-7678.

This paper analyses the fractal approach in management organizations theory. The target problem is built up in two ways: 1) the management theories evolution, 2) the versatility of application in sciences, specifically of the fractal approach in management studies. The analyses show that these aspects have coincidental characteristics that favor their integration, to explain the applications of the fractal approach in management. The constant evolution of the science and technology management and consequently the changes in paradigms have allowed the explanation of its trajectory from the industrial era to the knowledge era, as well as, the transition of the Euclidian geometric to fractal geometric. The contributions of the complexity and chaos theories; and the authopoiesis as systems properties; offer a major and better understanding of the management organizations phenomena. The use of the proposed term "fractal factory" as a support to the discussions of management science and technology when these are backed up by the fractal approach, or when it is used as support of the rationality degree with which the design and construction of the systems, subsystems, models, methods and procedures is taken. The necessity of future research is perceived on the internal logic of the diverse fractal structures and the functioning of these into the enterprises.
