{"product_id":"the-third-lens-mika-aaltonen-9780754647980","title":"The Third Lens: Multi-Ontology Sense-Making and Strategic Decision-Making","description":"Advancing new sense-making tools for organizational strategy, this book demonstrates how to deal with asymmetric threats and opportunities. It employs participatory methods and multiple sector strategies to shift strategic thinking into considering disorder complexity and chaos. The contributors examine whether the 'third lens' or ontology of a project (its nature, work and strategic landscape) should influence the two other 'lenses' (our epistemological and methodological choices) that create an understanding of the world we live in. The book also considers the importance of time, in particular spatio-temporal relations that serve as reflection points for sense-making and strategic decision-making, both with respect to the situation in which they take place and as conceptual vehicles for managing multiple times and realities. Written for 21st century strategists, this volume will benefit people and organizations who struggle daily with multiple co-existing ontological, epistemological and methodological discourses.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mika Aaltonen\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0754647986\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780754647980\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/29\/2007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 178\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.95lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.44d","brand":"Mika Aaltonen","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44120147263743,"sku":"9780754647980","price":170.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_841ad951-47d2-4aa8-9c28-a094ff292808.jpg?v=1687412803","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-third-lens-mika-aaltonen-9780754647980","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
