Complexity theory is changing the way leading management thinkers are looking at organisations. No longer seen as hierarchical and rigid structures, organisations are now being recognised as emergent, living systems which cannot be defined by traditional organisational design and practice.
Navigating Complexity is the first comprehensive introduction to the key language and concepts of complexity and how they relate to the new world of work. It explores the profound, yet practical, implications of these concepts, and demonstrates how organisations are 'complex adaptive systems' to which a whole new set of management ideas now apply.
