TLDR
In this paper, the authors explain the inevitability of human specialisation, which tends to be accompanied by a lack of cooperation, especially of an interdisciplinary nature, by associating it with the practice of entrepreneurial management.Abstract:
Holism is a familiar concept, but it lacks a coherent definition in either theory or practice. This impedes common understanding and realistic observation and action. At the heart of the problem is the inevitability of human specialisation, which tends to be accompanied by a lack of cooperation, especially of an interdisciplinary nature. False holism may result in unpleasant surprises due to oversights. People who are able to avoid them tend to employ, even though tacitly, the law of requisite holism. This article seeks to explain this phenomenon by associating it with the practice of entrepreneurial management.read more
