Synopsis
This book explores the impact of cybernetics on business organizations, arguing that it is an essential tool for managing change and uncertainty. The author draws on history and economics, showing that cybernetics has helped us understand the process of adjustment of organizations and individuals. The book also examines the relationship between entropy, information, and cybernetic control, discussing the misconceptions that prevent effective cybernetic use. By explaining the limitations of purely random adaptation, the author advocates the use of selective search and adaptation to cope with complex disturbances. In addition, the book explores how hierarchical structures can be used for both planning and control of operations, providing a framework for the efficient partitioning and structuring of complex issues.
