Organizations have similar system dynamics to living beings. The books Autopoiesis and Cell Culture have already examined the mechanisms of growth and adaptability of cells and transferred them to the world of management. Business Entropy now examines the physical and chemical foundations on which something like life is possible. It is about change, inertia, energy and entropy. It deals with the question of how stability is possible, how processes can be accelerated through catalysis and how order can arise in living beings despite the second law of thermodynamics. The book offers a journey from Galileo and Newton to thermodynamics and biochemistry and translates these concepts into the world of organizations
This book explores a process perspective on design and development, grounded in research in design studies, engineering design and systems design. The design and development process is important---it creates all artificial products and systems and determines how well they address human needs. The process perspective set out in this book has value for design and development practice and education, and is in its own right a fascinating topic of investigation. This book expands on the foundations of a process perspective and discusses its realisation in many process models, theories and approaches that have been developed over the years. The chapters provide connected overviews of key concepts ...
Between Theory and Practice in Architectural Design: Imagination and Interdisciplinarity in the Art of Building examines the intersection of philosophy and practice in architecture, exploring life, viability, and interdisciplinary collaboration and offering practical design insights for all beings.

Additionally, it emphasises interdisciplinary design thinking and introduces a platform for viable and agile AI-assisted design. The book provides practical case studies highlighting h...
Es ist ein offenes Geheimnis: Unsere Organisationen funktionieren mehr schlecht als recht. Darin liegt das Kernproblem und überraschenderweise zugleich die Lösung. Denn wir brauchen keine neuen Konzepte und Rahmenbedingungen, wir brauchen keine besseren Führungskräfte und keine anderen Politiker. Nötig sind nur Organisationen, die lernen wollen, die heutige Komplexität und Dynamik zu beherrschen. Organisationen also, die nicht an Ort und Stelle treten und den Wandel ausbremsen. Dieses Buch beschreibt die Neurologie des Unternehmens als dritte Dimension des Organisierens. In der Tradition des St. Galler Management-Modells stellt der Autor ein Modell vor, das sich am menschlichen Nervens...
