[OCR is approximate, as always] "Open Boundaries is an important contribution to managing in this completely new and uncertain era in business. Sherman and Schultz offer valuable insights into the principles that underlie strategic decision making and compel the reader to challenge their cognitive bound-aries, open their thought processes, and stimulate creativity by embracing complexity." —Dave Begley, Director of Strategic Innovation, Ball Aerospace & Technologies Corporation "Challenging false certainties and acknowledging true uncertainties are part of the hard work of management. Open Boundaries opens the mind to these important tasks." -Adam Brandenburger, Professor, Harvard Business School, and coauthor of Co-opetition "In Open Boundaries, Sherman and Schultz apply the notion of co-evolution to the domain of ideas-how they influence and are influenced by the environment. Paradoxically, by emphasizing thinking—or more precisely-how to think about our complex world, this book is highly pragmatic, by demonstrating how ideas influence and affect action in businesses and organizations, and how they can become generative and innovative." —Eve Mitleton-Kelly, Director, Complexity and Organisational Learning Research Programme, London School of Economics "Science has probed deeply into the nature of our world and discovered realities that have exploded our technological growth, while organizational science remains based on old scientific rules. In Open Boundaries, Sherman and Schultz have found ways to apply these understandings to our business organizations. They combine examples from history. philoso-phy, science, and business in an inspirational look into possibilities that will create quantum leaps in business performance. I recommend this book to anyone who has the courage to transform his or her organization." -Paul Walker, Managing Principal, Senn-Delany Leadership Consulting Group «2018» Take a close look at the auction images for details of contents and condition.
