• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

The perspective of complex responsive processes draws on analogies from the complexity sciences, bringing in the essential characteristics of human agents, understood to emerge in social processes of communicative interaction and power-relating. The result is a way of thinking about life in organizations that focuses attention on how organizational members cope with the unknown as they perpetually create organizational futures together. Providing a natural successor to the Editors' earlier series ("Complexity and Emergence in Organizations") this series, "Complexity as the Experience of Organizing," aims to take this work further by taking very seriously the experience of organizational practitioners, and showing how taking the perspective of complex responsive processes yields deeper insight into practice and so develops that practice.
