The theory of complex responsive processes and its implications for
those working within organizations has become the focus of
increasing interest in recent years. This is in good part due to
the success of the editors' previous groundbreaking theory,
"Complexity and" "Emergence in Organizations,"
In this innovative new series, the editors have focussed on what
these ideas mean for practitioners tackling real organizational
issues, and how they can be used to make sense of the changes and
challenges which organizations must face. This book introduces and
explores the possible meanings of the idea of "working live." It
makes sense of the sense-making experience itself, drawing
attention to the way ideas and concepts emerge "live" in all
conversations in organizations. An appreciation of the open-ended,
improvisational nature of ongoing human communication becomes key
to such an understanding. The chapters, all written by experienced
managers and consultants, explore:
- How various forms of improvisation in social interaction can
inform ways of appreciating how those links are forged
- How these insights can illuminate the challenges of managing,
developing and changing organizational practices
In "Experiencing Risk, Spontaneity and Improvisation in
Organizational Life," Shaw and Stacey explore, through the
real-life experiences of practicing managers, some of the emerging
themes and practical insights that can be drawn from an
improvisational view of organizational life. With contributions
from managers in both the private and public sectors, the book
explores human communication skills and interactions to provide a
unique exploration of "working live." It will be ofinterest to
advanced students and practitioners.
