Hi Rachel, You might be interested to know that the late Brenda Zimmernman and I named Holling's adaptive cycle the "ecocycle" in our article, “From Life Cycle to Ecocycle: A New Perspective on the Growth, Maturity, Destruction, and Renewal of Complex Systems.” Journal of Management Inquiry, (1994), 3(4) (December): 339-54 I wrote about some of the implications for management in my 1995 book Crisis & Renewal (HBS Press) and again in 2012 in The New Ecology of Leadership (Columbia University Press). I teach the ecocycle as a sense-making framework on masters-level classes at McGill and McMaster universities. As your article shows the implications are both pervasive and profound!
