Resolving Complexity in Organizations Spring 1999 (Course Materials)

A lectures series which occurred in the spring of 1999 at George Mason University. There were 22 class meetings from 30 January to 15 May 1999. ALL THESE CLASSES WERE FILMED, SEE DETAILS SECTION FOR COMPLETE LIST. Ten video segments are  Planning An Interactive Management Session; Ford's 1st Interactive Management Session; Ford's 1st Interactive Management Session Part 2; Warfield on the Economy; Methodologies to Use in interactive Management; Thought Leaders; Thought Leaders Part 2; Clanthink; Magical Number 3 Plus or Minus Zero; Groupthink.

 

RESOLVING COMPLEXITY IN ORGANIZATIONS was Warfield's formal title for this lecture series which continued for 14 weeks in Spring of 1999, and was the last class Warfield ever taught at George Mason University. GMU Library has the video and audio tapes of every single class session from January to May. Furthermore GMU Library staff reviewed the videotapes and selected ten nice VIDEO SEGMENTS from the class lectures, which were then ADDED TO WARFIELD DIGITAL COLLECTION at GMU.

The original videotapes and audio tapes which belong with this series are now in boxes at Warfield Special Collection, Fenwick Library, George Mason University.

Please note that WARFIELD’S SPRING SEMESTER 1999 CLASS SESSIONS ARE LISTED IN THE GMU LIBRARY FINDING AID UNDER VARIOUS TITLES, SO THAT THERE IS NO SINGLE TITLE LABEL FOR ALL THE CLASSES.  (r.w. September 2012).

The cassettes were shipped to GMU library in boxes with hundreds of other documents & videos, a part of the October 2000 original donation. Some class sessions are on 2 videocassettes while others are recorded at SLP speed and occupy only one cassette. In all there are 21 VHS VIDEOcassettes and 25 AUDIOcassettes in the series.
