As we manage under increasing conditions of uncertainty, methods based on expert analysis fail to provide the flexibility and responsiveness needed in the modern organisation.
Scientific management is bounded and limited by the paradigms of the growing knowledge economy.
This presentation will explore some of the radical new thinking emerging from the application of complexity science to management. In this talk I will discuss some of the issues that arise in nanorobot construction, and then focus on nanomanipulation. I will discuss experiments in constructing nanostructures by positioning nanoparticles with the AFM, and then linking them chemically. This work has been done in ambient air or in a liquid, and at room temperature. Dr. Requicha's current research is focused on the science and engineering required to interact with the nanometer-scale world.
