Leading Change in a Complex World : Transdisciplinary Perspectives

Abstract

Leading Change in a Complex World : Transdisciplinary Perspectives on poikkitieteellinen kirja, joka tarjoaa johtajille, johtajuuden tutkijoille sekä opiskelijoille työkaluja monimutkaisissa ja kytköksisissä ympäristöissä suunnistamiseen. Kirjassa esitellään analyyttinen viitekehys, joka rakentuu kompleksisuuden, relationaalisuuden ja dynaamisen muutoksen käsitteiden ympärille. Kirjan luvuissa näitä käsitteitä hyödynnetään yhteiskunnan, organisaatioiden, politiikan sekä liike-elämän ilmiöiden analyysiin. Luvut käsittelevät esimerkiksi globaalin turvallisuusympäristön muutosta, kaupungistumista, työvoiman ikääntymistä sekä valtioiden ja yritystoiminnan suhdetta. Johtajuutta tarkastellaan niin valtionjohdon kuin yhteiskunnallisten sidosryhmien toiminnan kautta. Muutoksen mahdollisuuksien tarkastelussa huomio kiinnittyy esimerkiksi megatrendeihin, muuttuviin globaaleihin valtablokkeihin, kulutuskäytäntöihin sekä kiertotalouden mahdollisuuksiin.

Leading Change in a Complex World : Transdisciplinary Perspectives is a new transdisciplinary book offering tools for leaders, analysts and students of leadership to navigate in complex and interconnected settings. It proposes an analytical framework based on complexity, relational leadership, and dynamic change. Individual chapters examine these ideas in relation to topical societal, organisational and business challenges such as the changing global security environment, urbanisation, demographic changes, and business-government relations. The leadership roles of heads of states and societal stakeholders are analysed, and versatile leadership and management practices from conflict management to evaluation are introduced. The possibilities for change are examined through global megatrends, shifting global power blocs, changes in consumer practices, as well as those emanating from abstract concepts such as the circular economy.
