Chapter 1 in Super-Flexibility for Knowledge Enterprises, 2010, pp 1-13 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract These are challenging times for business entities. We face the restructuring of the global financial system, complex geopolitical challenges, environmental concerns, generational differences, social tensions, ethical dilemmas, widespread diffusion of technology and legislative demands for compliance and transparency. Knowledge workers struggle to create balanced life styles, to prioritize in the face of overwhelming demands, and to juggle the combined pressures of collaborative teamwork and personal impact. The world of business is ready for innovation and creative thinking. We are truly at a critical inflection point, prompting us to think out of the box, and to pioneer new approaches and novel practices.
