Navigating Organizational Complexity: Resilience and Adaptability from Black Swans to Green explores the challenges of contemporary management in an era defined by unpredictability, complexity, and environmental volatility. Drawing on Nassim Taleb's metaphor of the "e;black swan"e;, this book expands this concept to include a typology of transformative events: Black Swans (negative and unexpected), White Swans (positive and unexpected), Gray Swans (known but neglected threats), and Green Swans (long-term environmental megatrends). Through interdisciplinary analysis, it examines how organizations can build resilience, adapt to uncertainty, and thrive in the face of disruption. It offers practical tools and frameworks for strategic foresight, leadership, and risk management, making it an essential resource for navigating the complexities of the modern business environment. Key features include an innovative approach to the "e;black swan"e; metaphor, integrating concepts such as antifragility, organizational resilience, and sustainability. This book combines insights from management, sociology, psychology, and economics, with references to global crises, climate change, and digitization. Readers will benefit from practical strategies for fostering adaptability, learning cultures, and visionary leadership, supported by rich academic literature and real-world examples. It is ideal for academics, researchers, and advanced students in management, organizational studies, and sustainability, as well as business leaders seeking actionable insights to future-proof their organizations.
