Topic: Ökonomische Schulentwicklung: Wissensbilanzierung zum angemessenen Umgang mit Komplexität

Information:

Model experiments and educational reforms in the German federal states (e.g. the model project "Selständige Schule" in NRW) show that schools are increasingly being made independent. This raises the question of their organizational development as well as their personnel development, ultimately their self-organization. How does my school function and why? Could it function even better? Will it still be able to survive five years from now under the ever-changing challenges? Can it respond quickly enough and correctly to change? These are some of the most important questions that leaders must ask themselves, even in schools.

To answer these questions, we must first succeed in making transparent the intellectual capital of a school, which exists in such a complex structure and in diverse relationships between, for example, teachers, learners, parents, regional business and the school board. In the sense of the theories of complex systems or synergetics, this means: This can best succeed if something like this is not ordered from above, but emerges in a self-organized way at the grassroots level. For this purpose, a special set of instruments is needed that offers the possibility of generating synergetic effects. An important contribution to this can be made by an intellectual capital statement, which systematizes the intellectual capital of a school, records it holistically and makes it measurable.

Topic: Die Komplexitätshypothese der Karriereforschung

Zugl.: Dortmund, Univ., Diss., 2008

Information:

One assertion runs like a thread through career research: careers are becoming increasingly complex. Some researchers are already mourning the death of the career. But the analyses presented in this book show that the number of job changes has not increased at all over the past 30 years. Does the much-vaunted complexity in new careers not exist at all? The fact that careers have actually become more complex over the past 30 years only becomes apparent when one takes a closer look. Only with the methods of chaos research can we show what was previously only assumed. Careers are becoming less and less predictable. Even if the number of job changes has not increased significantly, career interruptions are less predictable today than they used to be.

Topic: Verteilte Communities of Practice in der betriebswirtschaftlichen Aus- und Weiterbildung

Zugl.: Dortmund, Univ., Diss., 2006

Information:

Against the backdrop of an increasingly dynamic economic environment, both theory and practice repeatedly note the limited scope of traditional forms of business education and training for managers. The identification of inert knowledge and lack of transfer as a fundamental problem is rounded off by the diagnosis of insecurities in interpersonal interaction and weaknesses in work communication as central deficits of university graduates. The study develops a conceptual frame of reference for distributed communities of practice, which shows a theoretically sound and at the same time pragmatic way for the implementation of self-directed, cooperative and problem-oriented learning processes considering Internet-based knowledge exchange. The results of the empirical implementation show the innovative contribution of the concept with regard to the outlined problem areas and provide the reader with a detailed insight into the design of future-oriented learning processes in higher education and human resource development.
