larly, the MCP can be used in a strategic manner. The altitude indicator is often used as a limit on the aircraft’s altitude rather than a control. For example: The aircraft can be planned to eventually ascend to 30,000 feet based on commands from the FMS. The pilot can dial in 25,000 feet while the aircraft is at 10,0...

00 feet, this action would never have any effect. It will only come into play later in the flight when the FMS drives the aircraft to ascend to 30,000. Rather than ascending to 30,000 feet, it would level off at 25,000 feet. It is often the case that situations like these cause the pilot to wonder what the aircraft is ...

tition usually means “creative destruction” [ 14 ]. One enterprise solves its challenges by an innovation, and others are driven in a crisis by exactly this innovation. They require further creativity and innovation to respond to this crisis and develop another innovation, which will then become the new standards again...

companied by an increase in energy but also an increase in complexity and dynamics. Depending on the degree of complexity and dynamics, different zones of Dynaxity (I-IV) can be derived [ 15 ]. In zone I, the system consists only of a few elements and the number of interdependencies and relations between these elements...

d at well; i.e., the system can be called static. Consequently, almost all elements, their behaviour and the interdependencies are well-known; there is little uncertainty within the system. Zone I is typical for pre-industrial organisations, but even today, some private practitioners work in zone I with a small number ...

to Mintzberg, this is a simple structure [ 16 ]. If complexity and/or dynamics increase, simple structures will be insufficient for survival in an altered environment. Consequently, zone II is an industrial era with big organisations comprising many hierarchical levels. These organisations follow strict rules of the di...

h the different layers of hierarchy takes some time. Thus, these technocracies and bureaucracies [ 16 ] are inadequate if the dynamics or complexity grow even stronger. The post-industrial era is characterised by very high complexity and dynamics leading to high uncertainty. The “dinosaur” organisations with long infor...
