This book is a general presentation of complex systems, examined from
the point of view of management. There is no standard formula to
govern such systems, nor to effectively understand and respond to
them.
The interdisciplinary theory of self-organization is teeming with
examples of living systems that can reorganize at a higher level of
complexity when confronted with an external challenge of a certain
magnitude.
Modern businesses, considered as complex systems, ideally know how
to flexibly and resiliently adapt to their environment, and also how to
prepare for change via self-organization. Understanding sources of
potential crisis is essential for leaders, though not all crises are
necessarily bad news, as creative firms know how to respond to
challenges through innovation: new products and markets,
organizational learning for collective intelligence, and more.
