Title: too generic and hard to put it into practical use
Review: Overall, I think the book is too generic, only touching the surface of complexity/organizational theory. Hard for me to get any good action steps/tips for my practical job.The author pointed out three points of "Complex Adaptive System"- variation- interaction- selectionIt looks like something new. However, the author only talks on the very surface level of these three concepts. He explained why variation/interaction/selection is good to corporate organization, just as it is good for living beings. Yet, you can't find specific action steps to work on. In addition, if we do not go into deeper level (or new meaning), these three concepts will be just like old concepts with new names (i.e. diversity/teamwork/performance evaluation).Net, I find this book is hard for practical use, and only recommend it to people who are extremely interested in complexity theory.
