Innovation Complexity in the Dynamic Development of an Enterprise: Case Study of the Innovation Marvel of the Shandong Mine Area

The purpose of this paper is to establish the methodology of complexity assessment for the innovation system, named as conception system. The article applies the theories and methods of mathematics, dynamics, information science, charting theories, relational mathematics, etc, to put forth the concepts, definitions, basic theorems and mathematical models of the information force, energy and structural complexity measure. Based on the basic theories of management entropy, it establishes a new set of the vectorial space, mathematical models of metric for assessing the innovation systems structural complexity, and proposes theorems of simplification and complexity decrease for innovation systems., The author utilizes the dynamic analyzing method as a case study; applies the complexity methodology to analyzing the dynamic causality of Shandong Company’s innovation and development courses; studies the perceptional complexity of the subsystems of the innovation system, such as conception, management, technology (which are non-structural and conceptual complexity systems), and mine development, production, technology, equipment, and working organization systems (which are structural complexity system known as technology complexity). Hopefully, the article attempts to decode the mystery of Shandong Company’s innovation marvel and explain the true essence of modernization enterprise’s jumping development.
