How would organizations keep up with the uncertainty? Are they going to use the normal way to keep up with the drastic change that fills with uncertainty, complexity and contradiction?

Suhaimi and Dolhadi offered scholarly post normal way of ta’awun (mutual collaboration) with high intensity in spirituality for social enterprises that are expected to provide spiritual driven solutions for challenges that created uncertainty, chaos and contradiction. Rohaziah postulated ulū al-albāb approach of managing strategies and organisational learning in post normal times.
