This is a book about understanding how organizations work (or don't work!). From the perspective of complex adaptive systems theory, Ollhoff and Walcheski have created an accessible overview of organizational function and dysfunction. The book is light-hearted without being superficial, humorous without being distracting, and is full of examples and metaphors to illuminate the important concepts.
Jim Ollhoff is the Associate Dean of Human Services at Concordia University in St. Paul, Minnesota.
Michael Walcheski is the Chair of the Family Studies Deparment at Concordia University in St. Paul, Minnesota.
