Abstract

Neue Erkenntnisse der Verhaltens- und Neurooekonomie stellen das Menschenbild des Homo oeconomicus zunehmend in Frage und ruecken einen kooperativen Akteur ins Zentrum der wirtschaftswissenschaftlichen Diskussion sowie der unternehmerischen Praxis. Auf Grundlage von Elinor Ostroms Forschung zu konditionaler Kooperationsbereitschaft und kollektiver Selbststeuerung in sozio-oekologischen Systemen zeigt der vorliegende Beitrag, wie Unternehmen einen Rahmen schaffen koennen, der zu einer entsprechenden Kooperationsbereitschaft beim Individuum fuehrt. Treiber der Kooperation sind dabei Reputation, Vertrauen, Solidaritaet und sich herauskristallisierende Kooperationsnormen. (New research in behavioral and neuro-economics has shattered the belief in the basic assumptions behind the homo oeconomicus and has shown the need for a more cooperation-oriented idea of man. Simultaneously, the issue of cooperation has become more and more important in organizational life. We thus show how organizations can establish conditions that encourage individuals to cooperate decentrally. Combining Elinor Ostrom’s elaborated research on collective self-governance in socio­ecological systems with organizational theory and transferring it to companies, we show how reputa­tion, trust, solidarity and norms can be built up as the main drivers for fostering cooperation.)
