3.0 out of 5 stars Conceptual Confusion, August 11, 2007
By 
Dennis During (Mount Vernon, NY USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Evolutionary Dynamics of Organizations (Paperback)
"Evolution" is not the right word for what Baum is talking about. "Learning" is. Evolution can take place among the population of, say, retail bakeries over time. They are started, they grow, they multiply outlets, they are absorbed by other entities, they close up shop. If a single organization changes, that is not usefully called evolution. It is LEARNING. What might be a mere semantic issue were it buried somewhere in the text, is a fairly reliable indicator of conceptual confusion in a chapter heading -- or a book title.
