Platform for Change: A Message from Stafford Beer

Platform for Change: A Message from Stafford Beer by Beer, Stafford. Paperback edition. ISBN: 9780471061892.

"Stafford Beer is undoubtedly among the worlds most provocative, creative, and profound thinkers on the subject of management, and he records his thinking with a flair that is unmatched. His writing is as much art as it is science. He is the most viable system I know."— Dr Russell L Ackoff , The Institute for Interactive Management, Pennsylvania. USA This is a highly original book both in content and format. It presents thirteen arguments for change, these are linked by a personal commentary, and by a deeper, metalinguistic, commentary. Platform for Change is completelyself-contained, does not deal at all with the nature of viable systems, but is directed towards the hope that ourplanet may yet remain viable--and the human race survive.
