"The handling of uncertainties stemming from internal processes and the environment
is a core issue in organizational and system design. Management of Uncertainty examines
the necessity of living with technical and organizational uncertainties, or even taking
advantage of them without losing the stability created by reducing uncertainty. With
overall uncertainty increasing as a result of faster innovation cycles, more dynamic
environments, and growing interconnections in organizational networks, socio-technical
systems have to continuously adjust the balance between stability and flexibility
in order to secure successful performance." "Building on concepts from organization
theory, control theory, decision theory, and work and organizational psychology, a
decision process is proposed that supports systematic evaluation of the costs and
benefits of reducing, maintaining, or increasing uncertainty in a particular context.
Also, the individual and collective belief systems that influence cost-benefit perceptions
are considered. Consequences for the design of automation, planning systems, organizational
rulebooks, safety management systems and also human resource management are drawn."
"Management of Uncertainty will be a useful tool for postgraduate researchers, as
well as for operational and strategic decision-makers in organizations. It offers
a number of concrete instruments for organizational and system design, which are further
illustrated by a range of case studies."--Jacket
