One from Many

<b>Far more than a riveting inside story of the creation of VISA--now the largest commercial enterprise on earth--<i>One from Many</i> is an absorbing story of personal and institutional transformation. <p/></b>Lyrical profound and often humorous it explores the ever-increasing change complex societal problems and failing institutions that confront us all. <p/>Dee Hock chronicles the emergence of a new form of organization that blends chaos and order which may be critical to a livable future and shows how it is emerging in such effective organizations as VISA the Internet World Weather Watch and Alcoholics Anonymous. <p/>A beautiful blend of history biography and philosophy <i>One from Many</i> not only challenges the way we think about organizations management and our relationship to the natural world but it's a rollicking fine story as well.
