Hello! I don't have time to set out my own point of view, but you might want to read Ralph Stacey's new series of books (beginning with COMPLEXITY AND MANAGEMENT (2000)). He has moved away from believing that organisations are complex adaptive systems, and argues that there are fundamental problems with viewing organisations entirely - or even primarily - as systems. Good wishes Ed
