All the chapters of the book throw light on systemic properties relevant to organizations in terms of a common framework. The framework, known as the organizational cybernetic model, is one of the basic models in mathematical systems theory as well as in systems practice. The model explicitly formulates not only hierarchical and decentralized decision making function but also coordination mechanisms within and among organizations
Develops a comprehensive model of organizations by enriching the organizational cybernetic model with such approaches as agent-based modeling and evolutionary economics. In this sense, the book provides us with computational models

About this book
Drastic changes of the societies in the new century require new paradigm in every area of social science. Organizations study is not exception.
