But when applied, they reveal the key to highly refined organization functioning.\u003cbr\u003e\nIn The Unshackled Organization, consultant and management professor Jeffrey Goldstein examines new territory with his exploration into how change happens within an organization. Utilizing leading-edge scientific and social theories about change, including non-linear, far-from-equilibrium, chaos theory, and system dynamics, Goldstein shows that only through \"self-organization\" can natural, lasting change occur.\u003cbr\u003e\nThe theory behind \"self-organization\" arises from the idea of allowing and even amplifying unpredictable fluctuation rather than abolishing or controlling it. In other words, don't fight it! Change imposed from above often is not accepted with open arms by employees. But out of the chaos of change that emerges from within the organization will come long-lasting, structural improvements instead of short-term, Band-Aid solutions.\u003cbr\u003e\nThis is a dramatic new way of looking at change, one that means rethinking how change happens within an organization and how you can encourage the process. This book is a pragmatic guide for managers, executives, consultants, and other change agents. More than an academic discourse on a new theory of change, it is filled with real-world examples about diverse types of change in a variety of business and service organizations. This is information you can start using today to support true change within your organization.\u003cbr\u003e\nContents\u003cbr\u003e\nPublisher's Message\u003cbr\u003e\nPreface\u003cbr\u003e\nChapter One: New Wine Skins\u003cbr\u003e\nChapter Two: Growth in Nonlinear Systems\u003cbr\u003e\nChapter Three: The Dynamics of Self-Organization\u003cbr\u003e\nChapter Four: From Resistance to Attraction\u003cbr\u003e\nChapter Five: The Equilibrium Effect of Self-Fulfilling Prophecies\u003cbr\u003e\nChater Six: Generating Far-From-Equilibrium Conditions\u003cbr\u003e\nChapter Seven: Working With Boundaries\u003cbr\u003e\nChapter Eight: Differences That Make A Difference\u003cbr\u003e\nChapter Nine: The Cauldron of Change\u003cbr\u003e\nChapter Ten: The Magic Theatre\u003cbr\u003e\nEpilogue\u003cbr\u003e\nNotes\u003cbr\u003e\nAbout the Author\u003cbr\u003e\nIndex, ISBN13: 9781563270482 ISBN10: 156327048X Material Type: hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"CheapBookDepot","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46111872876707,"sku":"TN_STR_H00008BY","price":15.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0607\/9227\/5107\/files\/61650HD40PL.jpg?v=1754642267","url":"https:\/\/usedbookdepot.com\/products\/the-unshackled-organization-facing-the-challenge-of-unpredictability-through-spontaneous-reorganization","provider":"Used Book Depot","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
