Using a multidisciplinary approach to management, this deceptively simple model offers a powerful set of tools for navigating complexity and turbulence; as the political and economic climate continues to evolve, this model has never been more relevant than today.  \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe Structural Frame\u003c\/b\u003e explores the convergence of organizational structure and function, and shows why social architecture must take environment into account.
