How can complexity be managed in cases where it cannot be reduced? The answers to these questions are anything but trivial, and can only be found by combining insights from complexity science, system dynamics, system theory and systems thinking. Rooted in the seminal works of Gregory Bateson, Jay Forrester, Donella Meadows, Peter Senge, W. Brian Arthur, John Sterman and Thomas Schelling, this book bridges the gap between rigorous science and real-life experience to explore the potential and limitations of leverage points in implementing policies and strategies. It also presents diagnostic tools to help recognize system archetypes, as well as the powerful language of stock and flow diagrams, which allows us to think in terms of circular causality. These tools are subsequently employed to thoroughly analyze particularly thorny problems such as global climate change, the tragedy of the commons, path dependence, diffusion of innovations, and exponential growth of inequality. 001360255 650_0 $$aLeadership. 001360255 650_0 $$aPublic administration. 001360255 650_0 $$aEconomic policy. 001360255 650_0 $$aPolitical science. 001360255 655_0 $$aElectronic books 001360255 7730_ $$tSpringer eBooks 001360255 77608 $$iPrint version:$$z9783030016432 001360255 830_0 $$aManagement for professionals,$$x2192-8096 001360255 852__ $$bebk 001360255 85640 $$3Springer Nature$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-030-01645-6$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 001360255 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1360255$$pGLOBAL_SET 001360255 980__ $$aBIB 001360255 980__ $$aEBOOK 001360255 982__ $$aEbook 001360255 983__ $$aOnline 001360255 994__ $$a92$$bISE
