Summary

In Corporate Policy and Governance, Fredmund Malik offers insight into his cybernetic toolkit along with instructions for its use. He argues that businesses and other societal institutions can function "autodynamically"-in much the same fashion that modern technology steers, controls, and regulates itself-by adopting general systems policies. Explaining the way that organizations must be structured so they can organize themselves, Malik presents his cybernetic general management system for the age of complexity in this compelling book that every corporate executive should read.
