The authors incorporate such concepts as evolution, semiotics, entropy, complexity, emergence, crisis, and chaos theory in an intriguing alternative to crisis management that can be applied to any organization. Their model shows how to evaluate and share information to enable the organization to avoid disaster rather than simply respond to it. Additionally, the text presents the first attempt at a multi-disciplinary 606 $aCommunication in organizations 606 $aComplex organizations 606 $aInformation theory 606 $aInformation resources management 615 0$aCommunication in organizations. 615 0$aComplex organizations. 615 0$aInformation theory. 615 0$aInformation resources management. 676 $a302.3/5 676 $a658.45 700 $aDesouza$b Kevin C.$f1979-,$0894130 701 $aHensgen$b Tobin$01872724 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910967069003321 996 $aManaging information in complex organizations$94482491 997 $aUNINA
