DescriptionThis gem of a book introduces the extraordinary world of Systems Thinking and its Dean, Russell Ackoff, to curious and enquiring managers, teachers, business people - anyone, anywhere who works in an organization.Finished just before Professor Ackoffs death, Systems Thinking for Curious Managers opens the door to a joined up way of thinking about things that has profoundly influenced thinkers and doers in the fields of business, politics, economics, biology, psychology. Although Systems Thinking was invented early in the 20th century, even Peter Senges best-selling The Fifth Discipline (Systems Thinking is the fifth discipline) failed to popularise the term. But now, in business and academia, in the public sector and in the search for solutions to the environmental problems we face, Systems Thinking is being talked about everywhere. This timely book presents 40 more of Russ Ackoffs famously witty and incisive f-Laws (or flaws) of business - following on from his first collection Management f-Laws. All those in this collection are new and previously unpublished. Andrew Careys extended introduction ties these f-Laws into the rest of Ackoffs work and gives the reader new to Systems Thinking a guide to the implications of Systems Thinking for organisations and managers. The Foreword by Jamshid Gharajedaghi is a moving tribute from Ackoffs friend and business partner of many years.
