Contents:
Contributors; Foreword; Author Biographies; 1 Introduction; 2 Ten Principles of Complexity and Enabling Infrastructures; 3 Social Systems and the Embodiment of Organisational Learning; 4 Organisational Diversity Configurations and Evolution; 5 Emergent Order in Firms Complexity Science vs the Entanglement Trap; 6 Evolutionary Dynamics of Industrial Clusters; 7 Complex Adaptive Social Systems Towards a Theory for Practice; 8 The Core of Adaptive Organisations; 9 Is There a Complexity Beyond the Reach of Strategy.
Summary: In January 1995 the first Complexity Seminar was held at the London School of Economics, in the UK. This was quite a momentous occasion as it proved to be the turning point for the series of seminars, which had started in December 1992. That seminar and those that followed it, had a profound effect on the research interests of Eve Mitleton-Kelly, the initiator and organiser of the series and editor of this volume, and thus laid the foundation for what became the LSE Complexity Research Programme, which proceeded to win several research awards for collaborative projects with companies.
