should be grateful to him for using clear and at times elegant English and?even elegant diagrams."-The EconomistIn Brain of the Firm and The Heart of Enterprise Stafford Beer worked out the scientific laws that govern any viable system. They constitute the basis for this book which is concerned solely with the application of those laws to the understanding of any particular enterprise.
