Book excerpt: Die kürzlich erfolgte atomare Katastrophe in Fukushima (Japan) hat vielen Organisationen angesichts eines ständig wachsenden Gefahrenpotenzials, in Folge immer riskanterer Technologien, die Notwendigkeit der Anpassung in schmerzlicher Weise bewusst gemacht. In diesem Zusammenhang wird die Beschäftigung mit jenen Strategien, welche in den High Reliability Organizations ein weitgehend fehlerloses Funktionieren ermöglichen, vordringlich. Im Rahmen dieser Diplomarbeit wird deshalb ein Überblick über den Stand der High Reliability Organizations- Literatur geboten. Speziell wird auf die Strukturen und Prozesse dieser Organisationen eingegangen. High Reliability Organizations sind Organisationen, in welchen Fehler zu katastrophalen Folgen führen können, welche jedoch über lange Perioden relativ fehlerfrei funktionieren und sehr zuverlässige Resultate produzieren. Beispiele sind: atombetriebene Flugzeugträger, Atomkraftwerke etc. Im Verlauf der Arbeit werden die Entstehungsgeschichte der High Reliability Theorie sowie ihrer Vorläufer und parallel entstandenen Theorien vorgestellt. In Zukunft sollen die Ergebnisse der High Reliability Theorie gewinnbringend in anderen Systemen verwertet werden. Eine Reihe von Arbeiten haben sich die Aufgabe gestellt, die Ergebnisse der Anwendung dieser Theorien z.B. in Krankenhäusern und Schulen, zu untersuchen. In einer qualitativen Inhaltsanalyse werden die Ergebnisse verschiedener Autoren, die sich mit der Frage von High Reliability Organisationsstrukturen und -Prozessen beschäftigen, untersucht. Dabei zeigt sich, dass fast alle Autoren auf die ursprünglichen drei untersuchten Organisationen (Flugsicherung, Kriegsmarine, Energieversorgung) zurückkommen. Das grundlegende Werk von Weick und Sutcliffe Das Unerwartete managen- Wie Unternehmen aus Extremsituationen lernen bietet den umfassendsten Überblick. Bei der Anwendung auf neue Gebiete wie Krankenhäuser und Schulen zeigt sich, dass die Umsetzung auf große Schwierigkeiten stößt, die vor allem im menschlichen Faktor begründet sind.*****In connection with the recent catastrophe in Fukushima (Japan) it has become even more important to analyse those strategies which in High Reliability Organizations make it possible to avoid errors to a very high degree. In the course of this thesis a general overview regarding the present state of High Reliability Literature is provided and special focus is laid on the structures and processes of these organizations. A High Reliability Organization is an organization in which error could lead to catastrophes, which, however, seems able to produce operations that are free of error to a high degree over long periods with satisfactory results. Examples are: nuclear- powered aircraft carriers, nuclear power stations etc. In the course of this thesis the history of the development of the High Reliability Theory and its predecessors will be shown. In future the results of the High Reliability Theory are to be applied profitably to other systems, such as hospitals and schools. A qualitative content analysis examines the results found by various authors, who deal with the subject of organizational structure and processes. Nearly all authors concentrate on the originally examined three organizations (air traffic control systems, nuclear- powered aircraft carriers, nuclear power stations). The best summary of the theme is provided by the book by Weick und Sutcliffe Managing the unexpected- Assuring high performance in an age of complexity. It is shown that the greatest stumbling block to the application of the theory to hospitals and schools is the human factor.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Increasingly, scholars view reliability—the ability to plan for and withstand disaster—as a social construction. However, there is a tendency to evoke this concept only in the face of catastrophes, such as the British Petroleum oil spill or the Space Shuttle Challenger explosion. This book frames reliability as a fundamental issue in the study of organizations—one that can also improve day-to-day operations. Bringing together a diverse cast of contributors, it considers how we can account for the ability of some organizations to maintain high reliability and what we can learn from them. The chapters distinguish reliability from related lines of inquiry; take stock of relevant research from different disciplinary perspectives; highlight implications for practice; and identify directions, questions, and priorities for future research. The first of its kind in over twenty years, this volume delivers a dynamic base of shared knowledge and an integrative research agenda at a time when organizational reliability has never been so important.

This book was released on 2021-04-02 with total page 374 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The COVID-19 pandemic is the largest global health crisis that we have faced since World War II. The greatest challenge for organizations was to establish a clear vision for a quick change that needs to be shared with employees in a way that is both understandable and inspiring. The year 2020 is a time of global change where leaders need to fulfill the change management role with decisions made efficiently and sustainably. To understand the impact of the pandemic on organizations, researchers will need to trace leadership development and change management in the Post-COVID-19 Era. These studies will help to present the different types of leadership roles, policies, and strategies for business transformation in the time of crisis. Global Perspectives on Change Management and Leadership in the Post-COVID-19 Era highlights the global perspectives of COVID-19’s impact on change management and leadership and presents the lessons learned and opportunities afforded to promote new strategies and develop better practices within the field. The chapters report on case studies and real-life challenges faced by organizations in countries across the globe. This book covers important topics such as business sustainability, newfound challenges in the workplace, adaptive performance, success factors within organizations, corporate governance, and more. This is a valuable reference work for managers, executives, practitioners, researchers, students, academicians, stakeholders, business leaders, and anyone interested in leadership styles and the management of change during and after the COVID-19 pandemic.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The literature on 'high reliability organizations' demonstrates how central reliability is to organizing in certain highly demanding settings. In more mundane settings, however, where there may not be a dominant type of catastrophic failure, the meaning attributed to reliability is less likely to be unambiguous and consensual. It is more likely to be explicitly relational: a quality of the relationship between an entity that is being relied on and an entity that is relying on it. This draws attention to the importance of the relying process in contributing to how a system performs and whether it meets expectations. A field study was carried out in a highway construction and maintenance organization to analyse the various understandings of reliability that organizational members had in different contexts. It found that there were multiple understandings - involving a capacity not only to achieve particular outcomes but also comply with norms, fit behaviour to situations, and communicate about what could and could not be achieved. It also found that reliability problems were not solved in some simple sense. Instead they were transformed into other reliability problems that then had to be managed by further effort or by other organizations. We suggest that recognizing the multiple meanings of reliability, the importance of relying, and the way in which reliability problems are transformed from one form to another all have important practical implications.

Book excerpt: Social identity research has transformed psychology and the social sciences. Developed around intergroup relations, perspectives on social identity have now been applied fruitfully to a diverse array of topics and domains, including health, organizations and management, culture, politics and group dynamics. In many of these new areas, the focus has been on groups, but also very much on the autonomous individual. This has been an exciting development, and has prompted a rethinking of the relationship between personal identity and social identity - the issue of individuality in the group. This book brings together an international selection of prominent researchers at the forefront of this development. They reflect on this issue of individuality in the group, and on how thinking about social identity has changed. Together, these chapters chart a key development in the field: how social identity perspectives inform understanding of cohesion, unity and collective action, but also how they help us understand individuality, agency, autonomy, disagreement, and diversity within groups. This text is valuable to advanced undergraduate and postgraduate students studying social psychology where intergroup relations and group processes are a central component. Given its wider reach, however, it will also be of interest to those in cognate disciplines where social identity perspectives have application potential.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is often said that the practice of management is in crisis, and that managers are now finding it harder than ever to develop strategies which withstand the shocks of the marketplace. This illuminating book cuts through these conflicting issues to show how organizational communication plays a vital role in confronting uncertainty. Arguing that many managers fail to adequately consider the communication consequences of the decision making process and its impact on organizational effectiveness, Hargie and Tourish present here numerous organizational communication insights, and show how they reveal a way through these dilemmas. Based on cutting-edge research findings and case studies, this book features contributions from the UK, USA, Canada, New Zealand and Norway, bringing multiple perspectives to this topical subject. The result is a comprehensive guide to organizational communication useful for managers, academics and students.

Book excerpt: Too Much Invested to Quit focuses on the applications of paradigms in the resolution of international relations, taking as backdrop issues in marriage, labor disputes, and price wars. The manuscript first offers information on the dollar auction game, a simple game that can be employed in large groups or in laboratory situations. Studies on economic and interpersonal motives when bidding against a deck of cards; sex differences and effects of team bidding; and effects of experience on the length of auction are discussed. The text also focuses on the stages of escalation and physiological and personality correlates of escalation. Topics include effects of resources on the length of auction; physiology as a dependent measure; physiology as an independent manipulation; and personality and the dollar auction. The publication explains the dollar auction and study of conflict escalation, as well as study and theories of escalation; the dollar auction and the Vietnam War; limit setting in warfare; and price warfare. The book also takes a look at real life and the dollar auction. Considerations include generalized dollar auction game and industrial bargaining, strikes, work stoppages, and divorce. The manuscript is a dependable source of reference for readers interested in the use of paradigms in the resolution of international relations.
