The theories of Chaos and Complexity have begun to change the way we think in many scientific fields, both natural and social sciences. Particularly in the field of business management, the change in vocabulary used to describe organization and management is remarkable: the business is no longer seen as a hierarchical, rigid, top-down imposed structure, but as an emerging, self-organizing order.

"Chaos, Complexity and Management" is the most comprehensive yet highly accessible guide to the theories of Complexity and Chaos applied to business management. Batram, a consultant on organizational learning for the Local Government Association of Great Britain, skillfully introduces the reader to the concepts of chaos, complex adaptive systems, self-organization, etc., and demonstrates how these concepts help us rethink the fundamental parameters of business operations.

The book is filled with icons, diagrams, and specific applications of the theories of Complexity and Chaos, making it extremely user-friendly and approachable. It represents a truly radical new way of thinking that overturns many traditional views on the concepts of organization and management. After reading the book, the reader feels how fluid the so-called organizational structures are and, consequently, how full of possibilities for creative action the world is.
