mechanistic worldview:
An ordered structure of a system can only be the outcome of pre-existing and externally imposed laws.
new thermodynamics, complexity theory:
Order can arise spontaneously from the web of interconnections between the system elements.
implications:
one should not try to define and control every aspect of the organization on the basis of general and universal laws. Instead, enhance communication and interactions within the organization, and let it find its own ways.
