A chapter in Strategies in Failure Management, 2018, pp 231-239 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract In this chapter forms of failure in the military are introduced and discussed. Failure in the military is intertwined with organizational culture and therefore with cultural standards of the specific society. Nonetheless the definition of failure and success follows the specific logic of the military and its different states of action: cold for training and hot for deployment. How do organizational culture and military success (or failure) work in these different states?
