I've been doing some work in strategic thinking for public policy 
analysis and development. In the course of that work, I was 
introduced to the next stage of Peter Senge's work at MIT. an article 
introducing that work is at: 
http://www.solonline.org/repository/download/Refl5-7.pdf?item_id=8805929
In that article, there is an analysis of why the corporation, and 
specifically the global operations of corporations, aren't 
understood. It's a good read.
