Seeking theories on cycles and/or rhythms

    Hi everyone,

     

    I'm hoping you can help me find management theories that explicitly address cycles and/or rhythms. For example, control theory, self-regulation theory, or open systems theory would be examples.

     

    What other theories would you add to my list?

     

    Note that I'm looking only for theories that make the cycle an explicit part of the model/framework. So a theory that mentions a potential feedback loop or suggests that effects happen over time isn't exactly what I'm seeking. In addition, I already have the usual articles within the time literature such as those on entrainment, temporal structures, etc. I'm simply looking for additional examples of theory that may be embedded within a specific research stream.

     

    Thanks in advance for any suggestions you have!
