Dieses Buch gibt Ihnen eine Antwort auf die Frage: Was ist Organisationales Lernen? Was verhindert und was fördert Organisationales Lernen? Sie werden eingeladen das Phänomen des Organisationalen Lernens aus verschiedenen Blickwinkeln zu betrachten. Aus der eines Experten für Unternehmenskultur, aus der eines Mikropolitikers, aus der eines Wissensmanagers und aus der eines Kybernetikers. Wir beginnen mit der Perspektive eines Informations- und Wahrnehmungsexperten und der eines Forschers, der daran glaubt, dass die Anpassungsfähigkeit eines Unternehmens das Fundament für die Zukunftsfähigkeit jeder Organisation ist. Sie finden die Namen großer Praktiker und Theoretiker, die mit ihrer Art das Phänomen „Organisation“ zu beschreiben nachhaltig zu einem Verständnis dazu beigetragen haben, was in Organisationen täglich Sinnvolles oder sinnlos Erscheinendes passiert. Im Rahmen einer empirischen Studie wurden Dimensionen des Organisationalen Lernens mit dem betriebsinternen Innovationsmanagement abgeglichen. Das untersuchte Unternehmen hatte sich fest vorgenommen durch die Einführung neuer Prozesse und Tools, die „Time to Market“ zu halbieren. Tatsächlich ist aber genau das Gegenteil eingetreten. Der Begriff des Organisationalen Lernens scheint aus der Mode gekommen zu sein. Auf der anderen Seite gibt es kaum einen holistischeren Ansatz, der dabei helfen kann, die Realität in Organisationen zu verstehen und im Sinne des Unternehmenserfolgs zu gestalten.

In a world of stiffening competition, business strategy is more crucial than ever. Yet most organizations struggle in this area--not with formulating strategy but with executing it, or putting their strategy into action. Owing to execution failures, companies realize just a fraction of the financial performance promised in their strategic plans. It doesn't have to be that way, maintain Robert Kaplan and David Norton in The Execution Premium. Building on their breakthrough works on strategy-focused organizations, the authors describe a multistage system that enables you to gain measurable benefits from your carefully formulated business strategy. This book shows you how to: Develop an effective strategy--with tools such as SWOT analysis, vision formulation, and strategic change agendas Plan execution of the strategy--through portfolios of strategic initiatives linked to strategy maps and Balanced Scorecards Put your strategy into action--by integrating operational tools such as process dashboards, rolling forecasts, and activity-based costing Test and update your strategy--using carefully designed management meetings to review operational and strategic data Drawing on extensive research and detailed case studies from a broad array of industries, The Execution Premium presents a systematic and proven framework for achieving the financial results promised by your strategy.

Macrologistics is a strategic view of logistics as a production factor on national scales to support a shift towards sustainability. The book details logistics' evolution from a functional discipline to a value chain optimiser and, ultimately, an enabler of sustainability, including the evolution of metrics to support this shift. Macrologistics instrumentation involves striving towards the lowest total cost of ownership for national economies where, to improve decision-making, these costs should ultimately include the societal and ecological costs incurred due to logistics activities. From Logistics Strategy to Macrologistics represents macrologistics research outputs for a number of developing economies, identifying distinctive macrologistics policy and infrastructure investments themes to address national logistics challenges in developing economies. The book culminates in a discussion on the potential future role of logistics to support the shift to a more sustainable society, where an acceptance of a degrowth paradigm might be required, and even advisable, for a more secure, fulfilling future. Logistics (and economics) scholars, researchers and practitioners should steer their work towards contributing to the development of an ecologically sustainable society, where resources and returns are shared widely, sustainably and equitably.

At the intersection of new scholarship on higher education with on-the-ground insight into managing institutions. This book began as a collaboration among top higher education researchers, the Association for the Study of Higher Education (ASHE) scholars, and the Council of Independent Colleges (CIC). Documenting the challenges and opportunities facing independent colleges in several integral areas, including public purposes and student engagement, The Challenge of Independent Colleges is informed by the reactions of independent campus presidents and provosts who work every day to act on the opportunities presented by private colleges and universities. Each of the nine chapters is written by a leading higher education scholar and frames highly relevant issues for administrators at independent colleges and universities. Topics range from “Access and Affordability” and “Assessment” to “Ensuring Student Success” and “Institutional Strategy.” Each chapter is followed by a short, critical reaction written by a provost or president at a CIC member institution. These reactions demonstrate how the information contained in the chapter might be used by institutional leaders to make decisions and what other information on the chapter’s topic might be useful for leaders at independent colleges and universities. An important resource for higher education scholars and campus leaders, this text will also be a useful addition to courses on education. Contributors: John M. Braxton, Erin B.
