Stafford Beer was ' one of the most remarkable figures which British operational research has produced...he founded two major and pioneering OR groups; wrote some of the best books about the subject; and was a world leader in the development of systems ideas ' (extract from obituary- OR newsletter).
'This is a well-written book on a complex subject that uses helpful examples taken for actual organizations' (Quality World, January 2010).
