PublicationManaging the Catch-22 of Organizational Change Processes - A system theoretical perspective on communicative practices( 2008-06-05)The paper explores how complex organizational change processes can be succesfully handled. The fundamental challenge is to unfold the operative paradox which systematically emerges in the contradiction of current and future organizing. The paper is based on a longitudinal, single case study in a Swiss acute hospital over a period of eight years. Taking a system theoretical perspective, we identified six interrelated communicative practices to handle the paradox within the organization. These practices point to "structuring communication" as the relating principle to handle the two opposing poles involved in paradoxes of changing.Type: conference paper

PublicationMultirational Management in HospitalsI argue in this chapter that multirational management means handling paradoxes. The core paradox is that the multirational or pluralist practice within hospitals requires, but at the same time thwarts, the genuine task of management. This task involves ensuring decision-making in a way that contributes to the viability of the organisation. Hospitals have developed their own ways of handling this paradox of "multirational management". Two examples - one of bilateral-situative decision-making, the other of rule-based decision-making - will be elucidated in empirical detailType: book section
