"Building on the work of the physicist Helmholtz and the concept of consilience proposed by sociobiologist E. W. Wilson, Bundy provides flexible, algorithmic formulas that encourage deviation from conventional thinking and the development of creative intuition." "Written for laymen as well as specialists in nonscientific fields, Bundy's book is a look at the process of innovation within organizations and how its pervasiveness can be encouraged for civilization's advancement and the world's prosperity."--BOOK JACKET.
