Читать книгу Managing in a Complex World - Johannes Rüegg-Stürm - Страница 16

Every organizational value creation first needs to “settle down” (i.e., find its place) in a complex world, in order to occur with a certain self-evidence. Changes in an organization’s environment and new opportunities mean that its value creation also needs to be constantly scrutinized, reflected on, and further developed. Precisely this is the responsibility of management. Accordingly, the SGMM defines management as a reflective design practice.

This demand – to reflectively design organizational value creation – must include management itself and is crucial for two reasons: Not only is management becoming more important from a societal viewpoint, but also ever more demanding and controversial. Thus, organizations and scholarship need to develop a differentiated understanding of what constitutes effective and responsible management.

The SGMM addresses this pressing need by describing the multifaceted nature of management and its manifold prerequisites both linguistically and visually. Our aim is to enable managers to carefully reflect on their own management practice.
