Download or read book Career Success of Disabled High flyers written by Sonali Shah and published by Jessica Kingsley Publishers. This book was released on 2005-04-15 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'Disabled people can be seen pejoratively as a homogenous group that are typically "weak" and "needy" and thus unable to undertake the rigours of professional care work. Shah also notes that disabled people are often wrongly assumed to have a high level of absences from work and to be thought generally less capable. Such discriminatory attitudes must be set aside. Disabled people are first and foremost people and will have a contribution to make to the professions, not least because of the invaluable problem solving skills they acquire in having to overcome everyday problems that many of us take for granted. Shah's book will hopefully provide inspiration for disabled professional staff, students and service users and show that equality and success are achievable for disabled people.' - Journal of Interprofessional Care 'Practitioners working in many settings with people with dementia are likely to find this book presents new ideas but it would also be relevant to those working in rehabilitation services who do not, as yet, see people with dementia as key "clients".' - Journal of Interprofessional Care 'They are actors, clerics, managers, journalists, financial advisors, instructors, athletes and developers of athletes, and educators. One is a member of parliament. Another is a dancer. Shah (sociology and social policy, Nottingham U.) interviewed 31 successful people with disabilities and found their influences, motivations, goals, and perceptions varied from individual to individual, and depended on family expectations, education, individual personalities, and career choices. She also found they differed in what they perceived to be success, how well their employers treated them, and how they handled failure. Shah's conclusions include the ideas that career development is important, that those who seek suitable role models and coping strategies, and that integration of schools should include everyone.' - Book News 'By examining subjective factors like ambition (determination, response to disability and personal definitions of success) alongside objective measures (educational achievement, social status and financial success), Shah provides a useful framework for us to look at how all disabled people can be integrated into mainstream society... Instructive for anyone who works with disabled people in education, employment and society in general, this book is a through piece of social research.' - Community Care 'This is a detailed and thought-provoking book that looks at the influences on, and the experiences of 31 successful disabled adults. It is the product of a PhD research project and the author herself is a disabled person... Career Success of Disabled High-Flyers should be used to inform educational and employment policy and practice. It provides role models for aspiring young people and other disabled adults and I recommend this book to teachers, guidance providers, employers and in fact anyone who is looking for an intelligent and well researched account of the experience of disabled people and factors relating to their success.' - Newscheck Career Success of Disabled High-Flyers challenges the assumption that disabled employees are a homogenous group and discusses important questions such as: What is disability? How do people with physical impairments define success? Does gender impact in the same way on disabled and non-disabled people's careers? Drawing on in-depth case studies of thirty-one disabled adults who have been successful in their careers, this book suggests that individual traits and patterns of behaviour are key factors in career success, and shows that it is often society rather than impairment that hinders professional progression. Providing role models and valuable insights for young career-minded disabled people, it will also help inform policy and practice in education and training about disability and equality in schools, employment, and society in general. This book is a must-read, not only for people with disabilities, but for teachers, policy-makers, employers and anyone with an interest in disabled people and career development.

Download or read book Strategic Human Resource Management and Development written by Richard Regis and published by Excel Books India. This book was released on 2008 with total page 448 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Strategic Human Resource Management has been a topic familiar to many. But this book approaches the same topic in a current global economy with so many Indian business houses venturing into acquiring global giants and establishing themselves atop of the world of business in our growing economy. This means that with electronic communication making the world into a global village and virtual organizations and learning having made the distinction between 'place' and 'space' not a matter of importance, strategies to be adapted by the HR professionals should be totally new. That is where this book is having a new approach to SHRM. It is interspersed with contemporary Indian cases and experience to fall back on to illustrate the different strategies HR has to play as a business partner. Issues in employee privacy in case of virtual organizations have been vividly dealt with. Gone are the days of the fire-fighting role of HR professionals. They are required to play a vital role being part of the business strategy not only at the domestic arena but also in the global business. Challenges involved in building multicultural organizations, cross border merger and acquisition and repatriation and outsourcing are topics that are significant in the local as well as the global human resource management which are discussed extensively. The book explains career planning and development and compensation packages in the context of competencies and balanced scorecard. When speed and alacrity are demanded of all the employees to stay ahead of competition, the employees are required to put in extended hours and work in a stressful environment. Hence, the new-era HR professional has to resort to developmental activities through mentoring, coaching, counseling, stress management and emotional balance. The book is divided into five parts. Apart from the stories narrated within the text of the book, and some exercises, there is a separate section of cases at the end of the book to augment the concepts narrated in each part. It would not only fully meet the requirements of MBA students but would also give new direction to the practicing HR professionals.

Download or read book Management of International Institutions and NGOs written by Eduardo Missoni and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-08-31 with total page 676 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This second edition of Management of International Institutions and NGOs covers all key topics in global governance from a unique management perspective. It analyzes the management challenges associated with international cooperation rather than the more commonly explored political or economic lenses. This text is structured to enable students to connect theory with practice, beginning with the main management frameworks developed in the context of corporate and national public/nonprofit organizations and adapting them to the specificity of international institutions and international non-governmental organizations. This leads to the identification of a “tailored” approach to international organization management based on their institutional and operational settings, stakeholder groups, core business, staff profiles, and financial arrangements. The authors then connect this theory with practice by linking frameworks to several case studies and best practices of organizations currently experimenting with management systems and tools, with case studies including the World Bank and the Gates Foundation. This edition has been extensively revised and updated, with an expanded conceptual framework inclusive of systemic theories of organization, new cases throughout, and new chapters on leadership, supply chain and operations, and human-centered digitization. This comprehensive textbook is a must-own resource for students and academics involved with studying and working with international organizations.

Download or read book Ensuring Minority Success in Corporate Management written by Donna E. Thompson and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 390 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To be a corporate executive in America is to achieve a universally recognized measure of personal and professional success. The high income, privilege, prestige, and authority enjoyed by most corporate executives all attest to "making it." That is why the advancement of racial and ethnic minorities into the executive suite is one of the key barometers of the nation's progress toward full equality of opportunity. But the quest for equal opportunity in corporate management has been difficult and frustrating. Black, Hispanic, and Asian men and women are rarely found among those who run or significantly influence the direction of American corporations. The wide gap between the expectation and the reality is a continuing topic of interest to business leaders and racial and ethnic minorities, as well as to scholars of the business scene. This book edited by Thompson and DiTomaso contributes significantly to our understanding of this problem, and, most importantly, provides useful guidelines on what to do about it. Interest in the diversity of corporate management comes at a time of unprecendented challenge to United States success in the world economy. American business must now compete against aggressive producers and fi nanciers in Western Europe and Japan. More competition also has emerged from some of the rapidly developing countries in Latin America and the Pacific Rim. Our ability to design, manufacture, sell, and export goods and services in a global marketplace will increasingly determine our standard of living and prominence on the world stage.

Book excerpt: Not only are performance and human resources management (HRM) bound tightly together, but Sims even goes so far as to say that the way people are managed in coming decades will be the most important determinant of organizational success. He shows how success is determined by a firm's skill in attracting, developing, and retaining its human capital; how a firm's people are what give it a measurable advantage over the competition; and how an organization's commitment to developing its people's abilities and skills is an obligation at all levels. Sims focuses on practical, real-world human resources problems and activities emphasize the need for managers to prove themselves excellent people managers as well, and covers the traditional HRM tasks and responsibilities in ways that will give them new meaning and urgency.

He emphasizes repeatedly how important it is for organizations to understand that their success depends on their ability to attract and keep talented employees. With its persuasive discussion of the trends and emerging issues in the development of proactive human resources policies and practices, the book shows how to anticipate and work towards the development and retention of the right people. It emphasizes the importance of taking a strategic approach to all of the various human resources activities, and proves throughout that for an organization to prosper and earn a profit, goals must be set and initiatives taken in all areas of HRM and by all people, whatever their levels of responsibility may be.
