Scientific circle “Self-organization of socio-economic systems”
The aim is to acquaint students with the modern scientific paradigm, the core of which is synergetics, with the synergetic methodology of research of socio-economic systems.
The modern world is characterized by instability, diversity, ambiguity. The effectiveness of the individual in a dynamic world depends largely on his worldview, understanding of the modern scientific paradigm, awareness of the principles of development of society and the interaction of nature and society. According to many researchers, the role of a new worldview can be played by synergetics – a general theory of self-organization and evolution of complex systems.
Synergetics emphasizes that socio-economic systems can go through a hierarchy of unsustainable development, and they may have increasingly complex structures. Such instabilities can be caused by the influence of both internal and external factors, and can lead to a new spatio-temporal organization of the system: the emergence of structural changes, the existence of boundary cycles, chaos and more. To master the synergetic methodology, it is important for future economists to understand the essence of such concepts as bifurcation, boundary cycle, attractor, deterministic chaos.
In order to acquaint students with the basic ideas of synergetics as a modern scientific paradigm, with the synergetic methodology of socio-economic systems, at the Department of Economic Cybernetics began work scientific group “Self-organization of socio-economic systems”, head – Ph.D. Associate Professor Kolomiets S.V.
As part of the circle, it is planned to organize thematic seminars, round tables to discuss research results; preparation of students for participation in conferences, etc.
We hope that acquaintance with the elements of synergetics will give students the opportunity to learn more about the modern scientific paradigm, contribute to the formation of scientific thinking that corresponds to the modern scientific picture of the world when the standards of classical science can not be applied.
