Hardcover. Condizione: Near Fine. Condizione sovraccoperta: Near Fine. 1st Edition. First Edition (Number Line to 1). Flat-signed by John Henry Clippinger III on the first front end paper. Both the book and the dust jacket look pretty much new. You can see the covers of the book in the photos. They are exceptionally clean. There isn't any wear at the corners or edges. There is a little crinkling at the spine ends. The page edges are perfectly clean. The book is square and very solidly bound from cover to cover with nicely tight pages throughout. There are no binding issues. These pages are perfectly clean. I'm not seeing any soiling. I'm also not seeing any creasing. There are no markings. No attachments. And with the exception of the editor's signature, no one has written their name or anything else anywhere in the book. The dust jacket looks pretty much perfect. It is exceptionally clean. There are no tears. The flaps are in excellent condition, very clean. The jacket is NOT price-clipped, not clipped at all. It will be fitted with a protective cover after the photos are scanned. Mr. Clippinger has a fairly long and interesting Wikipedia profile that you can take a look at. 'Increasingly volatile, and complex, today's organizations cannot be controlled by any conventional approach to management. Indeed, an entirely new definition of what it means to manage is called for. In The Biology of Business, John Clippinger and nine outstanding contributors introduce managers to the Complex Adaptive System (CAS) of management, a system that takes into account all of the variables that impact modern enterprises and allows managers to take control from the bottom up. Here, the authors show how McKinsey & Co., Capital One, and Optimark have employed CAS to achieve specific business goals and improve overall corporate fitness. And they bridge theory and practice to provide managers with proven tools and techniques they can use to transform their enterprises into self-renewing, self-organizing systems that are maximally responsive to changing market conditions and opportunities.'.
