Ian Mitroff, Can Alpaslan

Swans, Swine, and Swindlers

Coping with the Growing Threat of Mega-Crises and Mega-Messes

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Swans, Swine, and Swindlers argues that we must view crises as "messes": webs of complex and dynamically interacting ill-defined and/or wicked problems, conundrums, paradoxes, puzzles, crises; their solutions; and our conscious and unconscious assumptions, beliefs, emotions, and values. Working systematically with this concept, the text digs deeper into the causes, mitigation, and management of crises.
