Abstract

Sustainability of housekeeping-oriented thinking as an independent rationality raises the question of the relationship between this rationality and the traditional management rationalities. Exclusive profit-oriented thinking or efficient attainment of ends is not sufficient if a system wants to ensure its existence. This chapter explains in which way the existing management rationalities need to be enhanced (not replaced) in order that businesses are able to establish resource communities with their environments. A lot of explanation is required in order to make clear that the old and the new rationalities may not be reduced to each other, but that they have to stand next to each other on the same level. The essential insight is that efficiency and sustainability are as well independent rationalities which are, however, contradictory.
