Managing in a VUCA World
Author: Oliver Mack
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 3319168894
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 268
Book Description
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.

Managing VUCA Through Integrative Self-Management
Author: Sharda S. Nandram
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 3319522310
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 338
Book Description
In this book, experts discuss whether volatility, uncertainty, complexity and ambiguity (VUCA) represent a challenge or a business opportunity. More intense debates on global climate change, increased turbulence in financial quarters, increased job insecurity and high levels of stress at the workplace are attracting attention in the context of organization behavior and entrepreneurship. Fear and confusion have become part and parcel of business, often undermining trust, cooperation and inspiration. As a response, a new way of organizing self-management has emerged. The book combines practical wisdom from East and West, to develop integrative self-management theory and practice; provides direction to support an integrative mind-set, integrative organization and integrative leadership; and presents VUCA as an opportunity and necessity for development and growth, rather than a threat.

Reimagining Management in the post VUCA World
Author: Samik Shome
Publisher: Allied Publishers
ISBN: 939095147X
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 480
Book Description
This volume contains 27 papers in all. The papers included in this volume provide various facets of the management perspectives in the field of human resources, corporate governance, sustainability, entrepreneurship and gig economy, among others. Admittedly, in a multi-author book such as this, a divergence of topics and issues as well as views on a given topic or issue is inevitable. The book encompasses in its fold a wide range of business and policy issues in the Indian setup. Further, in view of the fact that the various papers included in the present volume are authored by researchers with diverse interests and backgrounds, it is not surprising that each paper may look unique even in terms of its structure of presentation, too. In such a situation, the editor’s dilemma should not be difficult to imagine for the reader. As editors of this volume, therefore, we deliberately preferred to keep the author’s style, arguments or conclusions, intact. In more precise terms, the papers included in this volume are largely in their original form and content. Although we, not being completely oblivious of our editorial responsibilities, have attempted some cosmetic aesthetics here and there in respect of some papers.

The Forward-Looking Manager in a VUCA World
Author: Col. Vikram Bakshi
Publisher: SAGE Publications Pvt. Limited
ISBN: 9789386602312
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 312
Book Description
Visit the Book site for more information Many large organizations are having to cede their market dominance to new disruptive players. Well-oiled organizations are hitting roadblocks due to unanticipated problems that are slowing down operations. VUCA is affecting organizations like never before - impacting schedules, delaying deliverables, and causing cost overruns. Managing projects has become a nightmare with the uncertainties and ambiguities of business, delaying integration of allied activities, making the project a non-starter even before it gets off the ground. In this VUCA world, it is imperative to confront the volatile, embrace the unknown, conquer the complex, and understand the ambiguous to be able to predict what lies ahead. This book helps managers master the art of dealing with VUCA by providing relatable experiences from the armed forces and advocating the use of RACE methodology. The book suggests disruptive tools and methods, and advises managers on the leadership traits needed for successfully completing projects by cutting losses and preventing chaos. It is a must-read for all managers involved in operations, supply chain, logistics, and production and manufacturing portfolios. Ex-army personnel who are starting a second career in the corporate/private sector will also greatly benefit from reading this book.
