Читать книгу Managing in a Complex World - Johannes Rüegg-Stürm - Страница 7

We have only been able to further develop the SGMM, presented between these covers, thanks to our inspiring cooperation with many colleagues from the scientific community, in particular the University of St. Gallen, and from business practice. On behalf of many colleagues, we would like to thank our team colleagues Simone von Wittken, Christian Erk, Marc Krautzberger, Matthias Mitterlechner, Torsten Schmid, Thomas Schumacher, and Harald Tuckermann. We also thank our colleagues Kuno Schedler, Thomas Bieger, Pietro Beritelli, Dirk Schäfer, Florian Hohmann, Mathias Müller, Thomas Friedli, Urs Fueglistaller, Thomas Zellweger, Alexander Fust, and Frank Halter. They are all personally committed to anchoring the tradition of the SGMM at the University of St. Gallen and play a key role in its further development through their work. Particularly inspiring and enriching was our intense exchange of ideas with Hansjörg Siegenthaler and Elisabeth Michel-Alder, as well as with Martha Feldman, Ann Langley, Ann Cunliffe, Robert Chia, Alfred Kieser, Henry Mintzberg, Davide Nicolini, and Rudolf Wimmer, in the context of our “Distinguished Management Scholar Series.” [6] While developing, realizing, and finalizing this text, we have received tireless support from our committed, professional, and patient project team. Special thanks go to Naomi Kink and Andreas Schwendener. They have supported us not only with excellent project management but also with many inspiring ideas, which have considerably enriched this book. We thank our translators, Jay Binneweg and Mark Kyburz, for their tireless commitment and painstaking attention to detail. We also wish to thank Victoria Hotz and Flavio Tschopp, who have provided valuable advice on making this book more accessible. Our very special thanks go to Monika Steiger for providing the conditions under which we are able to tackle our daily work at the Organization Studies Research Center of the Institute for Systemic Management and Public Governance (IMP-HSG).

We are grateful to the project team at Alltag (Gloria Weiss, Phillip Bührer, and Rachel Kühne), whose patience and creative inspiration have produced visual materials that works, as well as a neatly designed, aesthetically pleasing book. Finally, we wish to thank Matthias Haupt for being an excellent publisher.

We have co-authored this book from start to finish. The fact that our endeavor has borne fruit is not self-evident. It is not our achievement alone, but the result of a mixture of intellectual joy, trust, friendship and happiness, for which we are grateful.
