Richard T. Pascale, in his application of complexity theory to change and innovation, emphasized the dynamic, self-organizing nature of complex systems. He argued that strict control and surveillance are counterproductive in such environments, as they stifle the natural processes of adaptation and emergence. The other options (A, C, D) align with his views on how complex organizations operate and adapt, highlighting the importance of disequilibrium, complex problem-solving, and the inherent uncontrollability of complex systems.
