Organisationsteori og organisationspsykologi

Gitte Haslebo og Kit Sanne Nielsen er begge psykologer og erfarne konsulenter. Her beskriver de, hvordan systemiske nøglebegreber kan omsættes til praksis. Forfatterne svarer bl.a. på, hvordan man i organisationer kan lære at se en hændelse eller et problem ud fra mange ligeværdige synsvinkler, hvorfor fremtidens ledere skal være eksperter i læreprocesser, og hvilke erkendelsesprocesser der fører konsulenterne frem til de valg, de træffer om intervention i organisationen.

Skandaler i organisationer er typisk forbundet med tabuisering og skam.Det er derfor underbelyst, hvordan skandaler påvirker mennesker, og hvordan vi kan håndtere dem.Med LEDELSE I SKANDALERNES TID går organisationspsykolog Johanne Grant ind i det mørke, der også kan opstå i ledelse og organisationer: Når andre oplever os som usympatiske og umoralske, og når kritik, spot og hån klistrer til den organisation, vi er knyttet til.Med udgangspunkt i cases, forskning og erfaringer fra ledere og medarbejdere giver bogen indsigt i:• Hvad der leder til organisatoriske skandaler• Hvordan man ledelsesmæssigt kan forebygge dem• Hvordan man håndterer og kommer igennem dem, når de opstår• Hvordan man som leder og som organisation lærer af dem og indgår i en genopbygningsproces.Bogen introducerer en række relevante metoder og værktøjer, der gør det håndterbart at komme i gang.LEDELSE I SKANDALERNES TID er relevant ikke kun for organisationer, der har været igennem en skandale eller oplevet massiv negativ kritik eller eksternt pres.Den er oplagt for alle, der arbejder med, uddanner sig inden for eller har en interesse i at udvikle ledelse,mennesker og kultur i sunde organisationer

Nysgerrigheden er blevet væk, påstår forfatterne. For de nye løsninger skal falde på en snor udregnet af AI eller planlagt ved forhandlingsborde, hvor magten bor, men hvor dagsordenen har fået kortere horisont. Bogen fungerer som inspiration til arbejdet med at skabe nyt og forbedre eksisterende løsninger, uafhængig af branche og fag. Udviklingsarbejde er spændende. Men skal vi egentlig bare følge manualen? Bogen forsøger at udfolde de forudsættende færdigheder vi må mestre for at kunne bidrage til bestræbelserne på at skabe nyt, og bruger et multifagligt afsæt til formålet.Undervejs i bogens lille følgehistorie møder vi projektdeltagerne Rosa og Gunnar. Rosa er lidt flyvsk, hvorimod Gunnar ikke flyver nogen steder. De kæmper med de virkelige problemer med at balancere de modsatrettede særinteresser fra organisationen, kollegaer, familie etc.Der skal rigtige mennesker til at skabe rigtige løsninger. Og det hele starter med nysgerrigheden. Den der blev væk…

Denne bog er et opgør med rutiners dårlige ry! Brug organisatoriske rutiner til at forandre, forny og finde fodfæste.Rutiner er hverken kedelige, tankeløse gentagelser eller hæmmende for forandring. Tværtimod! Rutiner bidrager til foranderlighed og fornyelse i organisationer.Denne bog er et opgør med rutiners dårlige ry. Rutiner er ikke noget, som bare skal overstås, så man slipper “fri af hamsterhjulet”. Rutiner er derimod en forudsætning for forandring og læring, og de skaber den nødvendige stabilitet for organisationers drift og overlevelse. Rutiner er altid i proces, de er dynamiske.DYNAMISKE RUTINER introducerer for første gang på dansk vigtig ny viden fra forskningen om organisatoriske rutiners kendetegn og dynamik. Cases, praksiseksempler og prøv selv-spørgsmål giver inspiration til, hvordan rutiner kan løse problemer i organisationen, og hvordan de kan udvikles og forankres som gode arbejdsprocesser.Bogen er skrevet til private og offentlige ledere. Den er desuden velegnet til undervisere, studerende og andre, der beskæftiger sig med organisatoriske problemstillinger.

Interessen for øget frisættelse og selvorganisering er stor. Mange organisationer ønsker at udvikle sig i retning af den selvledende organisation samt finde måder at forene en fladere struktur med det klassiske ledelseshierarki. Mindre hierarki, mere ledelse bidrager til, at virksomhederne kan finde deres vej i bestræbelserne. Bogen giver overblik over ideer og koncepter fra den relevante litteratur samt deler praktiske erfaringer med at etablere og fastholde en helt eller delvist selvledende organisation. Hertil præsenterer forfatterne løsningsforslag til en række problemstillinger, som er typiske i bevægelsen mod øget selvorganisering. Bogen henvender sig til praktikere, der er eller vil i gang med at skabe mere selvorganisering i deres organisation. Med sine mange eksempler peger bogen på dilemmaer og muligheder, man skal holde sig for øje. Bogens præsentation af begreber og teorier gør den velegnet til undervisningsbrug, hvor ledelse behandles.

Velkommen til en bog om organisation og ledelse i den finansielle sektor.Denne bog er opstået ud fra en stærk motivation og et stort savn. Motivationen er at give vores studerende inden for finansbachelor, finansøkonom, financial controller og efter- og videreuddannelsesforløb i den finansielle sektor det bedst mulige grundlag for at forstå organisation og ledelse. Både rent analytisk og praktisk. Savnet handler om, at der mangler lærebøger rettet direkte mod de finansielle uddannelser.Der findes et hav af bøger om organisation og ledelse. Mange er fremragende. De fleste ser på bestemte aspekter af eller vinkler på organisation og ledelse, mens andre er bredere. Fælles for dem er, at der er få finansielle eksempler, og at en del studerende har svært ved at oversætte teorier og modeller til den finansielle sektor. Vi har lavet en lærebog specifikt til de finansielle uddannelserDerfor har vi vendt processen på hovedet. Set bort fra, hvad ”man plejer” eller ”bør”, og i stedet zoomet ind på alt det, vi oplever, man som studerende, (kommende) medarbejder eller leder i den finansielle sektor har brug for, når man går i gang med at studere organisation og ledelse. Derfor er vores mål at præsentere vores studerende for modeller og teorier, der giver merværdi, når man er i lige præcis den finansielle sektor.

Edwin Lupberger takes the reader on a journey through the last half of the twentieth century using his personal experience in the power industry to describe the changes in corporate business during this period. The author describes his career and the serendipitous events that shaped it with experiences at multiple levels of management with several organizations of various sizes and maturity. Over his career, he evolved to become a CEO of a major regional electric utility. He describes how he was initially faced with a company burdened by escalating costs of construction of multiple nuclear power facilities during the period of record-raising construction costs and interest rates at historic levels. He discusses the unique conditions facing the company that became Entergy and how regulatory and legal challenges complicated an already difficult financial and technical challenge. The story tells of overseeing the then-largest electric industry merger to date and following the financial challenge of the successful completion of four nuclear power stations financed in a nationally adverse political climate and stressed financial markets. The author describes the events and the efforts needed to shepherd the virtually bankrupt company from a decentralized corporate structure to a uniquely managed, financially strong corporate entity. It is a success story with lessons for our time.

This book considers the differential occurrence and impact of deviance and dysfunction on family firms. The author argues that how family systems develop in family, cultural, and societal contexts, strongly affects differences in the types and levels of negative behaviours in family firms. By considering the context of recent developments and extensions in family systems theory, this book will guide future research investigating the impact of broader definitions of family to consider socio-legal, social-biological, and role-based families. It provides a retrospective look that lays the groundwork for a future research agenda that can blend and develop current management theory as it relates to family firms with the latest developments in family systems theory.

This book examines the challenges of intercultural management in sub-Saharan Africa. It presents a case study of Vasco Silva, a Portuguese businessman who established a successful business in Luanda, Angola. After four years of growth, Silva encounters a culture shock due to a wild strike by his employees. He embarks on a deep cultural exploration using the Hofstede 6D model and the Toyota-management tool Genchi Genbutsu (go and see for yourself). Gradually, Silva gains an understanding of effective leadership in the Angolan context, unraveling important features of local culture and initiating an organizational change project. This work contributes to the ongoing discourse in African management literature, particularly regarding the integration of modern and contemporary traditional organizational and leadership concepts. It responds to the demand for descriptive accounts of hybrid case studies of confluencing cultures. Scholars of African management philosophy and business leaders can utilize this case study to explore indigenous African notions in a business setting, demonstrating the performative characteristics of local leadership forms and the adaptability required for success in foreign business environments

The Socio-Economic Approach to Management (SEAM) is a management methodology for developing the sustainable performance of organizations. It finds its roots in a socially responsible vision of capitalism and its originality is to offer a unique management model useful for sustainably managing people and providing socially responsible consulting, as well as for carrying out research-interventions and creating knowledge. This book is the first to present in a synthetic way and illustrate with case studies the political, managerial and scientific dimensions of SEAM.This methodology has been successfully tested on thousands of companies and organizations from 48 different countries since 1974 and distinguished by prestigious French and American academies. It aims to convert the hidden costs of social dissatisfaction (absenteeism, excessive staff turnover, underproductivity) into economic value for the organization, which can be used to increase salaries, self-financedinvestments, master budgets or remunerate shareholders. It will be of great interest to students and scholars of management, as well as practitioners and consultants.

This edited book is the second in the book series ¿Managing the Post-Colony¿. The book series is co-edited by Nimruji Jammulamadaka (IIM Calcutta, India) and Gavin Jack (Monash University, Australia). The book series seeks to present cutting-edge, critical, interdisciplinary, and geographically and culturally diverse perspectives on the contemporary nature, experience, and theorisation of managing and organising under conditions of postcoloniality.This book specifically presents voices and perspectives from Aotearoa New Zealand, Australia, and The Pacific, locations with shared and distinctive histories and present-day experiences of colonisation and imperialism. Ways of managing, organising, and doing business in these places demonstrate cultural continuity and change in such histories, present sites of postcolonial struggle, and diverse prospects for self-determined future-making. The book explores struggles and prospects of managing in the post-colony through qualitative empirical cases, historical and legal studies, conceptual essays and provocations, and interviews with Indigenous business leaders. It contributes to the ongoing diversification, provincialisation, and decolonisation of management and organisation studies and practice. A strong focus is placed on diverse Indigenous knowledges and experiences, including those of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander, Pasifika, and M¿ori peoples, and insights into the capacity for Indigenous culture-specific modes of business to offer decolonising futures.

This book investigates the lived experience of CEOs in their quest for wholeness and presents a model of spiritual intelligence for contemporary leadership. The experience of ethical and spiritual crisis in the post-modern society especially in organizational leadership, calls for deeper quest and spiritual intelligence. Four essential themes emerged from the analysis of the in-depth interviews with top leaders of different organizations across the globe: (1) Sensing Crisis, (2) Embracing Crisis (3) Awakening Hidden Wholeness, (4) and Serving Greater Good. From the analysis of the themes, a model of spiritual intelligence and leadership wholeness is constructed. This Spiritual Intelligence Model portrays the intra-dynamics of leaders¿ ongoing quest for wholeness penetrating through their existential, learning, spiritual, and moral dimensions of being and the five ethical dimensions of wholeness permeating through the personal, organizational, social, global, and environmental spheres of life. This book gives a fresh perspective on spiritual intelligence and leadership practice today.

Management research has traditionally assumed that leaders play an essential role in both public and private organizations and are required for a business to run smoothly. However, more recently, a vein of critical research has claimed that leaders can do more harm than good, creating confusion and putting their reputation before production and employee wellbeing. This book asks the question - what would happen if there were no leaders? Would employees be better off without formal (or informal) leaders? And even if such a utopia were desirable, would it be realizable in practice?
