May 5, 2023: Management in times of "polycrisis": How can organizations deal with the contradictory challenges of multiple crisis situations?
The collective experience of living in times of multiple, overlapping, and in some cases mutually reinforcing crisis situations is increasingly being described in public with the term "polycrisis."
What management challenges arise from the polycrisis in the private and public sector? How can and how should political and corporate decision-makers deal with these challenges? To what extent can academic concepts such as polycrisis help managers to deal more effectively with the world's multiple crisis situations? These were questions explored in the online discussion on May 9, 2023. Daniel Geiger, Professor of Organization Studies at the University of Hamburg, Juliane Reinecke, Professor of Management Studies at Oxford University and Elke Schüssler, Professor of Business Administration with a focus on organization at the JKU Linz discussed these questions. The moderator was Prof. Dr. Blagoy Blagoev.

In the federal government's coalition agreement, it was agreed to tackle urgently needed reforms in the hospital sector. To this end, the "Government Commission for Modern and Demand-Oriented Hospital Care" was set up in May 2022 to answer the pressing questions with broad professional expertise.
How can patients be better cared for in medical emergencies at hospitals in the future? How can better medical care be reconciled with accessibility and demographic development? How can hospitals be relieved of unnecessary tasks and services? According to which criteria should hospitals be remunerated in the future?
These and other questions were discussed by two prominent members of the government commission in the June 13, 2023 edition of "60 Minutes." Boris Augurzky, Head of the "Health" competence area at RWI Essen and Adjunct Professor at the University of Duisburg-Essen, and Jochen Schmitt, Head of the Center for Evidence-Based Health Care and Professor of social medicine and health services research at the Carl Gustav Carus University Hospital, TU Dresden. The discussion was moderated by Prof. Dr. Marcel Thum. The event was held in cooperation with the ifo Institute.
