A jet fighter pilot in the Korean war combat trainer, he managed to cross a number of other disparate disciplines including engineering, physics, evolutionary biology, epistemology and military history. From these threads he constructed a series of presentations he gave over many years to various military groups that have profoundly influenced the development of strategic thinking in the US and overseas. Famous adopters of his Boyds ideas have included the US Marne Corps. They also heavily influenced US operations in the First Gulf War. Unfortunately, Boyd never formally published his thinking. Boyd's Observe, Orient, Decide and Act Loop concept distills in a very simple and memorable concept a great deal of knowledge, understanding, and wisdom about how people and organizations can better manage and process information about the world to make effective decisions in competitive environments. This has certainly helped my understanding of how knowledge is constructed and works in living entities and people. Frans P.B Osinga is an officer in the Royal Netherlands Air Force and was a jet fighter pilot before completing this study as part of his work for a PhD thesis. In this compact book Osinga has done an excellent job of searching out and explaining how Boyd came by his wisdom, as well as providing an excellent summary and analysis of Boyd's major presentations. I recommend the book to anyone interested in military strategy and history, organizational management, or the theory of knowledge, sem críticas | adicionar uma crítica

John Boyd is often known exclusively for the so-called 'OODA' loop model he developed. This model refers to a decision-making process and to the idea that military victory goes to the side that can complete the cycle from observation to action the fastest. This book aims to redress this state of affairs and re-examines John Boyd's original contribution to strategic theory. By highlighting diverse sources that shaped Boyd's thinking, and by offering a comprehensive overview of Boyd's work, this volume demonstrates that the common interpretation of the meaning of Boyd's OODA loop conce Não foram encontradas descrições de bibliotecas. |

Es erinnert ein wenig an andere Autoren mit militärischer Laufbahn, die irre lange Textwüsten produzieren - nur hat Osinga seine auf 300 Seiten verdichtet.
Das Thema ist John Boyd, der vielen als der Erfinder des OODA Loops bekannt ist: Observe - Orient - Decide - Act. Viele interpretieren ihn als genau so simpel, und dass man im Krieg oder auch Selbstverteidigungsfalle nur schneller durch diesen Loop durch muss als der Gegner. Osinga zeigt aber, dass Boyd sehr viel mehr darunter verstanden hat. Er widmet sich genau der wissenschaftlichen Literatur, die Boyd beeinflusst hat. Das macht es zu einem sehr spannenden Buch. ( )
