Summary

Winner of the PMA Ben Franklin award, Dee Hock's inspiring story of the creation of the hugely successful VISA corporation was told in Birth of the Chaordic Age. This newly revised edition adds updated examples of today's most prominent chaordic (both chaotic and orderly) organizations, including the internet, World Weather Watch and Alcoholics Anonymous, as well as the dark side such as terrorist organizations and organized crime.

Author Biography

Dee Hock is founder and CEO emeritus of VISA. In 1991, Hock became one of thirty living Laureates of the Business Hall of Fame, and in 1992 was recognized by Money magazine as one of the eight individuals who most changed the way people live in the previous quarter century.
