Why, thanks for the pointer -- I'm particularly proud of having written """ The only really workable way to develop large software projects, just as the only really workable way to run a large business, is a state of controlled chaos. """ *before* I had read Brown and Eisenhardt's "Competing on the Edge: Strategy as Structured Chaos" (at that time I had no real-world interest in strategically managing a large business -- it was based on mere intellectual curiosity and extrapolation that I wrote "controlled chaos" where B & E have "structured chaos" so well and clearly explained;-).
