The theme of the book is the development of the quantum organization and how information technology impacts on the organization. A revolutionary change model forms the structure for the discussion. Each module is introduced by an excerpt from Plato's dialogue on the Perfect State and represents a stage in the process of change: setting the scene; facing the reality; awakening; envisioning; re-architecting; and leadership. Technology may have changed since Plato's time, but the search for a model for the "ideal" state endures. The central ideas explored by the author within this model are radical change through re-architecting and information technology and the evolutionary and revolutionary aspects of information technology within a chaordic system. The idea of the quantum organization is studied from different angles: reasons for this, self-organization, the knowledge society, beyond the concept of radical change, leadership and a macro perspective. An introduction to the world of Digital Economy and aspects of the emerging quantum organization.
