Arbeit an der Organisationsidentität – Unterstützungsangebote der Systemtheorie
摘要
Luhmann’s autopoietic organisational theory has informed and inspired a number of management practices, including the approaches of systemic management and systemic organisational development. In these considerations pertaining to applications, the system-theoretical concept of organisational identity has thus far played a relatively subordinate role. This article demonstrates that the particular system-theoretical understanding of organisational identity can be employed effectively in management practice, specifically in the context of managerial identity work, that is, for the creation or alteration of stylised descriptions of the unity of the organisation (e.g. purpose, vision, mission, value lists or management guidelines).
