WCSA 7th WORLD CONFERENCE
Rio de Janeiro, 5th and 6th January 2017
GOVERNING TURBULENCE
Risk and Opportunities in the Complexity Age
In the last decades, globalization has increased greatly
for all social actors in terms of opportunities of knowledge, education,
communication and financial profits.
However, at the same time, the level of uncertainty has
rapidly increased, mainly due to the enormous amount of cheap information that
is available at any moment. Frequently, an overload of information leads to
risk, and it also makes it difficult to foresee possible consequences of any
decision. Therefore, in such conditions
many variables should be taken into consideration. It affects all spheres of social life: economic, social and
political; as well as every level of decision making, from single individuals
to local policy implementation, strategic managements of big organizations both
public and private, national or even supranational. Due to the fact that
complexity is common to diverse milieus, the best strategy to deal with
uncertainty is to share knowledge from different domains beyond the
disciplinarian and scientific borders.
This conference welcomes scientists from any sphere:
politicians, business people, etc., to present their researches and experiences
on decision-making aimed to develop systemic, multidisciplinary sets of
notions, ideas and best practices.
