In Zeiten laufender Veranderungen wachst der Bedarf an Orientierung
und Beratung, auch in Nonprofit-Organisationen. Positiv verlaufende
AEnderungsprozesse sind nur in enger Kooperation zwischen internem
Management und externer Beratung moeglich. Zahlreiche
Falldarstellungen geben Einblick in die Praxis.
Anhand 14 konkreter Fallbeispiele zeigt dieses Buch, wie
Organisationsentwicklung in der Praxis wirklich funktioniert. Wie
kann das Organisieren betrieblicher Veranderung gelingen? Was sind
dafur relevante Bedingungen? Wo liegen die Scheiternsfallen? Welche
Instrumente und Tools funktionieren, welche funktionieren weniger
und warum? Die Fallbeispiele greifen dabei auf ein breites
Repertoire an Methoden zuruck und sind in einer Vielzahl
verschiedener Kontexte angesiedelt, so dass Leserinnen und Leser
einen profunden Eindruck der praktischen Organisationsentwicklung
gewinnen.
Die Entwicklung von Krankenhausern ist ein hoechst aktuelles und
weitgehend ungeloestes Problem. Erstmals wird anhand
internationaler Fallbeispiele Auskunft uber konkrete
Reorganisationsprojekte in Krankenhausern und
Gesundheitseinrichtungen gegeben. Die Autoren beleuchten klar und
verstandlich den Stellenwert von Organisationsentwicklung fur die
komplexen Steuerungsanforderungen des Krankenversorgungssystems.
Die Praxisbeispiele vermitteln einen guten UEberblick uber
unterschiedliche Zugange und Problemstellungen von Veranderung; sie
bieten eine praktische und theoretisch fundierte Orientierung aus
erster Hand. Daruber hinaus konturiert das Buch exemplarisch das
Profil einer "intelligenten Organisation". Ein gesellschaftlich
zukunftsweisender Umgang mit oeffentlichen Gutern wie Gesundheit,
Bildung, Sicherheit, soziale Integration u.a. stellt hohe
Anforderungen an die dafur eingerichteten Organisationen und ihre
Steuerung. Diese Beitrage sind beispielhaft fur intelligente
Organisationen in anderen Sektoren.
Offentliche Organisationen sind heute mit dramatischen
Veranderungen ihrer Rahmenbedingungen konfrontiert. Neue
Leistungen, kostengunstigeres Wirtschaften und hohere inhaltliche
Qualitat sind gefragt. Die Bewaltigung dieser Veranderungen braucht
Verstandnis fur die spezifische Organisationsdynamik. Die Polizei
ist nicht auf dem gleichen Wege wie Krankenhauser, die Mullabfuhr
nicht wie Schulen oder Ministerien reformierbar. Anhand des
Konzepts der Expertenorganisation reflektiert der Band uber den
spezifischen Veranderungsbedarf der Systeme Krankenhaus, Schule und
Universitat. Von konkreten Forschungs- und Beratungsprojekten des
Instituts fur Interdisziplinare Forschung und Fortbildung
ausgehend, werden Kernthemen der Reform des offentlichen Dienstes
diskutiert: Dezentralisierung, Leitbildentwicklung, Management von
Veranderung, Effizienz und Kundenorientierung."
Wie kann das von wissenschaftlichen Instituten produzierte Wissen
in die Entscheidungen und Arbeitsweisen anderer Systeme wirksam
eingebracht werden? Welcher Stellenwert kommt in einer
Gesellschaft, deren Probleme in wachsendem Masse hochspezialisierte
Organisationen bearbeiten, der Qualifizierung und Aufklarung von
Personen zu? Was bedeutet es, wissenschaftliche Arbeit als
Intervention in soziale Systeme zu begreifen? Dieser Band
beschreibt die Konzepte, Ideen und Methoden, die das IFF verwendet,
um diesen Herausforderungen zu begegnen. Die UEberlegungen stammen
aus den Erfahrungen in den Arbeitsgebieten des IFF: OEkologie,
Schulentwicklung, Organisationsentwicklung des Gesundheitswesens
und Reform der Universitat. Das Buch soll Wissenschaftler,
Fuhrungskrafte und Professionelle zum fachlichen Diskurs, aber auch
zu organisatorischer Selbstreflexion anregen.
This book presents - for the first time in the English language -
the concept of systemic organization development and its use in
management and consultancy. It demonstrates in a succinct and
compact way, how the systemic approach, in its up-to-date version,
is well suited to describe and handle complex challenges in diverse
organizations of all sectors of society. First, the authors sketch
out the crucial role organizations play today and the increasing
importance of their ability to change. The central theme of the
book is thus the design of organizational change processes with the
help of different tools. These tools deal cautiously with
employees, clients and cooperation partners in order to ensure
sustainable success of an organization. In the final chapters the
authors delve into specific attitudes during the change process,
such as the building of trust and the allowing of emotions. Several
cases illustrate how the concept and the tools promote
organizational development. The book well provides a practical
guideline. Additionally, the book talks about important aspects
managers have to pay attention to, such as dealing with concerns
and resistance. The values of the systemic concept like
sustainability, selective participation and growth from inside are
convincingly exemplified. The book is theoretically sound and
grounded by the authors' long management and consulting experience
and their research activities with the university background. It is
addressed mainly at actors in corporations, not-for-profit and
public organizations, who's task it is to organize, design and
effectuate change while the daily business continues alongside.
These actors may be leaders, managers, experts, consultants,
project managers or employees.

Education, Research, Health, Social Security and other "public
goods" are organised by a mix of organisations, partly
publicly-funded, partly private enterprises, partly public-private
partnerships. The quality of the services relies greatly on the
coordination and collaboration of these specialised organisations.
How can cooperative relationships be built that guarantee trustful
communication, binding decisions, and productive team-work? How can
collaboration and competition be balanced? What are the differences
between loose-coupled networks and tightly built collaborations and
which type is the best solution for which tasks? How can mergers be
managed as result of such collaboration? How must organisations
prepare themselves and their internal structures to engage in
trans-organisational collaboration? This volume investigates the
potential and challenges inherent in collaborative ventures. It is
based on the authors' rich experiences derived from consulting
engagements and research projects in publicly-funded service
organisations, non-profit organisations, public-private
partnerships, and for-profit enterprises. The focus is on the role
that management consultants can play in facilitating such
collaborative ventures. Especially within the European context,
this particular organisational form is becoming an increasingly
common and powerful type of organisational system, and, as such,
interventions that can ease and expedite their performance demand
our attention and scholarship. As the authors skillfully document
and illustrate, cooperative relationships and networks function
according to their own underlying logic, which is typically
grounded in a spirit of collaboration and negotiation. As they
argue, the resulting dynamic reflects a different perspective on
building interpersonal, intergroup, and inter-organisational
relationships, one that is removed from historic attempts at
coordination through tight hierarchical control, which, as they
underscore, is often "inflexible, bureaucratic, and incapable" of
achieving the level of commitment and dedication necessary for
success. Collaborative ventures involve goals that must be jointly
pursued, the partnerships must strive for levels commitment,
involvement and motivation from their members that go well beyond
those that hierarchical top-down structures typically provide. As
the authors convincingly demonstrate, such high levels of
collaboration do not emerge on their own. Mergers, acquisitions,
joint ventures, partnerships, and strategic alliances are often
launched with great fanfare, only to fall well short of pre-venture
expectations. To truly work in practice, collaborative
relationships and networks must be deliberately formed, developed,
organised, and guided. Yet, as this volume amply illustrates, the
underlying process is infused with a number of tensions - from the
challenge of balancing collaboration and competition, to the
appropriate mix of loose-tight controls and linkages, to ensuring
commitment from members to the partnership while they maintain
allegiance to their primary organisation. This volume appeals to an
international market. It is part of an effort to continue to learn
across cultural perspectives, focusing on current thinking in the
European context. The reader will become intrigued by the Austrian
approach to organisational intervention, especially in the context
of inter-organisational settings.

Social inequality is a subject of contemporary concerns. Life
capabilities and the access to resources vary significantly in rich
and poor countries, between elites and others. Furthermore,
inequalities based on bio-anthropological and
non-bio-anthropological causes are almost universal. Accordingly,
inequality was also inherent in past societies and archaeologists
have continually examined and interpreted social inequalities in
sources such as burial grounds. This book continues such analyses
with a new multi-proxy approach. It reveals social inequalities in
selected past burial grounds from Southwestern Germany. The burial
grounds date to the Early Neolithic (Schwetzingen), the Late
Neolithic (Lauda-Königshofen), the Early Bronze Age (Singen), the
Early Iron Age (Magdalenenbergle), and the Early Medieval period
(Horb-Altheim). The challenge was to identify hierarchical and
heterarchical differences and inequalities within the burial
grounds based on a multitude of different proxies. The examination
encompasses variations in the distribution of grave goods, burial
pit sizes, bio-anthropological and isotope data. Furthermore,
spatial analyses of burial grounds and, in particular, on the
distances between the graves play an essential role in this
examination. The results reveal social inequalities among and
within genders and age cohorts that are differently pronounced in
the respective cemeteries. Furthermore, the results of multi-proxy
analyses lead to the interpretation that the sites differ
concerning the respective degrees of inequality and power strategy
modes. In detail, it can be observed that the Early Iron Age and
the Early Bronze Age sites demonstrate a relatively high degree of
inequality as compared to the other sites. More specifically, the
investigation of sites from the Early Iron Age and the Late
Neolithic rather reveal a network-based power strategy, whereas
sites from the Early Neolithic, the Early Bronze Age and the Early
Medieval period tend to show a corporate-based power strategy.
