The Impact of Complex Adaptive Systems
As a teenager beginning a new school, you likely searched for other students who were similar to you to befriend. You may have looked for students with similar backgrounds, interests, hobbies, and academic abilities. It is likely that no one explicitly told you to do this but that you did it naturally. Others did likewise, and groups began to form. As your group began to interact with other groups, rules governing these relationships may also have formed. Again, these relationships were likely not instituted by anyone in formal authority but passed informally among members and between groups. However, some members may have deviated from these informal relationship rules. If the influence of these individuals were strong enough, they could permanently alter the relationships within and between groups.
Those who apply complexity theories suggest that organizations and even entire industries develop in much the same way as individuals or entire organizations pursue individual goals, react to the actions of others, and form relationships. Scholar-practitioners must ask themselves what implications these theories have for those attempting to develop strategy for modern organizations.
By Day 4 of Week 5, post a 3-4 paragraph analysis of the impact of changes within a complex adaptive system (Walmart) on a transformation in an organization. Next, explain the potential impact of complex adaptive systems (Walmart) on leadership and innovation within an organization. Use examples of potential changes to the organization (Walmart) to support your response.
Extend the conversation by identifying implications for practice or research, as well as for your own research agenda, where appropriate. Be sure to integrate one or two new related, and engaging, questions that will extend the discussion about your post in constructive ways.

Dominant loss mechanism in type of laser
: Quantum cascade lasers do not suffer Auger processes due to the fact that intersubband interactions involve electrons only, and in the cladding layers the majority carriers are electrons. What is the dominant loss mechanism in this type of laser?

Edge-emitting laser with identical facets
: Consider an edge-emitting laser with identical facets. Find the mirror loss and threshold gain if nactive =3.2, a,=5 cm·1 and L=l mm. Now consider that one of the facets is coated with a dielectric/metal layer such that th..

Refractive index within the active region
: A laser diode has a gain peak between 4.45-4.65 µm, and we want to have only a single mode at 4.5 µm as output of this laser diode. What should be the length of the laser so that only a single mode is allowed within the laser? Take the refract..
