Managing in a VUCA World de Oliver Mack

Managing in a VUCA World

Editat de Oliver Mack, Anshuman Khare, Andreas Krämer, Thomas Burgartz
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 30 iul 2015

Structura volumului Managing in a VUCA World este concepută ca un parcurs analitic riguros, fiind divizată în șase secțiuni distincte care translatează conceptul VUCA (volatilitate, incertitudine, complexitate și ambiguitate) din teorie în aplicații practice. Primele secțiuni introduc cititorul în fenomenologia complexității, trecând rapid spre nucleul strategic al cărții: leadershipul și planificarea. Putem afirma că forța acestui volum rezidă în abordarea multidisciplinară; autorii integrează instrumente surprinzătoare, precum logica Tetralemma și metoda constelațiilor sistemice structurale (SySt), împrumutate din psihoterapie, pentru a oferi soluții în managementul programelor strategice de anvergură.

Merită menționat că progresia conținutului nu se oprește la nivelul decizional înalt, ci coboară în mecanismele operaționale ale organizației. Secțiunile dedicate marketingului, vânzărilor și managementului lanțului de aprovizionare demonstrează cum gândirea sintetică trebuie să înlocuiască modelele liniare depășite. Complementar volumului Flexible Strategies in VUCA Markets, care se concentrează pe avantajul competitiv și limitele organizaționale, lucrarea editată de Oliver Mack și echipa sa acoperă zona tehnică a proceselor de IT, tehnologie și data management, oferind o viziune integrată asupra infrastructurii necesare pentru a supraviețui instabilității.

În contextul operei editorilor, acest titlu reprezintă o tranziție clară către cercetarea operațională aplicată în afaceri contemporane, spre deosebire de alte lucrări cu profil istoric sau tehnic documentar precum Kritischer Katalog der Luther-Bildnisse (1519-1530). Credem că această lucrare nu este doar o analiză a prezentului, ci un punct de plecare pentru dezvoltarea unui nou mod de management, bazat pe agilitate decizională și înțelegerea profundă a interconectivității globale.

Textul de pe ultima copertă

This book examines volatility, uncertainty, complexity and ambiguity (VUCA) and addresses the need for broader knowledge and application of new concepts and frameworks to deal with unpredictable and rapid changing situations. The premises of VUCA can shape all aspects of an organization. To cover all areas, the book is divided into six sections. Section 1 acts as an introduction to VUCA and complexity. It reviews ways to manage complexity, while providing examples for tools and approaches that can be applied. The main focus of Section 2 is on leadership, strategy and planning. The chapters in this section create new approaches to handle VUCA environments pertaining to these areas including using the Tetralemma logics, tools from systemic structural constellation (SySt) approach of psychotherapy and organizational development, to provide new ideas for the management of large strategic programs in organizations. Section 3 considers how marketing and sales are affected by VUCA, from social media’s influence to customer value management. Operations and cost management are highlighted in Section 4. This section covers VUCA challenges within global supply chains and decision-oriented controlling. In Section 5 organizational structure and process management are showcased, while Section 6 is dedicated to addressing the effects of VUCA in IT, technology and data management. The VUCA forces present businesses with the need to move from linear modes of thought to problem solving with synthetic and simultaneous thinking. This book should help to provide some starting points and ideas to deal with the next era. It should not be understood as the end of the road, but as the beginning of a journey exploring and developing new concepts for a new way of management.
