Gentle sweet air blew round the bared heads in a whisper. Whisper. The boy by the gravehead held his wreath with both hands staring quietly in the black open space. Mr Bloom moved behind the portly kindly caretaker. Well cut frockcoat. Weighing them up perhaps to see which will go next. Well it is a long rest. Feel no more. It's the moment you feel. Must be damned unpleasant. Can't believe it at first. Mistake must be: someone else. Try the house opposite. Wait, I wanted to. I haven't yet. Then darkened deathchamber. Light they want. Whispering around you. Would you like to see a priest? Then rambling and wandering. Delirium all you hid all your life. The death struggle. His sleep is not natural. Press his lower eyelid. Watching is his nose pointed is his jaw sinking are the soles of his feet yellow. Pull the pillow away and finish it off on the floor since he's doomed. Devil in that picture of sinner's death showing him a woman. Dying to embrace her in his shirt. Last act of Lucia. Shall I nevermore behold thee? Bam! expires. Gone at last. People talk about you a bit: forget you. Don't forget to pray for him. Remember him in your prayers. Even Parnell. Ivy day dying out. Then they follow: dropping into a hole one after the other.

Strategy is Destiny, by Robert A. Burgelman is a fascinating book. The material is so analytical, sometimes it's almost unreadable. This work provides such an incredible insight into Intel's decision making process that anybody who is half-serious about the art of management should read it.
He also describes a multi-level "lens" to view the subject of the evolutionary approach to organization: from Theory( General, Abstract, Nonexperiential, Math&Stat models) to Conceptual Frameworks( Specific, Substantive, Suggestive, Boxes&Arrows charts) to Practice( Particular, Concrete, Experiential, Narratives).
This approach is complimentary to the nine screen system view that we teach in our course.
