Download or read book HOW TO BE A SUCCESSFUL ORGANIZATION THE CHALLENGES OF CONTEMPORARY NGO written by Agnieszka Ziomek , Paweł Mikołajczak and published by Academic Publisher FNCE. This book was released on 2020-07-23 with total page 157 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The growing importance of the third sector is connected, among others, with a change in the scope of its operation, including the performance of public tasks or the increase of its market activity. Becoming part of the civic administration and social service providers, non-governmental organisations are facing the challenges of professionalisation and quality management. Many of them are at the crossroads between traditional thinking derived from the principles of social ethics and alternative thinking focused on modern market processes. The authors of the reviewed publication understand this type of dilemma perfectly. On the one hand, they present the state of modern NGOs on the basis of quantitative and qualitative research, while on the other, by referring to the theoretical foundations and development tools, they indicate directions of organisational changes. The publication covers a wide spectrum of issues related to quality management in a non-governmental organisation, from the issues of professionalisation and development of the organisation, revenue management, motivation conditions, to relationships between organisations within the third sector, and relationships between NGOs and business. The reviewed publication is an excellent guide for both NGOs and their activists as well as for social science students and anyone interested in dynamic changes taking place in the third sector.

Download or read book Organization and Management Problem Solving written by James T. Ziegenfuss and published by SAGE. This book was released on 2002 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Based on a broad range of case studies, Organization and Management Problem Solving is an insightful text designed to improve the application of organization theory and systems thinking in teaching and practice. This book illustrates the five key themes in the nature of organization and managementa'technical, structural, psychosocial, managerial, and culturala'through the analysis of measured incidents tested by students. A clear theoretical framework supports the case studies, allowing the text to have practical relevance to contemporary settings and to be recognized as a model for describing, analyzing, and responding to organization and management problems. The model integrates the thinking of many writers on organization and problem solving including Ackoff, Blake, and Mouton; Schein, Kast, and Rosenweign; and Mitroff and Lippitt. The approach eliminates causal conditions and emphasizes responsive problem solving. Theory is applied and expanded as needed to a broader social context, engaging the reader in a thorough understanding of the nature and development of organization theory and problem solving. This book is relevant to consultants, academics, and professional managers in a number of settings (academic, military, business organizations, and research institutes) and disciplines (including development and change, management, human resources, social psychology, communication, sociology, and psychology).

Download or read book The Challenge of Scientometrics written by Loet Leydesdorff and published by Universal-Publishers. This book was released on 2001 with total page 360 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Scientometrics--the quantitative study of scientific communication--challenges science and technology studies by demonstrating that organized knowledge production and control is amenable to measurement. First, the various dimensions of the empirical study of the sciences are clarified in a methodological analysis of theoretical traditions, including the sociology of scientific knowledge and neo-conventionalism in the philosophy of science. Second, the author argues why the mathematical theory of communication enables us to address crucial problems in science and technology studies, both on the qualitative side (e.g., the significance of a reconstruction) and on the quantitative side (e.g., the prediction of indicators). A comprehensive set of probabilistic entropy measures for studying complex developments in networks is elaborated. In the third part of the study, applications to S&T policy questions (e.g., the emergence of a European R&D system), to problems of (Bayesian) knowledge representations, and to the study of the sciences in terms of 'self-organizing' paradigms of scientific communication are provided. A discussion of directions for further research concludes the study.

Download or read book The Dance of Change written by Peter M. Senge and published by Crown Currency. This book was released on 2014-05-14 with total page 610 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since Peter Senge published his groundbreaking book The Fifth Discipline, he and his associates have frequently been asked by the business community: "How do we go beyond the first steps of corporate change? How do we sustain momentum?" They know that companies and organizations cannot thrive today without learning to adapt their attitudes and practices. But companies that establish change initiatives discover, after initial success, that even the most promising efforts to transform or revitalize organizations—despite interest, resources, and compelling business results—can fail to sustain themselves over time. That's because organizations have complex, well-developed immune systems, aimed at preserving the status quo. Now, drawing upon new theories about leadership and the long-term success of change initiatives, and based upon twenty-five years of experience building learning organizations, the authors of The Fifth Discipline Fieldbook show how to accelerate success and avoid the obstacles that can stall momentum. The Dance of Change, written for managers and executives at every level of an organization, reveals how business leaders can work together to anticipate the challenges that profound change will ultimately force the organization to face. Then, in a down-to-earth and compellingly clear format, readers will learn how to build the personal and organizational capabilities needed to meet those challenges. These challenges are not imposed from the outside; they are the product of assumptions and practices that people take for granted—an inherent, natural part of the processes of change. And they can stop innovation cold, unless managers at all levels learn to anticipate them and recognize the hidden rewards in each challenge, and the potential to spur further growth. Within the frequently encountered challenge of "Not Enough Time," for example—the lack of control over time available for innovation and learning initiatives—lies a valuable opportunity to reframe the way people organize their workplaces. This book identifies universal challenges that organizations ultimately find themselves confronting, including the challenge of "Fear and Anxiety"; the need to diffuse learning across organizational boundaries; the ways in which assumptions built in to corporate measurement systems can handcuff learning initiatives; and the almost unavoidable misunderstandings between "true believers" and nonbelievers in a company. Filled with individual and team exercises, in-depth accounts of sustaining learning initiatives by managers and leaders in the field, and well-tested practical advice, The Dance of Change provides an insider's perspective on implementing learning and change initiatives at such corporations as British Petroleum, Chrysler, Dupont, Ford, General Electric, Harley-Davidson, Hewlett-Packard, Mitsubishi Electric, Royal DutchShell, Shell Oil Company, Toyota, the United States Army, and Xerox. It offers crucial advice for line-level managers, executive leaders, internal networkers, educators, and others who are struggling to put change initiatives into practice.
