Holistic Flexibility for Systems Thinking and Practice
This book explores how the conceptual lens of Holistic Flexibility presents new advancements in systems thinking. Systems thinking is often associated with frameworks and methodologies that often confine the discipline to academic circles in operations research and management science (OR/MS).

The book presents both theoretical deliberations and practitioner cases of Holistic Flexibility. The development of systems thinking in OR/MS is described leading to the latest debates on the subject and the key pillars of Holistic Flexib...

Der Weltreporter
Haarsträubend komisch, auf erschreckende Weise prophetisch und zugleich schneidend realistisch, ein Feuerwerk der Phantasie und sokratischen Weltweisheit: Als hätten Stanislaw Lem, P. G. Wodehouse, Arno Schmidt und Wolf Haas zusammen einen Roman geschrieben. Nein, eigentlich wollte sich Julia Bacharach gerade gar nicht verlieben. Nicht in einer fast leeren Hotelbar in diesen Umständen (draußen ist gerade Lockdown und wegen einer Epidemie kommen nur die wenigen herein, die immun sind) und erst recht nicht in einen Typen wie Bodo von Unruh. Aber sie ist unvoreingenommen und neugierig und er reist für ein Magazin um die ganze Welt und recherchiert Geschichten, die bewusstseinserweiternder ...
