Abstract

This paper focuses on the main trends and leading approaches in the modern development of society in a situation of dynamic changes and turbulent conditions. Particular attention is paid to identifying the differences between management and manageability. Management is a formalized side of collective activity that has a constructive and focused character. Manageability is a qualitative characteristic of managerial activity. Manageability opens possibilities for determining the degree of readiness of a management subject to achieve its goals and the level of interaction of management entities with each other. Manageability turns out to be an organic part of the creation process and an integral part of the mechanism that holds the dynamic control process within certain limits. This paper studies and reveals the features of social turbulence that affect the contour of the boundaries of controllability. We show that these include the butterfly effect, the strength of weak ties, the “black swan” effect, as well as the presence of a “ghostly” control subject. At a theoretical level, the heuristic potential of defining control boundaries allows us to identify the differences between uncertainty and stability, unpredictability and predictability. From a practical point of view, the definition of boundaries contributes to the development of measures of manageability at the level of personal competencies, as well as at the level of professional and social mobility.
