Creative and innovative advanced book
An excellent framework for learning about how to balance (organizational) mission, vision, business, strategy, organizational learning, processes, and culture. Truly visionary book that elucidates concepts concerning processes, learning, knowledge, human, and strategies. I found the book to be an excellent framework for understanding the world of organizations.
I think that almost all MBA and graduate business students will deepen their knowledge and skills by thouroughly exploring this book. Even, Mintzburg has applied some of these authors concepts!

Looking foward to using this book
I am a graduate MIS student who hadc to buy this book for my course in Organizational Design. I started reading this book and found it to be very rich and innovative in terms of what an organization is and how to design the organization using an organization modeling (OM) framework. I could not believe what
vision and insight the authors had into the world of organizations. Some of the fascinating and useful ideas that they have invented are about the organizational knowledgeworld, how to balance vision, mission, business, strategy, tools, organiational molecules which can be used ot represent the formal and creative aspects of organizational domains, (early and late) knowledge binding (when, where and by whom is knowledge applied to a process, etc. This book is concept rich, deep, purposeful, and relative to my future as an oganizatinal strategist. Numerous good tables, diagrams, and illustrations of their ideas and practical applications.
Truly a pioneering book. Good job Stevens profs.

Exceptional book for advanced management students!
The research that I undertook using this book led me to discover the other chapters of this book. I also discovered that all the chapters are very interlinked (i.e., the book is systematic). At the same time I discovered a certain surprise that the complex work of modeling can become an easier task by utilizing the concepts and tools found in this book. Organisation Modeling : Innovative Architecture for the 21th Century is a book I warmly recommend to those whose ane interested in the modeling of organizations and information technology. I hope that the research that was undertaken by my class will be useful for other students who are interested in this domain especially in the approach taken in this book.
