The organization as an information system: signposts for new investigations (1999)
Journal Article
Barlow, H., & Burke, M. (1999). The organization as an information system: signposts for new investigations

This paper focuses on the question of how industry should adapt to today's information environment. It is proposed that businesses should look to long-standing organizations such as the church and government for an appropriate information model. Whil...

One of the simplest optical systems, consisting of two mirrors facing each other to form a resonator, turns out to have a surprising property. Here we show that the peculiar eigenmodes of unstable resonators are fractals, a finding that may lead to... Read More about Fractal modes in unstable resonators.
