Description

Discover why large-scale disasters emerge from everyday decisions in complex systems. Drift into Failure examines how organisations pursuing success in dynamic environments with limited resources inadvertently create conditions for catastrophic breakdown. Through analysis of real-world failures including sub-prime lending collapse, aircraft accidents, and the Gulf of Mexico oil spill, this CRC Press book reveals the normality and complexity underlying massive events. Rather than seeking broken components or individual blame, the author explains how small, routine choices accumulate into systemic failures. Essential reading for understanding occupational safety, industrial psychology, and organisational risk, this work transforms how professionals approach system design, decision-making, and failure prevention across aviation, finance, and engineering sectors.
