Angesichts der in Deutschland recht emotionalisiert geführten Debatten soll zu einem umfassenderen Verständnis von Diversity Management (DiM) und zur Versachlichung der Diskussion beigetragen werden. Dazu wird zunächst DiM als Konzept vorgestellt und vertiefend auf das - weichenstellende - Verständnis von Vielfalt eingegangen. Es folgt ein Überblick über die Situation und Entwicklung in Deutschland mit drei weiteren Vertiefungen: zur Frage, ob es sich bei DiM nur um eine Legitimationsfassade handelt, zur Beschäftigung von Personen mit Migrationshintergrund und zum Verhältnis von Diversity und Gender (Original übernommen).

Addresses how organizations are approaching Business process management. Following interviews in "leading edge" organizations, qualitative analysis has revealed key themes which may help inform others at an earlier stage in developing their approach to business process management. Presents research propositions, based on these themes, and on a categorization of business processes into operational, support, direction setting and managerial processes. There are implications for operations management in both the probable order of addressing these process categories and in the applicability of techniques and concepts from operations management.

This paper questions the present allocation of research effort in management science: the extensive concern with "technical" and computational intricacies and the relative neglect of the subject's overall intellectual structure. We argue that management science is in danger of stagnating in a technical morass and we illustrate this point by using the current editorial practices of the journal Management Science and the college structure of The Institute of Management Science (TIMS). The reluctance to challenge and question the "departments" of knowledge underlying management science ensures that certain issues are precluded from academic discussion. These include the nature of the subject's social role; the kinds of social conflicts in which the management scientist participates; the identity of the subject's patrons and their impact on the subject's direction and contents; the interest groups who are best served by the way the subject is currently conceived, and the (inevitably) partisan role played by theories, theoreticians, and practitioners. The paper illustrates how these issues might be investigated using an approach to general systems theory. This analysis results in a reclassification of Management Science departments and TIMS colleges: one that highlights those areas that are neglected by the current conceptualization of the subject.

This approach to management involves specific techniques for identifying goals and establishing a process for achieving them. The training of staff who are to work within a management by objectives scheme includes the development of a training manual and sessions to teach the necessary skills. Examples of a statement of objectives and of a support plan are included.

The objective of this communication is first to express rapid criticism of management tools by objective and by project. Such criticism, made by authors who made them the singers, does not relate to the methodologies which it took thirty years ago to develop, as they were, particularly in Quebec. More specifically, it relates to the stage preceding the definition of the project. It must be chosen from a portfolio of projects with, at least we imagine, an opportunity, interest, probable maturity and likelihood of success. How should the choice be made? What are the tools for thinking suited to its rationality? Is there an optimal method of choice? Any questions raised by the business owner faced with options that may prove to be strategic and vital to the company. More importantly, the purpose of this communication is to raise the problem of preparing for seizing opportunities, i.e. preparing the case where it is the circumstances that cause the project to emerge, the manager's responsibility being to seize the opportunity or let it go through. In the Kairos Management Face we are talking about this kind of questions that are often left to the "art" man, i.e. the artist who builds artefacts to give artifices to see, the second objective of the communication is to get to know and understand the construction of a new class of thought tools that are significantly different from the thinking tools usually given in the manager's "think box" (definition of objectives, methods of optimisation, statistical methods, planning by assessment tasks, etc.). Each economic officer knows at home that a perfect command of the tools, the availability of significant resources, etc. are not sufficient to guarantee the success of an action. For example, there are often remarkable brightsmen to fail where actors with more modest qualities and legitimacy turn out to be remarkable strata. What is the origin of this situation, which economic or artistic military exploits can illustrate? We will show that such successes are most often due ...
