More DescriptionWeaving Complexity and Business brings business people a new way of thinking about and working in the new economy, one that draws on the new science of complexity, which recognizes that business organizations are complex adaptive systems, in which people are crucial but unpredictable factors in their development. It offers managers and companies a deeper understanding of the organizational dynamics of today's fast-paced/changing business environment both within companies and among them.

The book also contains detailed case studies of successful UK and US companies that have embraced the principles of complexity science.
