The problem is that the more businesses expand to deal with growth (and then to maintain it), the more complexity increases organizational costs.
This has been done by seeking less expensive sources of labor and supply (frequently with corresponding complexity increases), and by squeezing greater efficiency out of the supply network.
Yet as complexity increases, man-made disasters become regular.

Pre-integrating the elements required to achieve efficient computing reduces complexity and increases the likelihood of wide adoption.
And that complexity only increases as they migrate from farm to fork.
This indicates that as the complexity of networks increases, visibility is increasingly becoming an issue.
Some experts, however, conclude that the addition of coalition warships, diplomatic working groups and private security firms, increases complexity and further confuses ship owners looking for simple solutions.

"As long as the need for software is high and the complexity of software projects increases, we'll continue to grow, " he says.
Even after years of optimization and automation, introducing detailed characters interacting with a fully voiced script in full 3D hugely increases the necessary complexity of models and their interactions in the world.

This means that the critical complexity (blue curve), which measures how much complexity a system can sustain without imploding, increases.
However, the existence of two different engine designs increases the likelihood of something going wrong either with the basic design or with maintenance procedures because additional complexity is introduced into the fleet.
