Unicist Strategy for Business Architects provides the fundamentals that are needed to design and develop businesses.This book is about how the mind of a strategist can influence reality in the business world. It will give you access to the basic laws of business, the structural characteristics of strategists and the ways to avoid the building of parallel realities that drive to failure and defeat.It is part of the Unicist Architecture Collection of Peter Belohlavek, which synthesized the structural-functionalist approach to business architecture. This book covers, among other subjects: the unicist approach to strategy, the mind of the strategist: the strategic attitude, the strategic ideology, the strategic action, the basic laws of Unicist Business Strategy, Fears: the strategy killers, limits of the possibilities for strategy building, responsibility avoidance: the anti-strategic approach and the antidote to anti-strategies. It provides the fundamentals to understand and respect the nature of the strategist to build and implement successful strategies.

This book proposes to enter the world of unicist business architecture in order to be able to transform the idea of the concept of a business into business processes. This implies the integration of diagnoses, strategies and architecture. Unicist Business Architects need to integrate the facts of a business and of its contexts with the needs of customers, stakeholders and shareholders and with the possibilities of the available technologies. This implies necessarily the use of creativity. Business architects need to go beyond factual knowledge in order to use their "art" to develop solutions that go beyond an "if and then" thinking process. The nature of architects can be defined by the integration of their need to do, the focus on what is being built, their inner freedom in order to be able to use their "art," with a natural credibility in order to start by "believing to see" to imagine solutions that are not preexisting. This book is for individuals who are responsible for designing business architecture. They are the ones that need to be able to apprehend diagnoses and strategies considering their fundamental and technical analytical aspects. This book provides the necessary ontogenetic maps to design and build the business architecture.

Introduction to Unicist Business Architecture is a fundamental book for individuals who are responsible for designing, modeling or organizing businesses.It provides an introduction to a structural functionalist approach to architecture that allows managing the integration of the ontological structures of a business to deal with it as an adaptive system with the functional operational processes that makes a business happen. It is part of the Unicist Architecture Collection of Peter Belohlavek, which synthesized the structural-functionalist approach to business architecture. It covers, among other subjects: analogy between functional architecture, IT architecture and Business architecture, Unicist Business Architecture, the unified field, businesses managed as unified fields, transforming unified fields into operational actions, unicist ontology of the apprehension of a unified field in business, the nature of adaptive systems for work, taxonomy for the design of an adaptive system's work process, unicist business process modeling, unicist business objects design, Unicist Back2Back methodology: unicist design taxonomy, the unicist ontology of figurative communication at work, hyperrealism in business, business platforms: an application of Unicist Business Architecture, 5-click strategy: an example of the use of a unified field in business.

This book provides an introduction to the ontogenetic maps for business architects. This work shows that the use of ontogenetic maps fosters consciousness in decision making and action, promoting the emulation of reality and the development of real actions to test solutions. Strategy building requires the use of ontogenetic maps to define the structure of possible solutions to be tested. The final architecture is based on the use of ontogenetic maps and the pilot testing of solutions. This work includes, among other subjects, an introduction to Unicist Business Architecture, the ambiguity of human adaptive systems, the unicist standard language and examples to learn how to read ontogenetic maps. The last chapter ends with the Unicist Ontogenetic Intelligence of Nature, to understand the groundings of the structure of an ontogenetic map. This is a complete introduction to the world of ontogenetic maps to deal with adaptive systems in business architecture. It is the starting point for any business architect.

These books were written as consultation books to be used to solve problems. They are essentially analogous to medical books for individuals who decided to manage the concepts and fundamentals of things in order to manage the root causes of problems. The discovery of the unicist ontology of consciousness and the development of its ontogenetic map opened the possibilities to manage adaptive systems for everyone. It allows individuals to develop their level of consciousness expanding their possibilities to diagnose, build strategies and develop structural solutions in the real world.

This book considers the role of Western philosophy in the 21st century in the light of historical developments; and presents contributions from experts in a number of fields including philosophy, sociology, history, politics and literature.

With the increasing awareness that mere economic and production-based explanations do not adequately describe the motivations for governance, researchers have focused on the behavioral side of the firm performance to justify the economic rationale of their typical behaviours. This book describes the concept of corporate governance, its emergence and the contemporary thinking around it. With emphasis on "conflicts of interests" assumed to be related to the theory of separation of ownership and control, the book delves into topics such as insider trading, excessive executive compensation, managerial, expropriation of shareholders’ wealth, false reporting, accounting non-disclosures and self dealing.
