"Interpreting the work of such groundbreaking scientists as Charles Darwin, Stuart Kauffmann, Murray Gell-Mann, and John Holland, Dr. Fulmer illustrates that the business world, like the world of biology, is a complex system. For your company to succeed, he argues, it must become adaptive in the biological sense.". "Through examples from numerous innovators - including small entrepreneurial start-ups as well as giants such as Cisco, Microsoft, and Intel - you'll discover how leading-edge companies are dealing with a rapidly changing landscape. As a source of inspiration and a practical guide, Shaping the Adaptive Organization will convince you that "the edge of chaos" is in fact the best place for a company to be. Better yet, it will show you how to keep your balance there."--BOOK JACKET.
