Abstract

In this book, the authors compare the practise of making detailed plans for organizations to billiards and cycling. All the information the planners have is hidden in one thrust of their cue,even though the laws of physics dictate that the exact result of three rolling, bumping balls will be different every time. In physics this is called the three-particle problem.
