New research methods have come to the foreground, however, starting from some solid scientific studies on individual behavior and using advanced computing techniques capable of “growing up" phenomena at the macro level, making it possible to obtain counterintuitive findings about behavior and implications in organizations. The new computational approaches additionally permit one to experiment with parameters such as individual rationality, something that is difficult to address with a purely statistical approach. With these issues in mind, the present call for paper aims to collect a series of contributions in organizational studies that are not purely simulation based, but a hybrid between the classical statistical modeling approach, and nonlinear dynamic modeling.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></span></font><span style="background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 11pt; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; ">Potential papers should feature the merits of a particular computational technique and how it provides<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span><span style="color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 11pt; ">new insights into organizational dynamics.

One or more of the following nonlinear concepts must be an explicit part of the exposition: attractors, bifurcations, chaos, fractals, solitons, catastrophes, self-organizing processes, cellular automata, genetic algorithms and related evolutionary processes, neural networks, and agent-based models. The broad mixture of the disciplines represented here indicates that many bodies of knowledge share common principles. By juxtaposing developments in different fields within the life and social sciences, the scientific communities may obtain fresh perspectives on those common principles and their implications. Because the journal is multidisciplinary in scope, each article should constructed for understanding by a broad readership.</font></span></p><p style="margin-top: 0in; margin-bottom: 6pt; margin-right: 0in;
