ABSTRACT

This chapter illustrates the Egyptian Sekem case, as an enterprise, and prospectively in the case of Zimbabwe, as a whole economy and society, how Integral Dynamics is operationalized, structurally and agentially, in a particular context, respectively the Middle East and in Southern Africa. Sekem is a rare breed, an enterprise that has evolved its complete functioning to embody, an integral dynamic, as an enterprise, and potentially as a 'university'. The integral journey, on which Sekem is engaged, as a university, is from community building to conscious evolution, onto knowledge creation and ultimately sustainable development. The dynamic orientation, linear and cyclical, is from local identity to global integrity, whereby local grounding is followed by local-global emergence, for self, organization and society, leading onto global navigation and ultimately global-local effect. Integral dynamic theory, in both a business and academic light, starting with Marketing to Community Building, to be applied to the actual Sekem enterprise and prospective 'Heliopolis University'.
