Organisationsmanagement

Organisationsmanagement, or organization management, is the discipline of coordinating and overseeing the resources of an organization to achieve its objectives. It integrates strategic planning with day-to-day operations and links governance, structure, culture, and processes. The field covers both the design of organizations and the management of people, information, and financial resources.

Core functions include strategic planning, organizing resources, leading people, and controlling performance. It involves developing strategy, creating organizational structures and roles, aligning incentives, and implementing processes for decision‑making, coordination, and control. Human resource management, finance, information systems, and risk and compliance are integral parts.

The practice is informed by diverse theories, from classical approaches such as scientific management and administrative theory to contemporary views like contingency theory, systems theory, and organizational culture theory. Methods commonly used include project management, process improvement (Lean, Six Sigma), change management, performance measurement (KPIs, balanced scorecard), and knowledge management.

Organisationsmanagement operates across sectors and scales, from small teams to multinational corporations and public institutions. Challenges include digital transformation, globalization, talent management, governance, ethics, sustainability, and regulatory compliance. Organizational design decisions, such as centralized versus decentralized structures or matrix arrangements, influence communication, flexibility, and accountability.

The aim is to create value by aligning strategy with operations, enabling effective decision making, and sustaining performance over time while maintaining stakeholder trust.
