Synopsis
Today, as individuals and as a society, we are faced with highly complex challenges. When we don't solve them correctly they rapidly become crises. This book explains how we can use complex systems research to solve complex problems in: * healthcare * education * military conflict * ethnic violence and terrorism * international development. Highly complex problems cannot be solved by any one individual. Traditional organizations, traditional forms of control and planning are not effective. Making Things Work draws on insights from complex systems research about emergence, complexity, patterns, networks and evolution. It explains how effective organizations form through cooperation and competition, and how to make non-hierarchical distributed organizational structures effective at their tasks.

    Seller was very prompt with communication. It took about a little while for the seller to ship out the item, but the shipping itself was quick! The freddy was brand new in packing with the tag just as described! It’s very rare to find a brand new one. Overall good experience, would recommend this seller!
