What’s going on here? sharp (empirical China-based) critique of Williamson’s Markets & Hierarchies (1975) proposing a heterogeneous C(ulture)-space - information-based theory of human organization 4 modes of human knowing - 4 modes of organizing Max's Academic Work

  5. C-space • time-full cycle of knowing and organizing for further learning • versus • time-free naiveté of micro-economists’ rational-man theorizing that denies learning Max's Academic Work

  9. the scholar’s legacy - better questions ! • several categories of human learning & collaborating • poverty of research that ignores humanly-lived space and time • human dynamics of emerging order versus directing and so to heterogeneity, non-linearity, or ‘long-tail’ phenomena Max's Academic Work

  10. chaos theory, adaption, budgets & waste time & space bounded Max's Academic Work
