Publisher Synopsis
<p>."..Defining 'discipline' is somewhat more complicated, and the authors break the term into three parts: an area on knowledge and competence that members of an organization need to develop over time (within-discipline expertise); openness to ideas that foster creativity (out-of-discipline thinking); and 'a systematic approach, or disciplined process, to generating, testing, and using ideas.' In the chapters that follow, the authors diligently define and illustrate these terms using a variety of stories and models. They must be credited with their own creative discipline in attempting to capture the essence of what it takes to succeed in an ever-changing global environment and the difficult task of defining and combining terms that are difficult to grasp. Recommended. Professional audiences." - <p>Choice Read more...
