0Complexity can be handled only by complexity. Even if most scientists and consultants try to analyse management with cause-and-effect chains we need a different model in an age of uncertainity. If you have to solve complex problems as a manager, the operating system has to be as complex and has to have as much variety as the operated system. The paper uses Luhmann’s theory of social systems and Peter Druckers management approach that was based on balancing experiences with expectations and adjusting his expectations. Management is seen as a social function thas has to deal with paradoxes. Managers have to deal with complexity and reduce it. The paper points out that managers who are dealing with complexity can not spend much time on long-term planning. They have to act in in a non-strategic manner and have to widen their view and to trust themselves.
