Download or read book Managing Democracies in Turbulent Times written by Eran Vigoda-Gadot and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2014-03-12 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book discusses some of the main challenges that arise in the management of modern democracies, with a focus on the role of citizens and their perceptions of government. A theoretical and practical framework is suggested for dealing with some of the most urgent problems that governments face today: the balance between bureaucracy and democracy and between political and administrative concerns; the pressing economic concerns in a market-based, globalized knowledge society and the changes in the relationship of trust amongst the players. At the heart of the analysis is the idea that running governments effectively means settling the potential conflicts between all those who are involved in the governmental process and in the making of public policy and public actions. The authors suggest approaches for strengthening the trust in democratic institutions and cooperation between the main actors in the democratic sphere, without compromising on the need to ensure effective governance.

This book was released on 2018-07-27 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Political and financial upheaval is not a new phenomenon – from the tulip bulb bubble in the Netherlands in the seventeenth century to Black Monday in 1987, businesses throughout history have worked to adapt and cope. However, today’s climate is even more fraught with crises, raising the levels of concern for business, society, and governments. It especially poses a challenge for small businesses, who have to learn to cope with this increasingly turbulent environment, dealing with the difficulties and taking advantage of the new opportunities that turbulence can provide. Understanding how resilience capabilities can be developed to promote sustainable business is imperative. This book provides a new paradigm for conceptualizing resilience capabilities and advances current understanding both theoretically and practically in real-world business settings. Examining the processes of resilience during different phases of crisis reveals why businesses either fail, or outperform their counterparts during times of turbulence. Based on in-depth empirical research, researchers and advanced students in small business, strategic management and risk management will find this an invaluable guide to organizational resilience.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report provides a comprehensive review of quality principles in higher education and proposes that, when used holistically and systematically, the quality principles, also known as total quality management and continuous quality improvement, can create a culture for academic excellence. After an introduction, the first section explains the historical significance of the quality movement in relationship to business and industry. Next, the report defines quality as it relates to higher education institutions and then describes how the quality movement has evolved among postsecondary institutions. The components of an institutional culture are identified, ways to build a culture that supports the quality principles suggested, and each of the quality principles briefly explained. Stressed is the need for a change in thinking as a prerequisite to initiating the quality approach on a campus. The following eight sections present the eight principles or characteristics of effective organizations in detail. They are: (1) vision, mission, and outcomes driven; (2) systems dependent; (3) systematic individual development; (4) decisions based on fact; (5) delegation of decision making; (6) collaboration; (7) planning for change; and (8) creative and supportive leadership. The final section integrates lessons learned from practitioners committed to the quality principles.

Download or read book Mentor Guide written by Gareth Lewis and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2012-09-10 with total page 110 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The structure of the programme: There are two main guiding principles for the way in which the programme is organized: Firstly, the workbooks are grouped according to the Key Roles of Management. There are two core modules which focus on the personal skills required by all managers to help underwrite competence in all areas. Manage Activities describes the principles of managing the processes and activities of any organisation in its efforts to satisfy the needs of their customers. Manage Resources looks at the acquisition, control and monitoring of financial and other resources. Manage People looks at the principles of leadership, managing performance and developing people. Manage Information looks at the acquisition, storage and use of information for communication, problem solving and decision making. Together, these key roles provide a comprehensive description of the fundamental principles of management as it applies in all organisations. Secondly, the workbooks are grouped according to levels of management. The series is organised on two levels - representing different levels of management seniority and responsibility. Level 4 represents first line management. In accredited programmes this is equivalent to N/SVQ level 4, Certificate in Management or CMS. Level 5 is equivalent to middle/senior management and is accredited at N/SVQ level 5, Diploma in Management or DMS. Finally, the programme covers all of the knowledge and principles in respect of all units of competence in the MCI standards at levels 4 and level 5. These links are shown in the maps provided in the User Guide. The Programme is designed to satisfy the requirements of awarding bodies for qualifications in management at both levels.
