Henry Mintzberg

Når organisationer udfordres af foranderlighed, usikkerhed og kompleksitet, er der behov for nye forståelsesrammer at lede ud fra. NYE TENDENSER I ORGANISATION OG LEDELSE rummer 15 kapitler, der belyser og beskriver en række aktuelle tendenser og deres ledelsesmæssige og organisatoriske implikationer, herunder frisættelse, samskabelse, vilde problemer, bæredygtighed, globalt forvalterskab, resonansfællesskaber, regenerative organiseringer og meget mere. Hvilket nyt lederskab er nødvendigt, når man skal arbejde med frisættelse? Hvordan organiseres det nødvendige samarbejde på tværs af afdelinger og fagligheder, når komplekse problemer skal håndteres? Hvordan leder man i det hele taget en bæredygtig organisationsudvikling? Det er bare nogle af de perspektiver, du får relevante og inspirerende bud på i denne antologi, der er skrevet af forskere fra bl.a. universiteter og professionshøjskoler. NYE TENDENSER I ORGANISATION OG LEDELSE er målrettet ledelsesuddannelserne, især grundmodulet ’Organisation, udvikling og samskabelse’ på diplomuddannelsen i ledelse, men henvender sig til alle, der beskæftiger sig med ledelse både i praksis og i forsknings- og uddannelsesverdenen.

Whether you subscribe to the philosophy that management is an art and not a science or that it's a science composed of best practices and systemic steps, one thing is for sure: there is no one easy way to describe what managers do. In this inspiring book, Henry Mintzberg, one of today's most respected and controversial thinkers on management, joins forces with other leading business figures to provide a provocative mix of writing on management that inspires laughter as much as it brings forth tears (for poor old management itself ). Management? It's Not What You Think gets readers thinking as they never have before on topics including management terminology and buzzwords, myths and maxims, MBAs, management fads, leadership, strategy, and much more. With wit, intrigue, and plenty of food for thought, Mintzberg presents articles, book and journal excerpts, letters, web selections, and musings that will spark debate in managers of all types and experiences and renew their interest in doing what they do best--managing.

i lever i en verden af ??organisationer, fra vores fødsel på hospitaler til vores begravelse ved bedemandsfirmaer, kirker og kirkegårdskontorer. Derimellem bliver vi uddannet, ansat, underholdt og irriteret af organisationer. Så det er vigtigt at forstå, hvordan disse mærkelige væsener virkelig fungerer. Men hvor kan vi gå hen for at finde ud af det? Denne bog syntetiserer erfaringerne fra en af ??verdens mest fremtrædende ledelsestænkere og organisationsteoretikere. Henry Mintzberg kortlægger krystalklart de former og kræfter, der skaber alle menneskelige organisationer. Der er ikke én bedste måde at strukturere organisationer på. Men vi skal kunne genkende forskellige arter af organisationer. Mintzberg identificerer fire grundlæggende former for organisationer: det personlige foretagende, den programmerede maskine, den professionelle forsamling og projektpioneren. For hver form findes der en fremherskende drivkraft: konsolidering i den personlige organisation, samarbejde i projektorganisationen, effektivitet i maskinorganisationen og dygtighed i den professionelle organisation. Derudover er der yderligere tre drivkræfter, som går på tværs af de fire grundlæggende organisationsformer, og som kan spille en betragtelig rolle i alle fire former. Den ene, indgydelse af kultur, strammer strukturen op ved at opfordre folk til at løfte i flok; de to andre løsner den: overlejret adskillelse skubber enhederne væk fra hinanden, og forstyrrelse forårsaget af konflikt trækker folk og enheder fra hinanden. Hvis hver af de fire former har en tilsvarende kraft, kan hver af de tre yderligere kræfter have en tilsvarende form, hvor den pågældende dominerer. Når en medrivende kultur dominerer, finder vi fællesskabsskibet, når autonomi via adskillelse er dominerende, finder vi divisionsformen, og når det er konflikter, der dominerer, finder vi den politiske arena. Således går Henry Mintzberg fra at strukturere organisationer i fem til at strukturere dem i syv. Med talrige eksempler udforsker han disse former og kræfter, der driver organisationer mod hybrider og på tværs af deres livscyklusser.

The iconic Henry Mintzberg provides a crystal-clear map to the forms and forces that shape all human organizations, synthesizing his fifty years of research. We live in a world of organizations, from our birth in hospitals until our burial by funeral homes. In between, we are educated, employed, entertained, and exasperated by organizations. We had better understand how these strange beasts really work. But where can we go to find out? Welcome to Understanding Organizations . . . Finally For half a century, Mintzberg has been observing organizations, advising them, engaging them, and escaping them. Here he offers a masterful update and revision of his 1983 classic, Structure in Fives. Believing there is one best way to structure organizations is the worst way to do so. A better place to start is by recognizing different species of organizations. Mintzberg identifies seven--personal enterprises, programmed machines, professional assemblies, project pioneers, and others. He explores these forms and the seven forces that drive them toward hybrids and across their life cycles. You will find no better guide to the care and feeding of these extraordinarily varied and vital creatures than this book.

I denne bog tilbyder Henry Mintzberg en forståelse af roden til vores samfunds politiske og økonomiske krise. Han giver en strategi til at rebalancere samfundet og forny kapitalismen og demokratiet, der er så afgørende for vores børns og vores planets overlevelse. Han mener, det er nok med den globale og lokale ubalance, der forårsager nedbrydningen af vores miljø, vores demokratiers undergang og nedværdigelsen af os selv. Det er nok med pendulpolitikken fra venstre og højre og lammelse i det politiske centrum. Han mener, vi har brug for en radikal fornyelse, og at den skal begynde i civilsamfundet, som han kalder den pluralistiske sektor. Denne sektor har nemlig både tilbøjeligheden og uafhængigheden til at kunne udfordre uacceptable praksisser og udvikle bedre nye. Da Berlinmuren faldt i 1989, var det ifølge Henry Mintzberg balancen, der sejrede. De kommunistiske regimer var helt ude af balance og havde overvejende magten koncentreret i deres offentlige sektor, mens de velfungerende vestlige lande havde en passende balance mellem deres offentlige sektor, deres private sektor og den pluralistiske sektor. En manglende forståelse af denne pointe har lige siden bragt mange lande ud af balance på grund af en favorisering af deres private sektor, fordi vestlige eksperter erklærede, at det var kapitalismen, der havde sejret. Henry Mintzberg mener, de vestlige eksperter tog fejl, da et sundt samfund balancerer en offentlig sektor af respekterede myndigheder, en privat sektor af ansvarlige virksomheder og en pluralistisk sektor af robuste sammenslutninger og fællesskaber. Der er således tre vigtige sektorer i samfundet, ikke kun to. Men den, vi har sværest ved at kapere, giver vi en masse utilstrækkelige betegnelser, for eksempel ”nonprofit-sektoren”, den ”tredje sektor” og ”civilsamfundet”. Med benævnelsen ”den pluralistiske sektor” kan den få lov at indtage en plads ved siden af dem, vi kalder offentlig og privat, samtidig med at vi sender et signal om, at den består af en lang række menneskelige sammenslutninger. For “de andre” kan ikke ændre forholdene alene. Vi – du og jeg – bliver nødt til at gøre det, hver enkelt af os og os alle sammen – ikke som passive “menneskelige ressourcer”, men som ressourcestærke mennesker.

In forty-two succinct, surprising essays, legendary scholar Henry Mintzberg brings management down from the clouds and onto solid ground. If you're like most managers and things keep you up at night, now you can turn to a book that's designed especially for you But you won't find talking rabbits or princesses here. (There is a cow, but it doesn't jump.) Henry Mintzberg has culled forty-two of the best posts from his widely read blog and turned them into a deceptively light, sneakily serious compendium of sometimes heretical reflections on management. The moral here is this: managers need to leave their castles and find out what's actually going on in their kingdoms. And like real bedtime stories, these essays have metaphors galore. So prepare to grow strategies like weeds and organize like a cow. Discover the maestro myth of managing, find the soft underbelly of hard data, and learn why downsizing is bloodletting and your board should be a bee. Mintzberg writes, Just try not to be outraged by anything you read, because some of my most outrageous ideas turn out to be my best. They just take a while to become obvious.

Our world is out of balance, says Henry Mintzberg, and the consequences are proving fateful: the degradation of our environment, the demise of our democracies, and the denigration of ourselves, with greed having been raised to some sort of high calling. But we can set things right.Mintzberg argues that a healthy society is built on three balanced pillars: a public sector of respected governments, a private sector of responsible enterprises, and what he calls a plural sector of robust voluntary associations (nonprofits, NGOs, etc.). Communism collapsed because the public sector was overbearing - balance triumphed in 1989, not capitalism. But that misunderstanding has led to the private sector becoming overbearing in many countries, especially the United States, and this imbalance is wreaking havoc.Many governments are now so co-opted by their private sectors that they won't be able to lead the process of renewal. And corporate social responsibility, however laudable, cannot compensate for the corporate social irresponsibility we see all around us. So Mintzberg offers specific ideas for strengthening the plural sector, which has the inclination and the independence to lead radical renewal by challenging unacceptable practices and developing better ones. This means change must be led not by some "them" but by each of us and all of us - if we care about our planet and our progeny.

Breaking away from the traditional formulation, - implementation approach that dominates strategy textbooks, this text sees strategy analysis as taking place in a wider organizational and managerial context.

The Essence of Managing Henry Mintzberg appreciates that managers are busy people. So he has taken his classic book Managing, done some updating, and distilled its essence into a lean 176 pages of text. The essence of the book remains the same: what Mintzberg learned from observing twenty-nine managers in settings ranging from a refugee camp to a symphony orchestra. Simply Managing considers the intense dynamics of this job as well as its inescapable conundrums, for example: How is anyone supposed to think, let alone think ahead, in this frenetic job? Are leaders really more important than managers? Where has all the judgment gone? Is email destroying management practice? How can managers connect when their job disconnects them from what they are managing? If you read only one book about managing, this should be it!

In 2009, Henry Mintzberg s Managing was named one of the best books of the year by strategy+business and Library Journal magazines, the number two business book of the year by the Toronto Globe and Mail, one of the top ten academic titles by Choice magazine, and the management book of the year in a competition organized by the Chartered Management Institute in association with the British Library. So this is clearly a book every manager should read. But one of the issues Mintzberg addresses is the frenetic pace and relentless pressures of the job - most managers hardly have time to think. So Mintzberg has done some revising and some updating and has distilled the essence of his original 320 - page book into a lean, action - oriented 216 pages. The core of the book remains the same: Mintzberg s observations of twenty - nine different managers, from business, government, and nonprofits, working in diverse settings ranging from a refugee camp to a symphony orchestra. What he saw led him to develop a new model of management, one firmly grounded in his conclusion that it is not a profession or a science. It is a practice, he writes, learned primarily through experience and rooted in context. But context cannot be seen in the usual way. Factors such as national culture, level in a hierarchy, and even personal style turn out to have a far different influence - sometimes much less - than we have traditionally thought. Mintzberg also offers a compelling discussion of some of the inescapable conundrums of managing. How can you get in deep when there is so much pressure to get it done? How can you manage it when you can t reliably measure it? How do you balance the need for change with the need for continuity? He concludes with a provocative look at what being an effective manager really means, which he describes as engaging management. This is the most authoritative and revealing book yet written about what managers do, how they do it, and how they can have the greatest impact. Mintzberg does not accept conventional wisdom - he challenges it constantly...erudite as well as practical.

In this definitive and revealing history, Henry Mintzberg, the iconoclastic former president of the Strategic Management Society, unmasks the press that has mesmerized so many organizations since 1965: strategic planning. One of our most brilliant and original management thinkers, Mintzberg concludes that the term is an oxymoron -- that strategy cannot be planned because planning is about analysis and strategy is about synthesis. That is why, he asserts, the process has failed so often and so dramatically. Mintzberg traces the origins and history of strategic planning through its prominence and subsequent fall. He argues that we must reconceive the process by which strategies are created -- by emphasizing informal learning and personal vision -- and the roles that can be played by planners. Mintzberg proposes new and unusual definitions of planning and strategy, and examines in novel and insightful ways the various models of strategic planning and the evidence of why they failed. Reviewing the so-called "pitfalls" of planning, he shows how the process itself can destroy commitment, narrow a company's vision, discourage change, and breed an atmosphere of politics. In a harsh critique of many sacred cows, he describes three basic fallacies of the process -- that discontinuities can be predicted, that strategists can be detached from the operations of the organization, and that the process of strategy-making itself can be formalized. Mintzberg devotes a substantial section to the new role for planning, plans, and planners, not inside the strategy-making process, but in support of it, providing some of its inputs and sometimes programming its outputs as well as encouraging strategic thinking in general. This book is required reading for anyone in an organization who is influenced by the planning or the strategy-making processes.

Mintzberg calls attention to numerous popular but false views about the nature of managerial work, separates fact from folklore, and provides the best information yet published on what managers do and how they do it. He analyzes models, characteristics, and approaches to Managing . He examines commonalities and differences in Managing in various contexts, including business, government, health care, and social services. By shadowing 29 managers through a day in their lives, he reveals how Managing is affected by many factors -- including national and industry cultures, organizational differences, level of the manager in the organization, and personal styles -- and examines the various strategies that managers adopt to deal with these factors. Mintzberg then identifies the main conundrums or dilemmas that managers must wrestle with (such as delegating versus retaining control, balancing order and flexibility, and gathering more data versus needing to take action) and describes how managers deal with those conundrums. And he offers provocative and powerful new understandings of what makes managers effective and ineffective.
