Leading the Evolving Enterprise: A Systemic Transdisciplinary Focus - Systemic Design of Actual Enterprise and Entrepreneurship

Abstract

India's economy is driven by excellent entrepreneurship and fast developing enterprises. After a successful start-up entrepreneurs need to transfer rapid initial growth into long term sustainable evolvement. Also concerning society the process of transition ought be characterised as steady evolution rather than short term success or abrupt revolutions. The necessary co-evolvement of enterprises, economy and society will confront entrepreneurs with complex, comprehensive tasks in leadership and management. They will cover technical, business, economic and cultural, even religion based domains. To meet them, particularly designed and effective modes of innovative management and leadership are required. They appropriate models for frame and reference can be found in the systems approach to entrepreneurship and in the transdisciplinary advance to innovative evolution and to complexity resolution in the evolving corporation. The tools of Entrepreneurial Systems Management, first, provide a comprehensive overview of factors influencing the enterprise's operations, investment and strategy. Major plans become part of an integrated policy to be systematically validated, implemented, controlled and evaluated. They act as a learning dialogue, opening anticipatory vistas into the probability fields of future option/ action space. Decision making remains transparent and retraceable to its reasoning. The outcome is evaluated for innovative requests/opportunities. 'Hard' Systems, as partly also systemic models implying additional 'soft' factors as the performance behaviour of the employees, can be computer assisted and simulated for variance. Second, the complexity of the enterprise's internal/external environments are transparently approached from a defined set of Transdisciplinary Concepts. They support integration of operation and investment into a long term strategy
