Organisationsteori og organisationspsykologi

FRA VISION TIL VIRKELIGHED – DEN STRATEGISKE UDFORDRING belyser kunsten at styre overordnede processer, inklusive strategi, struktur og kultur, der er afgørende for at opnå resultater i dagligdagen. Dette er et tema, der er relevant for organisationer på tværs af bestyrelseslokalet og frontlinjen. Desværre prioriteres det sjældent systematisk, og resultatet afspejler ofte dette forsømte område. Bogen udforsker derfor disse dybtgående spørgsmål: Hvad er meningen? Hvem er vi? Hvor kommer vi fra? Hvor er vi på vej hen? Hvad vil vi opnå, og hvordan? Hvilke rammer har vi? Hvilken kultur vil vi fremme? Hvordan omsætter vi det til praksis og får alle med? Stig Næsh Hendriksen inddrager teori, der belyses gennem sine egne praktiske erfaringer, og han tager dig med på en rejse gennem cases fra kendte virksomheder og sine egne fejltagelser og succeser i mere end 40 år inden for lederskab, både nationalt og internationalt. Denne bog fortsætter rejsen, der blev påbegyndt med LEDERSKAB I ØJENHØJDE OG DEN MENNESKELIGE FAKTOR, udgivet i marts 2023. Hvor den første bog dykkede ned i følelser og menneskelig påvirkning, fokuserer denne bog på den rationelle styring af processer ud fra en overordnet vision og mening.

This work critically examines diversity, discrimination, and inclusion in the English-speaking Caribbean nations, with a specific emphasis on persons with disabilities. The chapters include an evaluative analysis on the extant theoretical and empirical literature on persons with disabilities in employment, exploring the nature of their disability, the role of information technology in gaining and retaining employment, and an analysis of the laws and relevant policies which prohibit the discrimination against persons with disabilities in the Caribbean region. Though the enactment of legislation outlawing the discrimination of persons with disabilities is not widespread in the Caribbean, a few select territories have taken positive steps towards recognition of the need to achieve inclusion of persons with disabilities and accept the diversity of the Caribbean populace.After exploring the general state of disability and discrimination in the Caribbean region, the authors analyze workplace accommodations provided to persons with disability, particularly as relations to IT and assistive devices, before focusing on workplace stigmas related to mental health disability and employment law.In addition to literature-based analyses, the book includes qualitative case studies, with the goal of providing benchmarks in organizational responses to employees with disabilities. Further, the authors highlight lessons to be learned from other countries in addressing inequality in the workplace for disabled persons.With its analysis of employment as well as socio-economic and legal issues, this interdisciplinary text will serve as a useful resource in not only understanding the organizational challenges faced by persons with disabilities in the region but also the necessary legislation needed to address discriminatory practices on a wider scale.

Organizations have similar system dynamics to living beings. The books Autopoiesis and Cell Culture have already examined the mechanisms of growth and adaptability of cells and transferred them to the world of management.Business Entropy now examines the physical and chemical foundations on which something like life is possible. It is about change, inertia, energy and entropy. It deals with the question of how stability is possible, how processes can be accelerated through catalysis and how order can arise in living beings despite the second law of thermodynamics.The book offers a journey from Galileo and Newton to thermodynamics and biochemistry and translates these concepts into the world of organizations

Organisationen besitzen eine ähnliche Systemdynamik wieLebewesen. Die Bücher Autopoiesis und Zellkultur haben bereits die Mechanismen des Wachstums und der Anpassungsfähigkeit von Zellen untersucht und in die Welt des Managements übertragen.Business Entropie untersucht nun die physikalischen undchemischen Grundlagen, auf denen so etwas wie Leben möglich ist. Dabei geht es um Veränderung, Trägheit, Energie und Entropie. Es geht um die Frage wie Stabilität möglich ist, wie Prozesse durch Katalyse beschleunigt werden können und wie trotz des zweiten Hauptsatzes der Thermodynamik in Lebewesen Ordnung entstehen kann.Dabei bietet das Buch eine Reise von Galilei und Newton über die Thermodynamik bis hin zur Biochemie und übersetzt dieseKonzepte in die Welt der Organisationen.

Your business may be financially successful, but you are probably still central to too many decisions. And feelings of being stuck, overwhelmed or lonely are common.

"Despite much learning and research over many decades, large ICT software projects have continued to experience poor outcomes or fallen short of original expectations--some spectacularly so. This is the case in the Australian and New Zealand public sectors, even though these projects operate within historically developed institutional frameworks that provide the rules, guidelines and controls, and aim to consistently improve outcomes. Something is amiss. In Adapting for Inertia, Grant Douglas questions the effectiveness of these institutional frameworks in governing large ICT software projects in the Australian and New Zealand public sectors. He also gauges the perspectives of a large number of actors in projects in both sectors and examines two case studies in detail. The main narrative to emerge is that the institutional frameworks are in a state of inertia: they are failing to adapt, owing to various institutional factors--all of which have public policy implications. Sadly, Douglas finds, this inertia is likely to continue. If there is difficulty in changing the capacity to govern, he proposes, policymakers should look to change the nature of what is to be governed." From publisher website.

Taking a multidimensional approach, this book sheds light on the evolution of organizational studies in a structured and systematic way, against the background of economic and social changes in recent decades. By doing so, the book focuses on the plurality of organizing models as a central concept. This plurality is important to the survival of the firm in response to the growing complexity of the economic, social, and technological innovation that has arisen as a result of globalization. The book goes beyond the traditional approach to the study of organizations, of a structural and functionalistic type. It investigates the role of cultures and the ethical, symbolic, and value dimensions in the redefinition dynamics of strategic assets, as well as the search for new governance models in innovative organizations. Further, it discusses the role of leadership, in relation to the development of professional groups and the skills necessary for the management of endo-organizational, inter-organizational, and trade union negotiation processes. Finally, the book analyzes the economic, social, and cultural change in societies and discusses how companies and organizations of all types can develop cultures of innovation that may lead to socially inclusive governance.This book will appeal to students, researchers, and scholars of economics, business, and the social sciences, as well as professionals and practitioners interested in a better understanding of how organizations function in today¿s globalized world.

The purpose of this book is to highlight how current successful Japanese multinational enterprises (MNEs) and companies have changed their business or business models in the past three decades. Japanese MNEs received a lot of attention from academia and industry during the 1980s and the early 1990s, and their factors for success have been compared with those of Western MNEs. Unfortunately, following the collapse of the ¿bubble economy¿ in the early 1990s, international business researchers and practitioners¿ attention has turned away from Japan and its MNEs to emerging markets, notably the rapidly growing China.Japanese MNEs have faced the mature domestic economy and also have had to overcome many new challenges in the twenty-first century, such as rapid aging, depopulation, and response to new technologies. Japanese MNEs and companies today are being forced to respond to new business environments never seen in the past. The prerequisites for business activities have significantly changed from those of former Japanese companies and their management practices. Even in such a difficult situation, however, many Japanese MNEs and emerging companies have achieved steady growth and have succeeded by changing their business models. This book provides the reader with new directions for research and lessons by analyzing the challenges of Japanese multinational enterprises and emerging companies. The redirection of attention is expected to have a positive impact on the field of international business study and practice.

Das Buch bietet einen praktischen Leitfaden, wie eine grundlegende strategische und strukturelle Neuausrichtung eines Unternehmens erfolgreich durchgeführt werden kann. Da jedes Unternehmen in seinem Kern und seiner Struktur einzigartig ist, handelt es sich nicht um eine Checkliste, die Schritt für Schritt abgearbeitet wird. Das Fachbuch gibt vielmehr einen Überblick zu konkreten Handlungsfeldern, die Unternehmen für ihren individuellen Bedarf anpassen sollten. Der Autor beschreibt einen aus der industriellen Praxis basierenden Ansatz für eine Unternehmensrestrukturierung bestehend aus sieben Bausteinen (7P): Plan, Personen, Partitionierung, Prozesse, Plattformen, Portfolio und Performance. Erfolgsentscheidend für eine gelingende Restruktruktierung ist die situative und individuelle Ausgestaltung der jeweiligen Bausteine, sodass ein Unternehmen den notwendigen Wandel rechtzeitig, rasch und effizient vollziehen kann. Zahlreiche Beispiele aus der betriebswirtschaftlichen Praxis vermitteln dem Leser Impulse, um die Bausteine aufzugreifen und zu adaptieren sowie von den Fehlern anderer zu lernen.

Rapidly developing Artificial Intelligence (AI) systems hold tremendous potential to change various domains and exert considerable influence on societies and organizations alike. More than merely a technical discipline, AI requires interaction between various professions. Based on the results of fundamental literature and empirical research, this book addresses the management's awareness of the ethical and moral aspects of AI.It seeks to fill a literature gap and offer the management guidance on tackling Trustworthy AI Implementation (TAII) while also considering ethical dependencies within the company. The TAII Framework introduced here pursues a holistic approach to identifying systemic ethical relationships within the company ecosystem and considers corporate values, business models, and common goods aspects like the Sustainable Development Goals and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Further, it provides guidance on the implementation of AI ethics in organisations without requiring a deeper background in philosophy and considers the social impacts outside of the software and data engineering setting. Depending on the respective legal context or area of application, the TAII Framework can be adapted and used with a range of regulations and ethical principles.This book can serve as a case study or self-review for c-level managers and students who are interested in this field. It also offers valuable guidelines and perspectives for policymakers looking to pursue an ethical approach to AI.

In gruppendynamischen Trainings wird viel über das Leben in Freundeskreisen, Liebesbeziehungen, Jugendcliquen, Wohngemeinschaften, Straßengangs, Terrorgruppierungen oder Kleinfamilien, aber kaum etwas über die Dynamik in Unternehmen, Verwaltungen, Ministerien, Armeen, Polizeien, Krankenhäusern, Universitäten oder Schulen abgebildet. In diesem Buch wird gezeigt, wie gruppendynamische Trainings den Übergang von einer Gruppe zu einer Organisation unterbinden ¿ durch den Druck zur personenbezogenen Kommunikation, durch ihre Entmutigung der Ausdifferenzierung von Rollen, durch die Verhinderung von Hierarchien und durch eine Tendenz zur Diffusität der Themen.

Organizations are increasingly recognizing the importance of sustainability and responsibility. They are challenged to develop a holistic approach to value creation that reconciles economic, social, and environmental goals. This book describes how knowledge can facilitate this process and amplifies the idea of knowledge management to strategically serve multiple stakeholders in a sustainable and responsible way. In particular, the book introduces the concept of the "e;Need Knowledge-Driven Organization."e; It builds on mature research on organizational purpose, stakeholder theory, and phronesis, and advances the concept of "e;needs."e; This provides a new lens for understanding the sustainable and responsible business case: First, people are motivated by their needs, and organizations represent social structures that facilitate the satisfaction of shared needs. Second, needs reflect and combine social, environmental, and economic concerns, making sustainability and responsibility more realizable for practitioners. And third, needs provide a reference point for holistic value creation and can thus align knowledge processes and structures in organizations.

Die Studie von Michael Knapp befasst sich mit den sozialen Netzwerkbeziehungen von Freelancer*innen im Kontext von Coworking Spaces als flexibel nutzbare Büro- und Arbeitsräumlichkeiten. Dabei wird insbesondere auf die Bedeutung dieses Kontexts in Bezug auf die Beziehungs- und Netzwerkbildung eingegangen und gezeigt, wie die Nutzung eines Arbeitsplatzes in diesem zur organisationalen Einbettung im Freelancing beitragen kann. Dazu greift die Arbeit auf Methoden der egozentrierten Netzwerkanalyse in Kombination mit qualitativen Interviews zurück. Anhand von persönlichen Freelancer*innen-Netzwerken, biografischen und sozial-räumlichen Hintergründen werden verschiedene Beziehungsinhalte und -konstellationen deutlich gemacht, die sich aus der Arbeit im Coworking Space ergeben können. Die Studie trägt damit zum Verständnis von Coworking Spaces für unternehmerische Prozesse im Freelancing bei und verweist auf die Relevanz von sozial-räumlicher Kontextualisierung.
