English summary: In economics, as in all scientific disciplines, complexity refers to a situation in which the multitude and variety of interdependent factors create a burden of complexity, on the one hand, and also a potential for complexity on the other. In such poorly structured, high-risk, nontransparent and volatile situations, the task of management is to establish equilibrium between burden and potential. This is achieved by simplifying the complexity burden in a coordinated manner and by enhancing the human and ...

English summary: In economics, as in all scientific disciplines, complexity refers to a situation in which the multitude and variety of interdependent factors create a burden of complexity, on the one hand, and also a potential for complexity on the other. In such poorly structured, high-risk, nontransparent and volatile situations, the task of management is to establish equilibrium between burden and potential. This is achieved by simplifying the complexity burden in a coordinated manner and by enhancing the human and technological potential for managing it. On a sound theoretical basis, this textbook illustrates the practical significance of balanced complexity management, with conceptual foundations and with applications in several areas of management. German description: In der Okonomie wie in allen wissenschaftlichen Disziplinen beschreibt Komplexitat eine Situation, in der eine Vielzahl und Vielfalt von interdependenten Faktoren einerseits fur eine Komplexitatslast, andererseits aber auch fur ein Komplexitatspotenzial sorgen. In derart schlecht strukturierten, risikobehafteten, intransparenten und volatilen Situationen ist es Aufgabe des Managements, eine Kongruenz von Last und Potenzial herzustellen. Dies gelingt durch eine aufeinander abgestimmte Vereinfachung der Komplexitatslast und eine Anreicherung der menschlichen und technischen Potenziale zu deren Handhabung. Dieses Fachbuch verdeutlicht theoretisch fundiert die praktische Bedeutung eines ausgewogenen Komplexitatsmanagements anhand von konzeptionellen Grundlagen sowie von Anwendungen in mehreren Managementsparten.
