Security of Organisations and Methodological Rationality of Their Members

Abstract

This paper specifies competences and skills of methodologically rational decision making and their impact on security of organisations. The study indicates some reasons for developing the competencies and skills in education, professional development and taking them into account in the recruitment. It is the practical aim of this paper. Its scientific aim is to formulate and to partly justify general hypotheses concerning the impact of methodologically rational and irrational attitudes of members of organisations on their security. We apply the method of ideal types of Max Weber and phenomenological analyses, which concern intentionality of methodologically rational and irrational mental attitudes.

Moral luck and responsible innovation management

“…If the problem is worth solving, one may investigate the chances and risks of its possible solutions, according to the principle of moral luck. When normative assumptions are arbitrary, they pose a threat to the organisation and society as a whole, because they may lead towards the arbitrary underestimation or overestimation of opportunities and risks (Jacko 2016;Mintzberg 1982). For instance, the 'innovation paradox' takes place when large organisations overestimate their status quo.…”
