Reflections: On Exploring Work in Living Systems
Reflections: On Exploring Work in Living Systems
This chapter provides readers with a sense of what kinds of enriched answers to the question of describing work might emerge from the kind of exploration of work that have been started. It looks forward to where the integrative study of work in living systems can proceed from the initial exploration. It presents three perspectives that emerged over the course of the exploration: trade-offs, performance envelopes, and the effect of how work integrates. This chapter shows how work itself integrates life across levels of organization and across systems.
Keywords: work, integrative study, living systems, trade-offs, performance envelopes, life, organization
