Indeed, an entirely new definition of what it means to manage is called for. In The Biology of Business, John Clippinger and nine outstanding contributors introduce managers to the Complex Adaptive System (CAS) of management, a system that takes into account all of the variables that impact modern enterprises and allows managers to take control from the bottom up. Here, the authors show how McKinsey \u0026amp; Co., Capital One, and Optimark have employed CAS to achieve specific business goals and improve overall corporate fitness. And they bridge theory and practice to provide managers with proven tools and techniques they can use to transform their enterprises into self-renewing, self-organizing systems that are maximally responsive to changing market conditions and opportunities.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePreface: The Business World Turned Upside Down.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Order from the Bottom Up: Complex Adaptive Systems and Their Management.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e The End of Economic Certainty.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Leadership and Influence: The Managers as Coach, Nanny, and Artificial DNA.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Tags: The Power of Labels in Shaping Markets and Organizations.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Complex Adaptive Knowledge Management: A Case from McKinsey @ Company.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Seven Levers for Guiding the Evolving Enterprise.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Heterachy: Distributing Authority and Organizing Diversity.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Adaptive Operations: Creating Business Processes That Evolve.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Buying and Selling in the Digital Age: An Ever-Increasing Bandwidth of Desire.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Emergent Law and Order: Lessons in Regulation, Dispute Resolution, and Lawmaking for Electronic Commerce and Community.","brand":"John Wiley \u0026 Sons Inc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49405031481687,"sku":"9780787943240","price":24.79,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/the-biology-of-business-9780787943240","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
