ABSTRACT

Introduction: Thanks to studious like Edgar Morín, today we understand that the analysis of any aspect of human experience must be seen in a multifaceted way. However, the complexity of the organization to which one belongs is not always investigated. This type of analysis is increasingly necessary since it allows adaptation to the environment changes and the organization resilience.
Objective: The present manuscript offered some valuations about the Tropical Medicine Institute "Pedro Kourí" (IPK) from the perspective of the complexity theory.
Development: the most important transformations of IPK since its foundation, the most relevant aspects of its components diversity, as well as the dialectical interconnection among such components and with the environment are related from the perspective of the complexity theory.
Conclusions: given that the level of complexity of an organization is determined by its structure, human behavior, the processes and technologies, IPK can easily be recognized as a complex system in every organization level and in turn to the relation with other national and international organizations.
