What people are saying about The Intelligence Advantage "A fresh view of organization. It is an exciting book to read and is on my desk so that I remember to mention it to others." Colin Crook, Executive, Citicorp "This book presents a new and sufficiently complete theory of organization. It is consistent with the most contemporary thinking of the sciences, philosophy and technology and provides a framework for approaching fundamental challenges facing corporations today. Strategy, organizational design and management practices can be seen in a new light. This is the first really new thinking I've seen in the area of organizational theory." Howard Sherman, former CEO, Midas Muffler "'We will fail to realize the potential of organizations until we see them as organisms in their own right' and 'Intelligence is the source of an organization's capacity for survival' are the basic hypotheses in Mike McMaster's thinking which, then, leads towards his illuminating ideas on organizational design and away from much of the mechanistic thinking of recent management theory." Arie de Geus, former Executive, Shell Petroleum "This book is about organizational designs for growth and survival, the fundamental challenge facing corporations in this millennium and beyond. The author has captured new thinking expressed as theory, practices and applications for executives, managers and specialists alike. The book is written in a creative language and unfolds with increasing insights. For me, it covers what everyone in an organization needs to understand." Lewis Maciver, Consultant and former Executive, British Petroleum "If you want to read an eye-opener in this field (theories of management), get a copy of the very readable book The Intelligence Advantage. I'm happy to see such a book written as a human being for other human beings. This book is a masterpiece." Dr. John Warfield, Professor, George Mason University, Institute for Advanced Study in Integrative Sciences
