Fulmer, a senior fellow at the Harvard Business School, shows how companies in all fields, particularly companies in the technology sector, which operate in very chaotic environments, can learn to cope with volatility and uncertainty by borrowing strategies from biological models, especially those known as complex adaptive systems. He draws on the work of groundbreaking scientists to illustrate that the business world is a complex system, and that for a company to succeed, it must become adaptive in the biological sense.
