Abstract

It still holds true: information is not always the answer. Information is often part of the problem. While the main goal of information in the business place is to - able adequate decisions and actions, it can also lead to numerous negative effects: it can confuse, block creativity, or it can lead to hectic activism, stress and fatigue. Information can distract and divert attention, and it may even delay important - cisions – the paralysis by analysis. Strategies to avoid these dysfunctional effects of information can be divided into sender-based strategies and receiver-based strategies. In my previous research, I have looked at receiver-based strategies that outline effective ways of dealing with information overload. This book, by c- trast, analyzes sender-based strategies that aim at making content actionable by increasing its information quality. By offering relevant and sound information in a convenient and reliable manner, managers and information providers ranging from analysts to CEOs can not only optimize communication, they can also improve their reputation, employee satisfaction and customer loyalty. In a time where - formation has become a commodity or even a nuisance, this is a valuable strategy. The main premise of this book is consequently that information quality has - ready become a (if not the) decisive factor of the information economy. Many companies, however, are not managing this factor systematically.

Abstract

This book is about meetings and providing a new perspective from behavioural economics called nudging to make meetings more productive and enjoyable. Nudging hacks into the fast, automatic, subconscious system in human reasoning to breed success in every get-together. Once you know the foundations of focus, orientation, involvement, and commitment, the advantages of nudging are evident. The authors provide an explanation of nudge theory and 6 principles of how nudging affects our behavior. Examples from the actions and choices of the Dalai Lama, Ray Dalio, and Barack Obama demonstrate how nudging can make a difference. Based on theory, the book also gives 100 very practical nudges to improve meeting productivity that can be used by any meeting leader or participant.

Abstract

This book offers deep insights into the functioning of humanitarian organizations (HOs) from a managerial perspective. Presenting an in-depth case study on the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), it demonstrates how HOs can professionalize the management of their operations by adapting the institutional logic of private corporations and applying their tools and frameworks in the context of a non-profit-organization. The authors discuss the advantages of effective stakeholder and change management for HOs, as well as the tensions caused by conflicting institutional logics and ethical conflicts that arise as a result of a violation of the principles of an HO. The book appeals to anyone interested in managing non-governmental organizations more effectively.

Abstract

Es gibt Vordenker in der Organisationsforschung, die bis heute nichts von ihrer Relevanz verloren haben. Dazu gehören Namen wie Drucker, Follett, Luhmann, Mintzberg, Senge, Watzlawick, Weick und einige mehr. Berater:innen beziehen sich auf sie, Wissenschaftler:innen zitieren sie und jede:r scheint sie zu kennen. Doch wer und was steckt dahinter? Wie hängen die bekannten Theoretiker miteinander zusammen und welche Bedeutung haben sie für heute?   Das Buch liefert mit kompakten, aussagekräftigen Porträts einen Überblick über die Klassiker der Organisationsentwicklung. Deren Leben und Wirken, zentrale Konzepte des Werks, ihr Einfluss auf die Entwicklung? der Organisationsforschung und die heutige Relevanz werden betrachtet. Eingebettet in die Theorielandkarte der Organisationsentwicklung werden ihre Konzepte anhand konkreter Fragen und Fallstudien lebendig gemacht: Was würde Bruno Latour hierzu sagen? Welche Konsequenzen hätte das für das betrachtete Unternehmen? Entwicklungslinien und Aktualität der Konzepte werden auf diese Weise spannend beleuchtet.? .
