Governance
Instead of yet another theory on good governance, this book presents a substantiation of contemporary notions. It builds on the theoretical foundations for taking an overall perspective on social contexts and culminates in a systemic framework that captures social structures based on first principles of viability and sustainability. The framework at hand enables applicants to view social contexts holistically while at the same time envisioning a rich picture of what leverages the implementation of social purposes beyond the boxes of the professional disciplines: social structures can be assessed, strengths and weaknesses identified and measures arrived at. Ultimately, the required structures can be tailor-made to align forces for a joint implementation of purposes. Conventional static hierarchies can be deployed into dynamic social organisms capable of developing and adapting continuously according to the opportunities and challenges faced.

Law As Engineering
'David Howarth's Law as Engineering is a profound contribution to the law. Evoking the level of originality associated with pioneering contributions to law and economics half a century ago, Howarth's book aligns law, not on economics, but on engineering styles of thought and problem solving. His analysis sheds deep light on a 21st century world where the work of transactional and legislative lawyers, who design and build social structures and devices much as engineers do physical ones, is becoming ever more important and complex, with far-reaching implications for both legal ethics and legal education.' – Scott Boorman, Yale university, US 'This is a brilliant, highly original analysis of ...
Systemic Management for Intelligent Organizations
The last two decades increasingly have challenged the field of management by confronting it with rapidly growing levels of dynamism, inter-connectedness, and complexity. Systems-based management approaches, their promise already proven, offer great potentials for influencing and coping with this development. This collection of essays offers ideas and exemplary case studies from experts in systemic management, organiza-tional cybernetics, and system dynamics for meeting the challenges in so-cio-economic systems. This book was compiled to honor the academic achievement of Markus Schwaninger, a leading protagonist in developing the field of systemic management and organizational cybernetics....
The Neurology of Business
This book describes the neurology of a business as a new dimension of organization and as a basis for success in a complex world. Comparing organizations with living organisms, it places an organization’s neurology (control and communication) as a third dimension beside its anatomy (structure) and physiology (process). Overlooked by classical organizational theory, this third dimension offsets its typical drawbacks. The Neurology of Business introduces Stafford Beer’s Viable System Model (VSM) and shows how this helps managers to diagnose, discover, and unleash the potential and performance lying dormant in today’s enterprises. The book is based on numerous consulting projects and management seminars conducted in Europe, America, and Asia. It guides the reader through the diagnosis and design process and illustrates application issues with practical examples. In this way, the book provides managers with the language needed to have meaningful conversations about how their organizations are functioning. As such, it will benefit managers in business and nonbusiness organizations, as well as readers interested in general management.

Verantwortungsvoll führen in einer komplexen Welt
"Verantwortungsvoll führen" bedeutet für uns Autoren, die Lebensfähigkeit von Unternehmen, von Teams und nicht zuletzt jedes Einzelnen zu sichern, zu fördern und zu entwickeln. Damit werden die Voraussetzungen für nachhaltigen Erfolg im komplexen Umfeld des digitalen Wandels geschaffen. Ausgangspunkt dieses Buches sind fünf grundlegende Denkmuster der verantwortungsvollen Führung. Drauf aufbauend wird eine "Landkarte" entwickelt, die das kybernetische Modell des lebensfähigen Systems neu interpretiert und an Praxisbeispielen illustriert. Dieses fordert eine am Sinn und Zweck (dem "Purpose") orientierte Führung, die das Gemeinwohl stets im Blick hat und digitale Strategien nahtlos in agile Operationen umsetzt.
Die dritte Dimension des Organisierens
Es ist ein offenes Geheimnis: Unsere Organisationen funktionieren mehr schlecht als recht. Darin liegt das Kernproblem und überraschenderweise zugleich die Lösung. Denn wir brauchen keine neuen Konzepte und Rahmenbedingungen, wir brauchen keine besseren Führungskräfte und keine anderen Politiker. Nötig sind nur Organisationen, die lernen wollen, die heutige Komplexität und Dynamik zu beherrschen. Organisationen also, die nicht an Ort und Stelle treten und den Wandel ausbremsen. Dieses Buch beschreibt die Neurologie des Unternehmens als dritte Dimension des Organisierens. In der Tradition des St. Galler Management-Modells stellt der Autor ein Modell vor, das sich am menschlichen Nervens...
