Organisational Flexibility in an Age of Chaos

Rezensionen / Stimmen

"How to best make sense of the turbulence organizations face? Academic articles go deep and narrow - which is great but also leaves us wonder what the big picture looks like. So, if you have been craving for a comprehensive discussion that brings together different perspectives, this book is for you!" Christian Stadler, Professor of Strategic Management, Warwick Business School, Author of Open Strategy (MIT Press)

"This is a timely and thought-provoking book that challenges conventional thinking about management and organisation in a world marked by uncertainty and disruption. Andres Hatum brings academic rigour, personal insight, and a critical eye to issues that matter - from leadership failures to organisational resilience - making this a valuable read for scholars and practitioners alike." Paula Jarzabkowski, FBA, FASSA, Professor of Strategic Management, UQ Business School, University of Queensland, Bayes Business School (formerly Cass), City, University of London

"To speak of flexibility today is not to use a trendy metaphor, but to address a critical strategic and empirical necessity. In a world where control is limited, time is compressed, and the connection between actions and outcomes is increasingly unclear, flexibility is no longer optional-it is the organizational muscle that enables learning, innovation, and survival." Nick van Dam PhD, Professor at IE Business School, External Senior Advisor and Faculty at McKinsey & Company

"In this book, Hatum addresses key issues of our time - the chaotic world environment, mis-managed organisations and poor leadership. The topic is brought to life by lively examples and case studies, as Hatum argues for pathways towards greater flexibility and adaptation in organisations. Highly recommended!" Maureen Meadows, Professor of Strategic Management, Coventry University, Author of "Strategy: Theory, Practice, Implementation" (Oxford University Press)

"Chaos is typically blamed on external shocks. But in this timely book, Andres Hatum shows us that much of the chaos confronting today's managers is a problem of their own making - and therefore something they can do something about." Torkild Thanem, Professor of Management & Organization Studies, Stockholm University
