Chapter Chapter 7 in Sustainable Management, 2011, pp 131-161 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract The preceding chapter showed that modern management has to cope with different and even logically contradictory rationalities. This coping assumes that contradictions are identified and accepted and that the logical forms of coping with contradictions are being deployed. Coping entails trade-offs. These turn out to be a great challenge for conventional decision-making processes and require a high tolerance of ambiguity from the decision-maker.
