Declares that we need laws that govern the capacity of any enterprise to maintain independent existence. Packed with examples from management practice.<br /> <br /> ==About the Book==<br /> This is the companion volume to Brain of the Firm and addresses the nature of viable systems, those capable of surviving. It does not use the neurophysiological basis elucidated in brain, but develops the same theory from first principles. This book declares that every enterprise is a system, and in particular must be a viable system. Viability is not just a matter of economic solvency; we need laws that govern the capacity of any enterprise to maintain independent existence. The Heart of Enterprise is full of examples (actual, author-generated examples) taken from management practice.<br /> <br /> ==References==<br /> &lt;references /&gt;<br /> <br /> [[Category: Books]]<br /> [[Category: Books by Stafford Beer]]<br /> [[Category: Books by Systems Scientists]]</div>
