"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 companion volume to Brain of
the Firm and addresses the nature of viable systems, those capable
of surviving. It does not use the neurophysiological basis
elucidated in brain, but develops the same theory from first
principles. This book declares that every enterprise is a system,
and in particular must be a viable system. Viability is not just a
matter of economic solvency; we need laws that govern the capacity
of any enterprise to maintain independent existence. The Heart of
Enterprise is full of examples (actual, author-generated examples)
taken from management practice. "I consistently find that Stafford
Beer provides the most useful analytical framework for
understanding and managing an enterprise--public or private. Heart
of The Enterprise offers a demanding but rewarding exposition of
his approach and applications." Sir Douglas Hague. CBE
