The Russian Methodological School of Management, drawing on the
path-breaking work of the late Georgy Shchedrovitsky, represents a
major contribution to systems theory as it developed in the second
half of the 20C. The uniqueness of this book is that it offers a
whole new perspective not only on the way systems theory developed
and was successfully applied in the industrialisation of what
became a world super-power, but also on how its practitioners
continue to use it to improve the management of large organisations
in Russia today. It will no doubt come to be regarded as an
indispensable guide for individuals pursuing careers in the
management of large organizations in all sectors of society.

Readers should not feel intimidated by the size of this manuscript.
Not only does it offer a clear account of the theory of knowledge
management, developed by the school of thought led by
G.Shchedrovitsky, but it also provides up to date examples of
winning strategies and lessons in effective leadership of large
organisations in Russia today.

For those that cannot imagine that anything can be learnt from
Russian management, this volume would be a real mind changer. It
has a wealth of insights that a wide range of readers would find
highly original. Shchedrovitsky and methodological circle may soon
become an unavoidable part of textbooks on management and social
change.
