High Reliability and Crisis Management

Coping with the Growing Threat of Mega-Crises and Mega-Messes

Swans, Swine, and Swindlers

Can M. Alpaslan and Ian I. Mitroff

Learning From the Global Financial Crisis

Edited by Paul Shrivastava and Matt Statler

AVAILABLE IN JANUARY 2012

Creatively, Reliably, and Sustainably

This volume furnishes insights about the financial crisis and how to move beyond it from the perspectives of aesthetic management, high reliability and crisis management, and sustainability science. It casts new light on traditional economic and managerial theories and policies and provides fresh ideas to a new generation of scholars and practitioners. on target in identifying creativityhuman, social, organizational, and ecologicalas key to any paradigm shift in the economy . This volume makes tangible this key insight, engaging readers with essays that are at once informative and provocative .
Ronald Purser, San Francisco State University, co-editor of 24/7: Time and Temporality in the Network Society

This book explores the concept of messes. A mess is a web of complex and dynamically interacting, ill-defined, and/or wicked problems; their solutions; and our conscious and unconscious assumptions, beliefs, emotions, and values. The roots of messes can be classified as Swans (the inability to surface and test false assumptions and mistaken beliefs), Swine (the inability to confront and manage greed, hubris, arrogance, and narcissism), and Swindlers (the inability to confront, detect, and stop unethical and corrupt behavior). Working systematically with this concept and these classifications, authors Can M. Alpaslan and Ian I. Mitroff reveal that all crises are messes; one must learn to understand and manage them as such. They then provide tools and frameworks that readers can use to more effectively deal with the crises of today and tomorrow.
Takes us into the a world of mega messes and show us how to avoid mega crises . a must-read for any leader of the 21st Century!
Marshall Goldsmith, best-selling author of What Got You Here Wont Get You There, Succession: Are You Ready? and MOJO

The mandarins of Wall street would like us to believe that The Great financial Crisis of 2008 was a Perfect storm, a once-inseveral-lifetimes alignment of destructive elements beyond anybodys control . Mitroff and alpaslan disagree . They convince us that it was a mega crisis enmeshed in a mega mess . Crucially, the authors provide us with a road map for coping with such crises and messes in the future .

The Roots, Rituals, and Rhetorics of Change

Mie Augier and James G. March

North American Business Schools After the Second World War

A historical study of the changes that took place in North American business schools in the 25 years after the Second World, their roots in earlier history, and their impact on the rhetoric of debate over key issues in management education. The book considers at least three core questions: Should business schools concern themselves primarily with experiential knowledge or with academic knowledge? What vision of managers and management should be reflected by business schools? Finally, how does managerial education connect its teaching to some version of reality?
This is a great story that has never been told with such clarity, empirical support, and conceptual breadth . The book draws on the particular strengths and perspectives of each of the authors . augier is a stunningly accomplished intellectual historian of business school culture . Meanwhile, March is the preeminent organizational theorist, who shares a story only he is fit tellas story about how risky and foolish change is for organizations, how it happens more through arrogance and ignorance than skill and foresight .

Appropriating the Fields Lost Foundations
Ellen S. OConnor

An Examination of Grassroots Leaders in Higher Education

Adrianna J. Kezar and Jaime Lester

Enhancing Campus Capacity for Leadership

This book rediscovers lost sources in the work of Mary Parker Follett and Chester Barnard, providing a foundation for management as a unique and coherent discipline. It demonstrates how the shared values, purposes, and customs of management and the humanities can be used to build an enterprise that will help to meet the challenges of business today. Igniting approaches to management that build on humanistic traditions is the ultimate goal of this book.
This thoughtful book highlights the need for business schools to teach current managers and managers-to-be the benefits of appreciating and acting upon this key notion: the expansion of cooperative behavior and the development of the individual are mutually dependent realities, and a balance of these two elements is needed for an organization to maintain vitality .
Joe Mahoney, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign

Grassroots leadership is one of the most promising approaches to replenishing higher learning by helping to bring greater clarity and cohesion to our nations colleges and universities . Ideas are precious, and this text advances several promising onesnot only for enriching the literature on leadership for change, but also the daily lives of those of us who believe that we need to work together to bring about a meaningful future . What a pleasure to read a book in which one feels that one is in conversation with the authors . This is an exemplary piece of work .
Clifton Conrad, University of Wisconsin-Madison and co-editor of The SAGE Handbook on Research in Education: Ideas as the Keystone of Exemplary Inquiry, Second Edition

Generates a new understanding of the origins of management thought, linking this to current debates about the role of business schools .
Ken Starkey, Nottingham University and author of The Business School and the Bottom Line

Dr . oConnor blends careful research and meticulous scholarship with her keen philosophical and postmodern perspective to reinterpret the world and works of Mary Parker follett and Chester barnard for our time . My sense is that this book will be the definitive work on barnard for the next generation of scholars .

a veritable treasure-trove from which the critical systems thinker can choose in constructing appropriate systemic responses to complex situations .
Michael C. Jackson, Hull University Business School, author of Systems Thinking: Creative Holism for Managers and Systems Approaches to Management

Systems Concepts in Action

The Evaluation Society argues that if we want to understand many of the norms, values, and expectations that we, sometimes unknowingly, bring to evaluation, we should explore how evaluation is demanded, formatted, and shaped by the two great principles of social order: organization and society. This is a cogent, persuasive, compelling, and clever examination of how evaluation practices are required, designed, and fashioned by both organizational logics and conceptions of society . It should be required reading for evaluation practitioners, as well as all professionals who engage in evaluation as part of their work .
Thomas A. Schwandt, University of Illinois at UrbanaChampaign and Editor, American Journal of Evaluation

Mihnea C. Moldoveanu

This book explores the practice of modeling human ways of being in real time. It makes the process and the phenomenon of modeling transparent and explicit, and clarifies the reasons for which modeling human behavior has to be an interactive process between the modeler and the modeled. Creates a new framework that is exciting because it questions existing ideas, and provides advice as to how to overcome existing gaps and inconsistencies that are accessible to scholars and practitioners .
Chris Argyris, Harvard Business School, and author of Organizational Traps: Leadership, Culture, Organizational Design
