Stefan Kühl ist Soziologe, Historiker und Professor für Organisationssoziologie an der Universität Bielefeld. Er betreibt Forschung, unter anderem zu dezentralisierten Organisationsformen, sowie Steuerung und Strategie und er ist Autor zahlreicher Bestseller wie ,,Sisyphus im Management" und wissenschaftlicher Papiere wie „Strategy is Structure“. Immer wieder tritt Stefan auch auch in den Medien auf, so wurde er zum Beispiel im Handelsblatt zitiert: „In ein, zwei Jahren wird kaum noch jemand über Purpose sprechen“. Neben alledem arbeitet Stefan Kühl aber auch aktiv als Berater mit Organisationen zusammen, wo er nach wie vor mehr als ein Drittel seiner Zeit investiert. Stefan steht für einen systemischen, wissenschaftlichen Blick auf Organisation und Management, setzt diese Perspektive und die damit verbundenen Werkzeuge aber eben auch intensiv in der Praxis ein. Im Outcome Economy Podcast sprachen Stefan und Johannes über: Was den systemischen Blick auf Organisation ausmacht (10:10) Führung vs. Management (24:45) Strategie und Ziele: Was ist eigentlich Strategie? Wie verteilen Ziele die Beweislast in Unternehmen? (28:30) Führung und Steuerung mit Zielen, sowie die damit einhergehenden Herausforderungen (34:38) Ziele vs. Hypothesen und warum OKRs vielleicht besser OHKRI genannt werden sollten (55:40) Weshalb die besten Führungskräfte auch „Instinkt-Soziologen“ sind (01:02:50) Erwähnte Personen und Quellen in der Folge Herbert A.

104: Social Structure & Organizations -- Arthur Stinchcombe (Part 1)

In a famous chapter in James G. March's 1965 book, Handbook of Organizations, Arthur L. Stinchcombe laid out a case for expanding the study of organizations outward to include social structure bringing attention to innovation as well as imprinting and inertia. He posited that societies had significant effects on how organizations emerge and operate and that organizations, in turn, impact relations among groups in society. He presented his arguments in three parts. First, that social structures had an imprinting effect on the formation of new organizations, such that these initial forms often persisted despite efforts to change them. Thus, to the second point, each type of organization reflected the history of its creation both in terms of the organization and social structures that dominated at the time. Finally, organizations also reflect the social divisions in society, such as between higher and lower classes.

Organizations move slowly, until they don't. They resist change, until they can't. Why? On this episode of Management Musewe discuss an unusual—and unusually powerful—way of thinking about organizations…like they are trash cans! Hosts Cindi Baldi and Geoffrey Tumlin talk about one of the greatest management papers you've never read: "A Garbage Can Model of Organizational Choice," the classic article written by Michael D. Cohen, James G. March, and Johan P. Olsen. As crazy as it sounds, the trashcan model of organizations makes a lot of sense: Organizations are messy and chaotic. There's a lot of different issues inside them, and occasionally the contents spill out and come into full visibility. Grab your flashlight; it's time to climb into the trashcan. Episode Highlights: ● Organizations aren't efficient like computers, they are messy and somewhat unpredictable like trashcans. ● Do you feel unheard? Like your ideas are neglected? Don't take it personally. It's a garbage can out there, and you have to reach in, grab the item you care about, and champion it. ● Organizational change often happens on its own timeline, but smart managers can often spot moments to push, and times to back off. Timestamps: [0:00] Cindi and Geoff talk about key managerial lessons from the garbage can model. [4:00] The hosts discuss championing your ideas in a garbage can environment. [6:00] Cindi and Geoff talk about floating ideas up and outside of the trashcan. [8:25] The hosts talk about using your time and energy in the trashcan wisely. [9:20] Geoff and Cindi cover the ways that Covid knocked over many trashcans, and created numerous opportunities for change. [14:00] The hosts explore how external shocks often lead to big changes. [17:12] Geoff and Cindi talk about using the garbage can model to help people improve their organizations. [25:10] Cindi and Geoff talk about making change happen with limited time and other resources. [28:00] The hosts cover two scenarios that prompt change in a garbage can world: (1) Something internal or external knocks over the trashcan, revealing messes that require attention. (2) Someone external takes the lid off, raises a flag, and forces action. [37:00] Why it's so humbling to try changing an organization. No matter what you think you know or which methodology you deploy, it's a trashcan out there. The process is messy, so when an opening emerges, don't hesitate to seize what might be a sacred opportunity. [38:32] Geoff and Cindi talk about what's in the trashcan and what can be done to evolve the organization. Episode Quotes: “It's humbling to try to change an organization because no matter what you think you know or what methodology you're following that seems to have all the answers, it's a trashcan out there. It's just not going to be clean.” –Geoffrey Tumlin “At the lower end, you really have to be able to build a coalition, go up the chain. There's still a lot of work that you have to do if you decide that it's really important and it's a much longer, harder process because you're that much further away from the actual decision-makers.” –Cindi Baldi Episode Resources: Would you like to read the original article?

There is plenty of stuff that should be common sense but it isn't. In this episode, Gus Power rants about many of such things: from abusing agile principles, through pretending to be aligned, to the misjudgments that stem from the ladder of inference. We tap into the topics of employee motivation, the innovation trap and also the phenomenon of weak consensus every organization on this planet should be aware of.

Please join us for the fifth episode in our Carnegie-Mellon School series as we discuss Barbara Levitt and James G. March’s brilliant literature review of “Organizational Learning,” published in the Annual Review of Sociology in 1988. This work surveyed the literature across various streams in organizational learning up through the 1980s. Topics include learning from experience, organizational memory, ecologies of learning, and organizational intelligence. Of particular interest is how organizational learning was defined as not an outcome but a process of translating the cumulative experiences of individuals and codifying them as routines within the organization. But an important question remains three decades later – do organizations really learn? Tune in as we wrestle with this question, and with many others!
