There is real value in trying to connect science to business, and this should not be overlooked in the drive to connect business to science. Science is far too important just to be left to the scientists. All of science is too large a prospect, so the authors of this book limit themselves to looking at disorder. We must all learn to manage and control change, and there is plenty of social, technical and business change going on. The authors suggest that a clearer understanding of entropy and the choices it presents will assist in that management of change - or, as they put it, to manage disorder one needs to control the entropy vector.
