Reading and Theory

The quality of my inquiry will be affected by the literature that I will choose. With my current awareness and understanding, I am planning to benefit from:

• Complexity in Organisations will make it possible for me to look at organizations form complexity lens and understand the role and impact of social interactions which create patterns.
• Gestalt Theory which closely deals with awareness as well as contact allowing a change or shift in boundaries whether that is at the physical, emotional, mental or spiritual level.
• Quantum Theory which deals with connectedness in the universal sense
• Different strands of living systems theory through which I am interested to explore links between nature and organizations
• Positive Psychology as it is closely related with moments of vitality and growth as well as its organizational extensions which works with similar topics in the organizational setting
• Action Research will serve as a foundation for my research methodology
