Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Anyone in the cultural resource management world will tell you that much of the job is successfully negotiating consensus on a course of action between various stakeholders. In this volume, Nicholas Dorochoff offers the heritage management community the benefit of decades of thinking on negotiation where it is practiced daily—the business world. Brief, practical, and geared specifically for cultural resource managers, consultants, and other interested parties, the author slices the negotiation process into its various component parts and steps. In a workshop fashion, Dorochoff takes the reader through the negotiation process, showing where conflicts can arise, how they can be solved, and how a clear understanding of negotiation strategies can lead to successful resolutions. Real world examples, checklists, and resources are included. This handy guide can save cultural resource professionals from months of stalled negotiation on key projects.

Book Our Unprotected Heritage

Download or read book Our Unprotected Heritage written by Thomas F King and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-09-16 with total page 167 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most Americans agree that our heritage—both natural and cultural—should be protected. Then why does development run rampant, aided—rather than limited—by government inaction? Tom King has been a participant in and observer of this system for decades, as a government worker, heritage consultant, and advocate for local communities. In this hard-hitting critique of the heritage-industrial complex, King points the finger at watchdogs who instead serve as advocates, unintelligible (often contradictory) regulations, disinterested government employees and power-seeking agencies, all of whom conspire to keep our heritage unprotected. His solution to this crisis will be uncomfortable to many in power, but may help save more of our cultural and natural treasures.

Book Archaeological Investigation

Download or read book Archaeological Investigation written by Martin Carver and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-10-18 with total page 463 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drawing its numerous examples from Britain and beyond, Archaeological Investigation explores the procedures used in field archaeology travelling over the whole process from discovery to publication. Divided into four parts, it argues for a set of principles in part one, describes work in the field in part two and how to write up in part three. Part four describes the modern world in which all types of archaeologist operate, academic and professional. The central chapter ‘Projects Galore’ takes the reader on a whirlwind tour through different kinds of investigation including in caves, gravel quarries, towns, historic buildings and underwater. Archaeological Investigation intends to be a companion for a newcomer to professional archaeology – from a student introduction (part one), to first practical work (part two) to the first responsibilities for producing reports (part three) and, in part four, to the tasks of project design and heritage curation that provide the meat and drink of the fully fledged professional. The book also proposes new ways of doing things, tried out over the author’s thirty years in the field and brought together here for the first time. This is no plodding manual but an inspiring, provocative, informative and entertaining book, urging that archaeological investigation is one of the most important things society does.

Book Human Centered Built Environment Heritage Preservation

Download or read book Human Centered Built Environment Heritage Preservation written by Jeremy C. Wells and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-09-20 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Human-Centered Built Environment Heritage Preservation addresses the question of how a human-centred conservation approach can and should change practice. For the most part, there are few answers to this question because professionals in the heritage conservation field do not use social science research methodologies to manage cultural landscapes, assess historical significance and inform the treatment of building and landscape fabric. With few exceptions, only academic theorists have explored these topics while failing to offer specific, usable guidance on how the social sciences can actually be used by heritage professionals. In exploring the nature of a human-centred heritage conservation practice, we explicitly seek a middle ground between the academy and practice, theory and application, fabric and meanings, conventional and civil experts, and orthodox and heterodox ideas behind practice and research. We do this by positioning this book in a transdisciplinary space between these dichotomies as a way to give voice (and respect) to multiple perspectives without losing sight of our goal that heritage conservation practice should, fundamentally, benefit all people. We believe that this approach is essential for creating an emancipated built heritage conservation practice that must successfully engage very different ontological and epistemological perspectives.

Likewise, professionals need to have great management and negotiation skills while working toward the objectives of maximizing shareholder benefits in the organization.

Part I provides information on culture and management as well as ethical challenges that managers and expatriates face across the globe; Part II provides an overview of negotiation fundamentals, negotiation model, and negotiation steps which can be used by expatriates in international assignments; Part III discusses practical skills such as communication and conflict management along with expatriate, as well as repatriate, training and development strategies; and Part IV offers a variety of cases to emphasize specific concepts and reflect upon real world challenges that can be used to facilitate various topics and reflect upon their learning outcomes. Overall, this book attempts to shed some light, albeit briefly, on specific area by introducing the reader to the major topics and issues in cross-cultural management and negotiations. Understanding these subjects require examining one's own beliefs and values as well as learning the skills of dealingappropriately with those whose beliefs and values may be very different. The author and contributors have used the concepts discussed in this book both nationally and internationally with academic and practitioner audiences to help increase their awareness of management, international management, negotiations, communication, and different cultures. The concepts, cases and exercises have been gleaned from a variety of sources and professionals in the United States and others around the globe. As such, these are very relevant to today's work environment, and thus can easily fit most management, international management, or cultural competency courses, seminars, and employee development workshops.
