Abstract (De)
This key note speech at the SemeAd Conference (Sao Paulo, Brazil) on November 9, 2017 addresses the topic of management innovation in healthcare organizations. The Need for management innovation - understood as a reflexive communicative practice to step back from the ongoing organizing flow - arises due to environmental pressures and internal organizational complexity. Illustrated with a current research project on lean management at an Emergency Care Unit, the talk argues that management innovation follows a self-referential process rather than a linear one often found in current literature. To handle the challenge of self-referentially innovating the unit's own management practice, reflexivity is a key component. This leads to the insight that establishing reflexivity in the organization is a core task of management to enable its own change. The presentation concludes with methodological implications for studying management innovation as reflexivity with reflexive means.
