Vom zweckrationalen zum resilienten Risikomanagement

This article in the magazine ‘Gruppe. Interaction. Organisation. (GIO)’ describes the opportunities and challenges of traditional (risk-)management in the face of multiple crises for companies, as well as three associated paradoxes and paradox-appropriate forms of management. In the context of family businesses and the paradox of stability and change, there is a combination of change- and risk-related paradoxes that is both challenging and rich in opportunities for supervisory bodies. With reference to the literature on HROs, possibilities are shown for developing risk management more strongly in the direction of anticipation and resilience. Finally, a case study of a multi-generational company illustrates both purposeful and paradox-appropriate forms of management.
