The Complex Business of Corporate Responsibility

Malcolm McIntosh

Chapter Chapter 5 in Raising a Ladder to the Moon, 2003, pp 109-121 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Evolution is chaos with feedback, which gives us complex patterns. Our organisations and our systems of orderliness are like snowflakes. Snowflakes, beautiful to the human eye, are in a state of nonequilibrium and bound by the energy of metamorphosis between one state and another. Each is unique but they display patterns, patterns that are replicable in science but not computable in nature, each flake being different.
