Professor Flood's book explains and critiques the ideas in straight forward terms. This book makes significant and fundamental improvements to the core discipline - systemic thinking. It establishes crucial developments in systemic thinking in the context of the learning organisation, including creativity and organisational transformation. It is therefore a very important text for strategic planners, organisational change agents and consultants.The main features 606 $aManagement$xPhilosophy 615 0$aManagement$xPhilosophy. 676 $a658 700 $aFlood$b Robert L$0127224 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910816363303321 996 $aRethinking the fifth discipline$93914689 997 $aUNINA
