John L. Casti in Bucharest

This was a two-day experience on working with the concepts of Complexity and how they can be used to model, influence, and control individual companies, business interactions, national markets, and even the global economy.

The event was a success, bringing together a diverse audience of Romanian entrepreneurs, and  serving as the opening of a new series of such lectures and conferences organized by the CCS.
