The Intelligence Advantage: Organizing for Complexity. Questo articolo non è disponibile.The Intelligence Advantage: Organizing for Complexity

Through the study of new ideas and advances in philosophy, science and technology, this book offers an understanding of the way that human beings create organizations. It gives a sense of clarity about organizations, how they operate and the kind of thinking needed to sustain their survival. These advances foster insight into ways of organizing productive activity that are consistent with the nature of human beings and society. Michael McMaster blends complexity with Postmodern thought and the work of the interdisciplinary group called the Santa Fe Institute to provide useful, understandable metaphors and analogies, as well as practical design principles and effective management and work practices.
