Holonics

Description

Joel Dietz:

"A philosophical approach that first rose to prominence through the writings of Arthur Koestler in the 1960s,' it offers a new model for interpreting organizations and social structures by conceptualizing them as self-regulating entities that are simultaneously inter-related 'parts' and self-contained 'wholes'? In this model, individuals and organizations are self-reliant, autonomous units that do not adhere to traditional hierarchical structures. Instead, they are flexible and can organize (and re-organize) repeatedly, depending on context and need."
