Abstract: Abstract Daniel A. Levinthal’s recent book “Evolutionary Processes and Organizational Adaptation” represents a landmark synthesis of several decades of his thinking about organizational adaptation, informed by an evolutionary perspective. I highlight the central idea of the challenge of offering normative advice in a world of substantial complexity—and note that the book offers promising pathways towards meeting this challenge.
