Woran scheitern Innovationsvorstellungen des modernen Managements?

Current management discourse is shaped by the idea that uncertain times require new methods of organisation. Popular management principles promise opportunities for improvement for both people and organisations, but what are the consequences when hierarchies and formal rules are dismantled, silos are broken down or members are motivated by ‘purpose’? In this book, the author takes a critical look at modern ideas of innovation, showing how organisations actually manage environmental challenges and which structural features ensure adaptability. This study allows consultants to gain a more complex perspective on organisations—a perspective that is based on the insights of systems theory.
