success

The idea of ​​purpose or inventory thinking, as v. a. from the sociological systems theory ( Niklas Luhmann ) was introduced into business administration (and here in particular with regard to the discussion of the concept of success ), the approach of the social-economic alliance is based, whereby it is assumed that the usual purposeful thinking about the perspective of system maintenance at least it should be added that the existence of many NPOs is threatened from an economic point of view, even if they achieve their social purposes. Similar to PMOs: Although they achieve their economic purposes, generate more and more income and create ever greater material prosperity, they sometimes get into public disputes, which can endanger their existence. The distinction in the third sector on the basis of purpose orientation is also taken up by Dariusz L. Aleksandrowicz .

Dilemma Management

In view of the growing complexity of the management situation , the relevance and the great potential of polar patterns of action are emphasized and at the same time the pursuit of mutually exclusive options is called for. PMOs and NPOs are stuck in numerous dilemmas , which are focused on the poles "social" and "economic" in the work. Reciprocal alliances offer a way out and thus a contribution to dilemma management. Access via stress management is not chosen. "Experience in everyday business and private life shows that avoiding the tensions of dilemmas and thus circumventing a constructive discussion of the contradicting requirements are very widespread. The forms of avoidance that lead to the negation of tension can be called negation, ignorance and Abstraction to be summarized "

Cooperation management

The approach of the Social-Economic Alliance in cooperation management goes beyond the pure cooperation process (from the cooperation decision, through the partner search to the contractual fixing and possible termination of the cooperation ) and provides starting points for the structural design of the management of interorganizational cooperation in general and socially - Economic alliances in particular. The focus is on the central starting points of any management: While the alliance's program drafts are outlined with the alliance goals (politics) and the alliance strategies (planning), the organizational structure and personnel management deal with its instrumental implementation.

Socio-Economic Alliance

Elmar Pankau developed the concept of the Social-Economic Alliance. This concept shows approaches for cooperation management for profit and nonprofit organizations from a system-oriented or a decision-oriented perspective and explains how cooperation between the two types of organization works. It is one of the first concepts to focus on cooperative exchange.

While profit organizations are determined by economic purposes and increasingly have to deal with environmental changes in the social area, the opposite is true for non-profit organizations; they are shaped by social purposes, but must increasingly take account of economic environmental changes. This becomes clear, for example, when profit organizations get involved in public disputes in which it is not at all about their economic potential but about the effects of their activities on socially sensitive areas; or when nonprofit organizations have to be measured not only by their social orientation but also by their economic performance.

By entering into a mutual cooperation in the form of a so-called social-economic alliance, profit and nonprofit organizations are offered a way out of the dilemma of having to meet both social and economic requirements. They open up new potential for solving problems by opening up new options for action where necessary changes cannot be brought to success on their own, but only with the help of complementary partners.

The approach also makes use of "market-deterministic argumentation models".
