Business Entropy: On the emergence of order in living beings and organizations - Paperback

by Clemens Dachs (Author)

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
