ABSTRACT
Systemic constellations can be used by people, organisations, science and other areas to focus on diverse issues highlighting solutions, reflexions or options, like communication, team motivation, restructuring, decision making, strategic issues, ethical questions, and sustainability conflicts or dilemmas. Representations can be used for revealing new perspectives on all the issues addressed, like business, politics, religion, cultures, war and crimes, philosophy and the like. Systemic constellations are an effective way to teach complex relationships and multilevel challenges and to learn how unconscious or tacit knowledge can be made tangible and visible. There are several advantages to their use in teaching, research and institutions. The method appears to be a very powerful tool in explaining and transferring multicausalities in systems and can be complemented by offering itself to traditional methods. Findings, implementation options, conclusions and other results from work with systemic constellations are often not attainable by a pure study of documents, interviews or an empirical survey, at least not at a comparable speed. Today’s topics and studies have to be taught and educated more and more in multicausal and inter-and transdisciplinary contexts that require new and innovative methods. The integration of systemic structural constellations in research and teaching allows the teaching and learning of complex relationships, multilevel challenges and sustainability transdisciplinarily and makes the importance of sustainability for businesses tangible and visible. Thus, it provides essential knowledge for social contexts. Table 7.1 highlights several advantages in the main academic areas.
