Description
Summary:Approaches based around complexity theory are increasingly being used in the study of organisations and the delivery of services.

It brings together experts in this emerging field to address complexity theory from a range of perspectives (positivist, realist, and constructivist), providing a detailed but accessible discussion of the key issues to whole systems approaches.
