Bibliography Index 330 $aWho decides to initiate change processes in organizations? Who sets the goals? What does it mean for employees to participate in change processes? The book examines organizational change processes based on collaboration between employers, employees and action researchers in Europe and the U.S. in the later part of the 20th century. The authors offer important insights into participation and change in organizations for researchers and practitioners by identifying dilemmas and paradoxes, conflicting interests and exercising of power. Wie vollzieht sich Wandel in Organisationen? Was bedeutet Zusammenarbeit in einem Unternehmen? Was ko?nnen wir aus Erfahrungen lernen? Das Buch untersucht organisationale Vera?nderungsprozesse auf Basis von Kooperationserfahrungen zwischen Arbeitgeber*innen, Arbeitnehmer*innen und Aktionsforscher*innen in Europa und den USA in der zweiten Ha?lfte des 20. Jahrhunderts. Die Autor*innen identifizieren zentrale Akteure und Impulsgeber von Vera?nderung, zeichnen Machtverha?ltnisse nach und weisen auf mo?gliche Dilemmata hin. Dabei entwickeln sie zentrale Erkenntnisse u?ber Prozesse der Partizipation und Vera?nderung in Organisationen, von denen Forschung und Praxis gleichermaßen profitieren ko?nnen. 606 $aAktionsforschung 606 $achange process 606 $ademocracy 606 $aDialog 606 $adialogue 606 $aemployees 606 $aGruppen 606 $aHandlungsforschung 606 $ainvolvement 606 $aMacht 606 $aMitarbeiter*innen 606 $aMitwirkung 606 $aOrganisationen 606 $aorganizational action research 606 $aparticipation 606 $apower 606 $aSelbstorganisation 606 $aself-managing groups 606 $aA?nderungsprozesse 610 00$aemployees 615 4$aAktionsforschung 615 4$achange process 615 4$ademocracy 615 4$aDialog 615 4$adialogue 615 4$aemployees 615 4$aGruppen 615 4$aHandlungsforschung 615 4$ainvolvement 615 4$aMacht 615 4$aMitarbeiter*innen 615 4$aMitwirkung 615 4$aOrganisationen 615 4$aorganizational action research 615 4$aparticipation 615 4$apower 615 4$aSelbstorganisation 615 4$aself-managing groups 615 4$aA?nderungsprozesse 676 $a658.406 700 $aKristiansen$b Marianne$f1946-,$4aut$01359779 702 $aBloch-Poulsen$b Jørgen$cProf. Dr.$4aut 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910669816303321 996 $aAction Research in Organizations$93374580 997 $aUNINA
