Covid-19 -pandemia on järisyttänyt maailmaa. Tämän terveyskriisin ennakoinnista ja yllätyksellisyydestä on kuitenkin vielä verrattain vähän tutkittua tietoa. Tämän tietokirjan tarkoituksena on tarkastella koronakriisin puhkeamista ja etenemistä tulevaisuustyön, johtamisen ja päätöksenteon näkökulmista. Teoksessa pohditaan myös koronakriisin vaikutuksia tuleviin sukupolviin. Kirja perustuu laajaan tutkimukselliseen aineistoon.

This book contributes to the discussion on wisdom in management, leadership and strategy by developing a unique theoretical approach. Integrating rational-analytical, intuitive and philosophical dimensions of wise decision-making, it advocates a broadly Platonic-Socratic view on wisdom. Applying a developed framework of wisdom dynamics, it analyses a number of decision-making case studies in order to discuss the potential of and obstacles to the use of wisdom in broader organizational trends, from the Cuban Missile Crisis to the downfall of Nokia.

This book contributes to the discussions on the role of spirituality in organizing and leading, taking a philosophically and theologically rigorous perspective. Developing an approach to spirituality informed by Platonist philosophy and classical and mystical streams of Christian theology, the text re-assesses the role of religious insights and beliefs in contemporary theory and practice of management. It also engages critically with the more fundamental questions, such as the validity and limits of scientific method, the shaping of the cultural contexts of organizations, as well as the status of modern materialism. Spirituality and Religion in Organizing further discusses topics such as charismatic leadership, the ethics of martyrdom and the spiritual models of organizing from the perspective of the proposed metaphysical-theological stance.

Understanding of the history and development of organization theory has recently made new advances through new work emerging on the history of management thought as well as through the institutionalization of critical approaches to organizations and organizational knowledge. There is a need to revisit the historical schools and their meaning for the contemporary debates in organizational theorizing, as well as to take a critical approach to the succession of paradigms. In addition, there is a continuing need in organization theory to distinguish between different metatheoretical influences behind new theories. In sum, a new version of the total historical development of organization is needed. This book addresses that need by directly using the historical sources of organization, instead of offering a secondary reading of the classics. It also shows how turns in social and cultural history intertwine with the changes in philosophical assumptions and social theoretical paradigms, without resorting to a simplified linear narrative. The book critically engages with both continuity and discontinuity between the different theoretical perspectives.

Henkisyys on nouseva trendi johtamisessa. Siitä ei kuitenkaan ole ollut tarjolla kokonaisvaltaista ja kriittistä, kansainväliseen tutkimukseen perustuvaa esitystä. Tämä kirja tarkastelee monipuolisesti spirituaalisuuden ja uskonnon kasvavaa merkitystä organisaatioissa ja työelämässä. Kirja käy läpi hengellisyyden suhdetta johtamiseen, tieteeseen ja organisaatioiden kulttuuriin, ja pohtii henkistä johtajuutta muun muassa karismaattisuuden ja marttyyriyden näkökulmien kautta. Teos korostaa hengellisyyden näkemistä kokonaan uutena filosofisena lähestymistapana johtamisen ja organisoinnin maailmaan. Samalle se kutsuu lukijan mukaan omakohtaiselle henkistymisen polulle. KTT Tuomo Peltonen on kokenut johtamisen tutkija ja opettaja. Hän toimii Turun yliopiston kauppakorkeakoulun johtamisen ja organisoinnin professorina. Hän on julkaissut aiemmin muun muassa kirjat Johtaminen ja organisointi (KY-Palvelu, 2007) ja Organisaatioteoria (WSOYPro, 2010).
