Abstract
Develops the idea of complexity and its implications for our understanding of organisations and society. One such implication is the constitution of a utonomous units within autonomous units. This notion is at the core of recu rsive organisations. Each of these autonomous rr,units requires strengtheni ng in its identity, cohesion and citizenship in order to perform well in it s medium However, in contemporary societies the rule is fragmented institut ions rather than whole organisations. Further research is necessary in orde r to understand how to make more likely the emergence in society of recursi ve organisations.
