Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Can public organization managers respond to rapidly changing environmental conditions given that stability is a primary societal function of bureaucracies? If so, how might they successfully bring about change? Bennis (1966) states that examinations of organizational change fall into two categories: 1) those attempting to explain why organizations change and 2) those attempting to explain how organizations change. Those exploring why organizations change question the degree to which managers can serve as successful stimuli for transformation. This is true across public and private realms, but is particularly germane to public organizations, where managerial agency is restricted by accountability, civil service employee protections, and democratic norms. A Rational Adaptive philosophy of change suggests that managers can and do change organizations; however, with the exception of transformation in the face of budgetary and managerial crises, little evidence exists for manager-initiated, public organization change. Furthermore, prescriptions for how to bring about change are largely anecdotal and private-sector oriented. While Contingency Theory posits that no one-size-fits-all formula will suffice across all organization types and contexts, public administration scholars have proposed testable propositions regarding drivers of bureaucratic transformation. Using descriptive statistics, qualitative analysis, and logistic regression, this study examined one U.S. national agency’s attempt at transformational change to determine 1) the degree to which managers achieved success and 2) under what circumstances success was achieved. A theoretical typology for U.S. hierarchical, national agencies attempting internal policy change was proposed using the testable propositions, and a derivative model of change was tested to determine the types of manager-initiated efforts that yielded organizational change versus those that did not. Results suggest that, while transformational organizational change is challenging, managers of public organizations can create changes in employee attitudes and behavior in the absence of immediate crisis by communicating the vision for the change effectively and incorporating change-related routines in employees’ workplaces. Managerial support for the change may influence employee attitudes regarding the change and encourage support, while change-related incentives may promote behavior changes and adoption. Furthermore, adequate provision of change-related resources may be an important component in ensuring employees who desire to change can do so.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Industries that drive economic growth and support our comfortable modern lifestyles have exploited natural resources to do so. But now there's growing understanding that business can benefit from a better relationship with the environment. Leading corporations have begun to leverage nature-based remediation, restoration, and enhanced lands management to meet a variety of business needs, such as increasing employee engagement and establishing key performance indicators for reporting and disclosures. Strategic Corporate Conservation Planning offers fresh insights for corporations and environmental groups looking to create mutually beneficial partnerships that use conservation action to address business challenges and realize meaningful environmental outcomes. Recognizing the long history of mistrust between corporate action and environmental effort, Strategic Corporate Conservation Planning begins by explaining how to identify priorities that will yield a beneficial relationship between a company and nonprofit. Next, O'Gorman offers steps for creating ecologically-focused projects that address key business needs. Chapters highlight existing projects with different scales of engagement, emphasizing that headline-generating, multimillion dollar commitments are not necessarily the most effective approach. Myriad case studies featuring programs from habitat restoration to environmental educational initiatives at companies like Bridgestone USA, General Motors, and CRH Americas are included to help spark new ideas. With limited government funding available for conservation and increasing competition for grant support, corporate efforts can fill a growing need for environmental stewardship while also providing business benefits. Strategic Corporate Conservation Planning presents a comprehensive approach for effective engagement between the public and private sector, encouraging pragmatic partnerships that benefit us all.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Oregon's Willamette Valley ... is losing part of its natural heritage. Habitat loss and fragmentation coupled with the loss of disturbance regimes that rejuvinated and maintained native habitats has resulted in population declines of many of the valley's sensitive wildlife and plants. Several Willamette Valley species are currently listed under the State or Federal endangered species acts ... we worked with the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife, and other governmental and non-governmental organizations engaged in conservation efforts in Willamette Valley to complete a study of land-based conservation needs and opportunities in the valley. For the purposes of this study, land-based conservation includes actions to identify, preserve, restore, and manage terrestrial areas primarily for their wildlife habitat values while promoting nature-based recreational and educational activities where appropriate"--Page i.

Download or read book Models for Planning Wildlife Conservation in Large Landscapes written by Joshua Millspaugh and published by Academic Press. This book was released on 2011-04-28 with total page 736 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A single-resource volume of information on the most current and effective techniques of wildlife modeling, Models for Planning Wildlife Conservation in Large Landscapes is appropriate for students and researchers alike. The unique blend of conceptual, methodological, and application chapters discusses research, applications and concepts of modeling and presents new ideas and strategies for wildlife habitat models used in conservation planning. The book makes important contributions to wildlife conservation of animals in several ways: (1) it highlights historical and contemporary advancements in the development of wildlife habitat models and their implementation in conservation planning; (2) it provides practical advice for the ecologist conducting such studies; and (3) it supplies directions for future research including new strategies for successful studies.Intended to provide a recipe for successful development of wildlife habitat models and their implementation in conservation planning, the book could be used in studying wildlife habitat models, conservation planning, and management techniques. Additionally it may be a supplemental text in courses dealing with quantitative assessment of wildlife populations. Additionally, the length of the book would be ideal for graduate student seminar course.Using wildlife habitat models in conservation planning is of considerable interest to wildlife biologists. With ever tightening budgets for wildlife research and planning activities, there is a growing need to use computer methods. Use of simulation models represents the single best alternative. However, it is imperative that these techniques be described in a single source. Moreover, biologists should be made aware of alternative modeling techniques. It is also important that practical guidance be provided to biologists along with a demonstration of utility of these procedures. Currently there is little guidance in the wildlife or natural resource planning literature on how best to incorporate wildlife planning activities, particularly community-based approaches. Now is the perfect time for a synthestic publication that clearly outlines the concepts and available methods, and illustrates them. - Only single resource book of information not only on various wildlife modeling techniques, but also with practical guidance on the demonstrated utility of each based on real-world conditions. - Provides concepts, methods and applications for wildlife ecologists and others within a GIS context. - Written by a team of subject-area experts
