Lektioner Joe. Flashcards
Complexity?
Leads to increasing uncertinty?? -> climate models are unsure. Needs longer term dev in society.
Gaps in knowledge?
Scientific Env. knowledge is uneven around the world, indigenius people are ignored.
Globalization?
not good or bad, but disruptive and unpredictible. The consequenses are unequally distributed.
Organisations & Management ?
Org have employeed managers and managment to ensure that Org work in a particular way -> to ensure that goals are archived.
Governance + EM?
A result of “Hollowing out of the state”, can be a symtom of bad development.
Can be god or bad -> retursystem för pantflaskor, Pantamera mm.
Kan ske genom Lagar eller Frivilliga förändringar.
The diffrence between EM & EMS?
Not the same thing!
EM= the leadership actions. What Env. problems we contribute to & Env impact can form strategic goals.
EMS= tools to achive Em.
Company narratives & Env problems?
-Villians
-Victims of activists /terroirist
- Hero = Opportunities & problem solving, new niches for customers.
Business are?
A major part of economic system. Buy resurses, transform them, sell goods, get profit. We have adopted our way of living to this.
Government & real practices of Env sustanability?
Env Ministersare often “junior” departments, at the best the Minister is able to achive a compromise.
- Gov will only persu sustanability to a limited point. Ex: phase out substances vs continuing fosil fuel subsidies.
Panarchy Theory?
A model dev. from Ecological perspective. Ecosystem functions & nature need to be better undertod by humans, before making decisions.
DM - Disaster Management?
Police, firemen.. Are moving from a specifiv event, to se all (?) disasters as symptoms of a long-term process -> risk society.
The 3 R in DM?
Respond
Recovery
Rebulding
= return to normal
DM & Natural disasters?
-Cant controll it
-often spontanius cooperation & cordination
- solve crisis & rebild community togehther
- short-term damage
DM & Technical disasters?
-loss of control over systems
-afterwards: arguing/pont finger at each other
-profit over people
- damage in long or short term
DM & Hybrid disasters?
-combination of natural/tech failures & unusual natural events. (snö + E22)
- Pandemic = global logistics & just in time deleveries = weakneses.
Anticipatory Suprise Management?
To avoid being suprised by: Unthinkable circumstances, unexpected events, unknowable impacts.
Solution =
1. Reject rutines
2. Less rigidity in EM
3. Go outside the box etc.
The Black Swan?
A methaphor for a rare event, beyond normal expectations.
HOW Firms/networks are organized can diminish the effects of a black swan event.
Confirmation bias:
- Psychological Bias?
Interpretation of evidence in only 1 way, tends for following a pre-concidered idea.
Increases tendency for a further narrow interpretation/tolkning.
Confirmation bias:
- Anomalies?
We tend not to look for anomalies, but should look fornegative instances more, instead of ignoring them.
Confirmation bias:
- Order?
we ipose a order on a series of observations/facts/experiences.
Our ability to do this confirms our belif that we understand. Also, our order maybe not the only explenation.
Confirmation bias:
- Simple explenations?
Looking for simple explenations of “Complexity”, may not be the best explenation.
Confirmation bias:
- Unusual events & Pre-concived ideas?
Anomalies get suboriented, instead of beeinga possibility to reflect/create new understanding on things.
Confirmation bias:
- Black swans?
Individuals & society tends to belive/behave as black Swans dont exists, but we know they do.
Making Black Swans “grey”?
Vs not just plan for the expected.
What you dont know, is at least as relevant to decisions, than what you allredy know.
