This is not a book about how to run a company. It is about how to look at the world differently. Ultimately, this will help the reader deal with complexity more effectively. The market today is flooded with books that claim to show paths to higher organizational effectiveness. Most of these recommendations are presented as "recipes for success" and based on pragmatic grounds. This book, however, is targeted at those who want access to the powerful models of systemic management to improve their skills in coping with complexity. The contents are of interest to people who deal with organizations—whether as leaders, managers, specialists, or advanced students. The purpose is to provide conceptual and methodological guidelines through which they can increase the "intelligence" of existing organizations by introducing or substituting a better design.
