Summary: "Businesses around the world are facing rapidly changing economic and social situations. Busienss leaders and managers must be ready to respond and adapt in new, innovative ways. This groundbreaking book argues that people in business must adopt a 'holonomic' way of thinking, a dynamic and authentic understanding of the relationships within a business system, and an appreciation of the whole. Complexity and chaos are not to be feared, but rather are the foundation of successful business structures and economics. Holonomics presents a new world view where economics and ecology are in harmony. Using real-world case studies and practical exercises, the authros guide the reader in a new, hlistic approach to business, towards a more sustainable future where both people and planet matter."--Back cover.
