Bottle of bees and flies

 If you put the same amount of six bees and flies only put into a glass bottle, and then the bottle flat, so that the window toward the bottom of the bottle, what happens?
You will see, the bees want to keep find the exit on the bottom, until they collapsed and died of exhaustion or starvation; and flies will be in less than two minutes, to escape through the bottleneck of the other side of a space - in fact, it is bright because the bees love, Because of their intelligence, before the demise of bees.
bees that, the export of cells bound to the place in the brightest light; they kept repeating this a logical move. on the bees, the glass is a supernatural mysteries, they had never encountered in nature that can not penetrate the atmosphere suddenly; and the higher their intelligence, this strange disorder becomes more and more unacceptable and incomprehensible.
stupid The flies are not aware of the logic of things, totally disregarding the light of the attractive, looked flying, cock the result of the good fortune to run into; these simple-minded and wise men who die in the place is always well saved. Therefore, That just kind of flies can be found in the export of the final and, therefore, freedom and new life.
story above is not a fable, but the University of Michigan professor Carl b Wake quoted a wonderful experiment. Weick is a well-known scholar of organizational behavior, with a weave,Discount UGG boots, confusion, rigid and adaptable, all of which help to cope with change. , creativity will be stifled. to make itself more dynamic, more creative?
such problems are urgent, because the management of ambiguity, uncertainty management, management of change, has become the number one task facing enterprises today. uncertainty has been and long-suffering enterprises become a predicted only a few months later the technology trend is a futile waste of time. If you have a little bit of understanding of chaos theory, you will know the world not known, but also unpredictable. In the past the enterprise is like a leisurely tour zai luxury cruise ship, and now the company is like the monstrous waves of the sea in the canoe.
but said not to encourage our pessimistic view of the world. Wakefield's view is that to deal with uncertainty solution is always given the transient nature of things in a reasonable, just like the flies in these experiments. This means that, in the face of the world become more complex, if you want to make it into management (sensemaking), you must have a random wisdom rather than dogmatic wisdom, such as the publication in September 2001 editorial No so be as true wisdom.
Why do I say? Labrador Indians as hunting is an activity carried out thousands of times, they can accumulate a wealth of relevant prey, tracking, weather and terrain experience. Typically, they will rely on hunting team of experienced hunters to judge the knowledge and intelligence; but variable increase in the external environment or other special situations encountered, the Labrador will be the experience of the Indians aside in favor of recourse to non-logical success. Magic hunting for a fixed pattern introduces a random variable, hunting tactics will not stick to conventions, to avoid blindly follow the experience may cause invalid chase, which is what we often say which led to the failure of success. the immediate environment, sort out order from chaos; but in a constantly changing world, chaotic action is much better than an orderly arrest.
