Die Arbeit in Projekten ist konstitutiv für Hochschulen und daher eine ihrer typischen Organisationsformen. Anders als Forschungsvorhaben, die zumeist mit der Veröffentlichung der wissenschaftlichen Ergebnisse abschließen und durch neue Projekte ersetzt werden, zielen auf Studium, Lehre und Weiterbildung fokussierte Vorhaben auf nachhaltige Veränderungen in den Hochschulen ab. Doch wie kann es gelingen, die von den eigentlichen Organisationsroutinen abgekoppelten Projekte in langfristige Strukturveränderungen zu überführen, sofern sich der organisatorische Überbau durch lose gekoppelte Arbeitsprozesse, Mitarbeiterfluktuationen und einem hohen Maß an Professionsautonomie kennzeichnet? Antworten auf eben jene und weitere Fragestellungen liefert die vorliegende Dissertation, die das Spannungsfeld von Struktur und Handeln der betroffenen Akteure in den Mittelpunkt rückt und sich somit einem Forschungsdesiderat annimmt, dass weder in der theoriegeleiteten Managementliteratur noch in der Organisations- und Hochschulforschung gegenwärtig hinreichend beleuchtet ist.

This is an open access book. This book offers the first overview of the ‘wicked problems’ literature, often seen as complex, open-ended, and intractable, with both the nature of the ‘problem’ and the preferred ‘solution’ being strongly contested. It contextualises the debate using a wide range of relevant policy examples, explaining why these issues attract so much attention. There is an increasing interest in the conceptual and practical aspects of how ‘wicked problems’ are identified, understood and managed by policy practitioners. The standard public management responses to complexity and uncertainty (including traditional regulation and market-based solutions) are insufficient. Leaders often advocate and implement ideological ‘quick fixes’, but integrative and inclusive responses are increasingly being utilised to recognise the multiple interests and complex causes of these problems. This book uses examples from a wide range of social, economic and environmental fields in order to develop new insights about better solutions, and thus gain broad stakeholder acceptance for shared strategies for tackling ‘wicked problems’.

“Resilience vs Pandemics: Innovations in Public Places and Buildings” explores innovative solutions for architecture and public places during and after the pandemic. Additionally, the authors contribute to the documentation of architectural and social transformations that have been prompted by previous transmissible diseases, as this knowledge can inform responses to future pandemics. In this volume, the chapters present critical, exploratory, multi- and interdisciplinary, and cutting-edge research approaches; with a particular focus on the effects of COVID-19 and other highly transmissible diseases on the design, use, performance, and perception of the built environment, particularly at the building scale. This volume aims to organize a collection of scientific studies, reviews, analysis, recommendations, and solutions in the fields of urban design, architecture, design, landscape design, etc. The overarching goal is to document new approaches to create and enhance built environment resilience. Chapters shed light on novel methods, tools, processes, regulations, behaviours, and other relevant details contributing to a comprehensive understanding of this crucial issue. The two scales of the built environment under consideration are: (1) Public Places, including research on transformations (death, emergencies, changes), requirements, adaptability, usability, virtual immersion, historical perspectives, interactivity, shifts in use and programs, etc. (2) Buildings, including regulations, shifts in use and program, non-pharmaceutical interventions, human interactions, and human-machine interfaces. The book covers a wide range of studies, including physical and non-physical studies, which may refer to the city infrastructure, green/blue spaces, housing, policy-making, health services, social and economic issues, etc. The findings and results of various global case study examples contribute to the decision-making of governments, organizations, and institutions, as well as inspire scholars and future research for developing resilience in the post-pandemic era.
