Wise Management in Organisational Complexity

---

The mission of the China Europe International Business School (CEIBS) is to educate responsible leaders versed in ‘China Depth, Global Breadth’. The CEIBS Euro-China Centre for Leadership and Responsibility (ECCLAR) supports that mission by creating and disseminating knowledge on the practice and development of wise and responsible leadership especially in the corporate context. This collection of essays furthers that mission in providing a resource of wise praxis and reflection in the context of organisational complexity for managers, researchers and teachers in management education.
Interest in wisdom as a topic for research has been growing across the disciplines of organisational studies, leadership studies, philosophy, psychology and ethics. Blanchard-Fields and Norris (1995, p. 105) note that ‘wisdom has been legitimatised in the science of psychology by operationalising it into a knowledge system framework, i.e., borrowing from an established scientific approach’. Psychological theorists have posited that wisdom is a multidimensional construct characterised by cognitive, affective and behavioural dimensions that develop increasing integration over time; included in this latter process is the often pains- taking effort at integrating opposing self-schemes and reflecting on the experiences of self and other (Kramer, 2000).
Scholarly attention to wisdom in management is, according to Mick, Bateman and Lutz (2009), either strictly conceptual, oriented solely toward the management field or focused on organisational level analysis (not individuals and their decision-making or behaviours). In the field of leadership studies, McKenna, Rooney and Kimberley (2009) have led the way in arguing for an augmentation of existing leadership models with the wisdom dimension
