Abstract

This paper explores the integration of Hoffman’s Perception Theory and Klir’s System Theory to enhance Collaborative Networks (CN). Hoffman’s theory emphasizes subjective experiences and cognitive processes, focusing on survival and growth, while Klir’s theory introduces a hierarchical model of systems, highlighting the importance of supportive variables including time and space in dynamic situations. By combining these perspectives, the paper proposes a dual-framework approach to improve adaptability and resilience in CNs. Using the COVID-19 pandemic response and Global Supply Chain Management as case studies, we demonstrate the practical advantages of this integrated model in navigating complex, nonlinear environments.
