Product Description
Product Description
"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.
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 completely
self–contained, does not deal at all with
the nature of viable systems, but is
directed towards the hope that our
planet may yet remain viable––and the
human race survive.
