"This work masterfully synthesizes the extensive literature on this extremely interdisciplinary, complex, often fragmented topic. The book is enlivened by examples from all over the globe and from a worldwide industry; it serves as a comprehensive reference for academics as well as for managers who are envisaging future organizational and technological trends".

In the knowledge society we live in today, the continuous creation of knowledge is the only way for an organization to survive. The book concisely and precisely explains how an organization can keep innovating within and across the organizational and technological boundaries, and how such innovation affects the organization and society. With many examples it is easy to read and understand. Excellent and a must-read for anyone who wants to learn about organizational change.

This book is about organizations, cognitive machines and the environment. It is concerned with the relations between them. It relies on the premise that the technology of cognitive machines can improve the cognitive abilities of the organization; it also relies on the proposition that an increase in organizational cognition reduces the relative levels of uncertainty and complexity of the environment with which the organization relates.
– Farley Simon Nobre, Innovation Technology Enterprise, Brazil
This book combines engineering and business knowledge to look at organizations, cognitive machines, the environment, and most especially the relationship between them.
