Learning from Complexity theory : Is Strategic Planning Obsolete? During the last few years, twentieth century scientific thinking has been creating ripples and raising ques- tions in the business world.

This orderly process corresponded to New- ton's laws in which he applied the principle of gravity and laws of motion to predict an orderly and controlled universe.
