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.ManagementElectronic books.Management.658Héraud Jean-Alain883851Kerr FionaBurger-Helmchen ThierryMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910467471503321Creative management of complex systems1973991UNINA
