Developing great organisations ...
 ... in a sea of change

This page has a variety of papers listed, covering several different aspects of management.

The main section is on subjects relating to change. The Janus series includes insights prompted by considering organisations and organisational behaviour in the light of lessons learned from the natural sciences.

There is a section on more general management topics, including recruitment and skills development. Finally, there is also a section with several papers describing case studies of applications of methodologies in the Magus Toolbox.

All documents are provided as PDF files and may be downloaded, providing only that the publisher’s property rights and copy rights are preserved.
