Abstract

Management rationalities focus on reasonable action for a company’s success. Based on the considerations of the theory of management ecology this chapter shows that the conventional management rationalities are no longer sufficient to guarantee a company’s survival in complex environments. The necessity of improving (not replacing) the management rationalities for the development of resource communities – consisting of firms and their environments – will systematically be explained. Some explanation is required to point out that the old and new rationalities may not be reduced to each other, but that they must coexist. The essential outcome is the realization that efficiency and sustainability are independent rationalities requiring different action-strategies.
