Three Pillars of Organization and Leadership in Disruptive Times
This book, written by an interdisciplinary team of authors, explores the transformation of organizations in today’s volatile, uncertain, and ambiguous (VUCA) world. It demonstrates the need to manage organizations in a dynamic way, and to revisit and in some cases reinvent working and leadership styles that seemed appropriate during past decades and centuries. In turn, the book puts forward a model based on three distinct pillars of organization and leadership to suit disruptive times: the concepts of 'Sustainable Purpose', 'Travelling Organization', and 'Connecting Resources'. These pillars challenge many of our traditional organizational patterns and meet the need for effective transformative approaches.
Navigating a Travelling Organization
This book dives deep into the "Three Pillar Model" (3-P-Model) applied by the authors for organizations. These pillars are: Sustainable Purpose, Traveling Organization, and Connected Resources. The authors specifically concentrate on the pillar Traveling Organization and help in understanding the concept, its design, and navigation in practice. The expert contributors also show the relevance of the 3-P-Model in diverse areas – from profit and public organizations to the catholic church and cultural work. The navigation is aligned with the pillar Sustainable Purpose and connects professional topics, organizations, and people as three core resources. Organizational scientists, business strategists, and executive MBA students will particularly benefit from this book.
Kuhn's Intellectual Path
Examines the influences on and impact of Thomas Kuhn's The Structure of Scientific Revolutions.
Organization and Leadership in Disruptive Times
This book follows on the authors’ successful development of the Three-Pillar Model (3-P Model) for organizing and leading in disruptive times. Its focus is on helping the reader to implement the model and providing a wide variety of application cases for these VUCA times (Volatility, Uncertainty, Complexity and Ambiguity), including global crises like the COVID-19 pandemic. The book covers a broad range of organizations: private and public sector, NGOs, local and global governmental institutions, global organizations such as UN, etc. In addition, it shows how the 3-P Model can be applied to challenges in organization design, management and leadership.
The Politics of Paradigms
Uncovers long-ignored political themes—ideology, propaganda, mind-control, and Orwellian history—at work within the pages of The Structure of Scientific Revolutions. The Politics of Paradigms shows that America’s most famous and influential book about science, The Structure of Scientific Revolutions of 1962, was inspired and shaped by Thomas Kuhn’s political interests, his relationship with the influential cold warrior James Bryant Conant, and America’s McCarthy-era struggle to resist and defeat totalitarian ideology. Through detailed archival research, Reisch shows how Kuhn’s well-known theories of paradigms, crises, and scientific revolutions emerged from within urgent political worries—on campus and in the public sphere—about the invisible, unconscious powers of ideology, language, and history to shape the human mind and its experience of the world. George A. Reisch is managing editor of The Monist and series editor for Open Court Publishing Company’s series Popular Culture and Philosophy.
Interpreting Kuhn
"One might wonder if there is anything new to say about Thomas Kuhn and his views on science. Scholarship on Kuhn, though, has changed dramatically in the last 20 years. This is so for a number reasons"--
