- catalog abstract ""The authors look carefully at the theoretical foundations of the ways the complexity sciences are being used to understand the sources of stability and change in organizations. As well as offering a thorough critique of the different ways in which complexity thinking is being taken up, this book, the first of a series, lays the ground for a new project. This project, which goes to the roots of Western thought, understands organizations as complex responsive processes of relating. It draws on the complexity sciences as a source domain of analogies, interpreting them through a relationship psychology that draws on the tradition of Hegel, Mead and Elias. The authors show how complexity thinking focuses attention on the emergence of genuine novelty in everyday processes of communicative action." "This book is essential reading for anyone interested in strategy, organization and management theory, and organizational change."--BOOK JACKET.".
