"Stafford Beer is undoubtedly among the world's 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. "If . anyone can make it Operations
Research] understandably readable and positively interesting it is
Stafford Beer . everyone in management . should be grateful to him
for using clear and at times elegant English and . even elegant
diagrams." The Economist This is the second edition of a book which
has already become a management 'standard' both in universities and
on the bookshelves of managers and their advisers. Brain of the
Firm develops an account of the firm based upon insights derived
from the study of the human nervous system, and is a basic text
from the author's theory of viable systems. Despite the
neurophysiology, the book is written for managers to understand.
The companion volume to this book is The Heart of Enterprise, which
is intended to support and complement this text. "Stafford Beer's
works represent required reading for everyone who believes that a
capacity for rigorous thinking is an essential attribute of today's
successful managers and administrators. Brain of the Firm shows a
first-rate intellect at work and provides concepts, models and
inspiration for both practitioners and teachers." Sir Douglas
Hague, CBE
