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. 606 $aManagement 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aManagement. 676 $a658 700 $aHe?raud$b Jean-Alain$0883851 702 $aKerr$b Fiona 702 $aBurger-Helmchen$b Thierry 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910467471503321 996 $aCreative management of complex systems$91973991 997 $aUNINA
