Organizational Systems: Managing Complexity with the Viable System Model de Raul Espejo

Organizational Systems: Managing Complexity with the Viable System Model

Autor Raul Espejo, Alfonso Reyes
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 2 apr 2011
Organizational Systems clarifies the application of cybernetic ideas, particularly those of Beer's Viable System Model, to organizational diagnosis and design. Readers learn to appreciate the relevance of seeing the systemic coherence of the world. The book argues that many of the problems we experience today are routed in our practice of fragmenting that needs to be connected as a whole. It offers a method to study and design organizations and a methodology to deal with implementation problems. It is the outcome of many years of working experience with government offices as well as with all kinds of public and private enterprises. At a more detailed level this book offers an in depth discussion of variety engineering that is not available either in the primary or secondary literature.
