{"product_id":"9781461276609","title":"Context and Complexity: Cultivating Contextual Understanding","description":"An original view of interdisciplinary thinking and its applications is given in this book. It aims to help the reader develop a contextual way to understand and act in complex situations. The book is based on a G-type principle: heterogenetic, interactive and pattern-generating. Each chapter is not only interdisciplinary, but also contextual and relational. They correspond to each of the six ways of cultivating contextual understanding. Five of the chapters give concrete examples; three of them center on examples from business management. This is because business management has become a frontier of complexity requiring contextual thinking; it is useful epistemologically to those in the humanities, social and natural sciences. The sixth chapter theoretically summarizes all the concrete examples.","brand":"Springer New York","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47015327564016,"sku":"9781461276609","price":110.69,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781461276609_p0.jpg?v=1763673197","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781461276609","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
