A major challenge of our times is to understand and manage the
increasing complexity of socio-economic reality. This has immediate
relevance for sustainable development. The impact of recent
contributions from systems and complexity sciences in addressing
this issue has not filtered down into effective practice - notably,
there remain problems caused by the legacy of competing paradigms
and the application of their associated methodologies. This book
argues the urgency for the application of analytical tools that
embody the principles of complexity management. The authors
describe a theoretical framework based on complexity science with a
focus on organisational and second order cybernetics, one that
presents a powerful new insight into the concept of sustainability.
The book also describes actual applications of the ideas in the
area of organisational, societal and environmental management, and
reflects upon the impact of such an approach on current practice.
