Informationen zum Autor Dee Hock is founder and CEO emeritus of VISA. In 1991, Hock became one of thirty living Laureates of the Business Hall of Fame, and in 1992 was recognized by Money magazine as one of the eight individuals who most changed the way people live in the previous quarter century. Klappentext Dee Hock's fascinating story of the creation of VISA was first told in Birth of the Chaordic Age; now, One From Many includes updated examples of today's most prominent chaordic organisations One From Many makes a compelling case that all organisations are fundamentally based on flawed seventeenth century concepts that are no longer relevant to the vast systemic social and environmental problems we experience daily. He delineates a path to creating organisations that are based on chaordic principles-organisations that he believes can harmoniously blend chaos and order, competition and cooperation. One From Many is filled with concepts, ideas and philosophy that challenge our fundamental beliefs about money, organisations, leadership, management, the human spirit and our relationship to the natural world. Zusammenfassung Far more than a riveting inside story of the creation of VISA—now the largest commercial enterprise on earth— One from Many is an absorbing story of personal and institutional transformation. Lyrical! profound! often humorous! it explores the ever-increasing change! complex societal problems! and failing institutions that confront us all. Dee Hock chronicles the emergence of a new form of organization that blends chaos and order! which may be critical to a livable future! and shows how it is emerging in such effective organizations as VISA! the Internet! World Weather Watch! and Alcoholics Anonymous. A beautiful blend of history! biography! and philosophy! One from Many not only challenges the way we think about organizations! management! and our relationship to the natural world! it's a rollicking fine story as well.
