本书是《多样性红利:让知识团队涌现红利的复杂性科学》的英文版,是一本复杂性科学专家写给管理者的书。

内容简介

作者斯科特·佩奇与《规模》作者韦斯特是在圣塔菲研究所研究“复杂性科学”的同侪,韦斯特偏向于研究自然界与城市增长中的复杂现象,佩奇则研究组织中的复杂现象。

复杂性科学讨论了很多“非线性”问题,简而言之,10个人的工作成果不等于10个人工作量的总和,事物规模的扩大不可能用一个公式来表述。

现代社会中的大量工作都不是简单重复的叠加,比如设计师、文案、律师、医生、投资专家、科研人员做的工作。这些团队的成果不是“1+1=2”。

佩奇发现,解决复杂性问题的团队的成就,往往取决于团队成员的多样性,特别是在知识结构与认知层面的多样性,而这种多样性如果配合得当,可以带来远远超过“1+1=2”的效益,这部分超出的效益被他称为多样性红利。

为了解释这些效益,并评估、衡量这些效益,作者在书中使用了一些思维模型,并引入了大量企业的成功案例。包括奈飞、苹果、国际货币基金组织、NASA、谷歌在内的组织,实际上也以多样性为旗帜,并且在一定程度上使用了佩奇的方法。

    Bonus or chaos, it depends

    Facing the complex, identity/cognitive diversity helps facilitate innovative solutions. On the contrary, when simple process works well, diversity might cause unnecessary chaos.
