More than Coping: Thriving in a World of Wicked Problems

Sandra Waddock

International Food and Agribusiness Management Review, 2012, vol. 15, issue B, 6

Abstract: This essay asks whether it is possible to find ways of thriving in a world full of wicked problems—the most significant of which may be the sustainability crisis. Ensuring a healthful and adequate food supply comprised of nature-made foods rather than processed goods, demands collaborative actions, new leadership skills and the evolution of global action networks (GANs).
