- catalog abstract "To what degree are our lives in reality governed by misguided notions? Do businesses in fact succeed by chance? Are societal and business forces and their effects perhaps not really understood at all? According to the three international authors who have come together to write this book, the real world cannot be understood in terms of conventional deterministic philosophies nor even of standard chaos theory. A new discipline is needed, one that recognizes that complexity in itself has a powerful but subtle role to play. The new discipline of "chaotics" introduced by the authors will alter our thinking about the real forces of change in our society. Beginning with the foundations of the discipline, their book applies chaotics to business and wealth creation and to society itself.".
