First, the importance of Descartes' rationalism and the ontological consequences of the Cartesian method are mentioned. In the second instance, the dilemmas that emerged in each of the scientific revolutions that were forged during the 20th century and that have to restructure the foundations of determinism and classical science are described. Finally, the seven principles of complexity and their action in transdisciplinarity in business innovation will be articulated. From this it is concluded, the importance of generating interdisciplinary strategies in companies, which, through the implementation of the scientific method, stimulate the processes of generating ideas in order to eliminate the blindness of knowledge, and with this, encourage innovation. in companies.
