Resumen

The General Systems Theory studies several important properties of the systems, two of them is entropy and evolution. Entropy as a concept of thermodynamic has become a part of the systems language indicating the degree of disorder and disorganization of a system. Entropy can be considered as the progressive loss of the relationships that form a system that can be a human activity system. To be able to direct the human activity system at a bigger level of complexity and effectiveness, it is necessary to contemplate its entropy and evolution. Evolution, as a property of the systems, is a tangible fact observed at a different space and temporary scales. In the evolutionary process there are stable and unstable intermediate forms that facilitate bifurcation (evolutionary jumps), producing the emergency of new attributes. After the human appearance, the cognitive/learning processes marked the evolutionary stages. Maybe at this time, the humanity 's following evolutionary stage, could be the evolution directed to the knowledge of itself and to the realization of the selftrasendance; That stage is inherent to the human activity systems that are developed as a conscious unit. These two properties stay in a mutual interaction relationship, and they considerably affect the systems viable balance and transcendence in the organizations. Entropy and evolution are concepts that are identified as a part of the physics and biology but not as concepts of the management sciences. However, the explored scientific literature refers us that these concepts exist as phenomenon in the organizations. Therefore it is required the reconstruction of these two concepts for their use in the management sciences that a part of a new theory proposed named: "The Exelixic Theory of Organizations"
