"Change only begins with acceptance. ... understanding and accepting chaos conceptually is an important first step towards modern management education. This ... offers a great opportunity for executives to interpret and to deal effectively, with what is happening in the global business world of today.
In recent decades, a business organisation could still afford to plan and to move slowly; to set modest incremental goals, and to centre itself around a tight, control-oriented bureaucracy. This system of organisation was... designed to fight chaos. It seeks efficiency not innovation and, because it requires a whole chain of “yes’s” before something new can happen, it can only change itself slowly. One “no” in the chain will shoot down any new project. Today’s environment no longer tolerates such organised sluggishness." (Rowley & Roevens, 2007, p.27)
