Sobre IBD

From companies, public administrations, universities, and schools to hospitals, prisons, political parties, and the military, organizations influence us from the moment we are born to the moment we die. However, we receive no training in how to deal with them, whether as their members, customers, patients, or voters.Organizations-what are these entities that have such a strong influence on modern society? What makes them tick? What are our options for changing them? This book explains how organizations function by examining three of their central characteristics: membership, goals, and hierarchies.Describing organizations metaphorically as 'façades,' 'machines,' and 'games,' the author sheds lights on three important sides-their image, formal side, and informal side-and provides a broad set of tools for better understanding them. 3

    Stefan Kühl
    Organizations construct their environments themselves. From the bewildering, chaotic array of impressions, they take those bits of information that enable them to produce such a view of the environment – one that makes it possible for them to operate in the environment with relative confidence.

  • Sisyphus in Management
    Stefan Kühl
    On the one hand, employees are supposed to compete with one another as “intrapreneurs,” on the other, cooperation among employees is a top priority. The motto is: we are all pulling together but only the best will prevail. On the one hand, “intrapreneurs” are supposed to break the rules that have been handed down from above, yet at the same time they are supposed to respect the...

  • Influencing Organizational Culture
    Stefan Kühl
    In the management discourse few words are thrown about more carelessly than ‘organizational culture’. While the term is usually defined too broadly—including such phenomena as assumptions, values, traditions, articles of faith, myths and artifacts—this book applies a far more narrow concept. Organizational culture, or the informal structure of an organization, is a term used to...
