Book excerpt: You may need The Art of War to defeat your enemies, but if you prefer to win them over, read The Art of Woo G. Richard Shell and Mario Moussa know what it takes to drive new ideas through complex organizations. They have advised thousands of executives from companies such as Google, Microsoft, and General Electric to organizations like the World Bank and even the FBI's hostage rescue training program. In The Art of Woo, they present their systematic, four- step process for winning over even the toughest bosses and most skeptical colleagues. Beginning with two powerful self-assessments to help readers find their "Woo IQ," they show how relationship-based persuasion works to open hearts and minds. "Ranging across history, from Charles Lindbergh to Sam Walton, the authors examine how savvy negotiators use persuasion - not confrontation-to achieve goals." -U.S. News & World Report

Download or read book Measuring International Authority written by Liesbet Hooghe and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2017-08-24 with total page 748 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the third of five ambitious volumes theorizing the structure of governance above and below the central state. This book is written for those interested in the character, causes, and consequences of governance within the state. This book sets out a measure of authority for seventy-six international organizations (IOs) from 1950, or the time of their establishment, to 2010 which can allow researchers to test expectations about the character, sources, and consequences of international governance. The international organizations considered are regional (e.g. the EU, Andean Community, NAFTA), cross-regional (e.g. Commonwealth of Nations, the Organization of Islamic Cooperation), and global (e.g. the UN, World Bank, WTO). Firstly, the book introduces carefully constructed estimates for the scope and depth of authority exercised by international governments. The estimates are unique in their comparative scope, their specificity, and time span. Secondly, it describes describe broad trends in IO authority by comparing delegation and pooling, over time, across IOs, and across decision areas. Thirdly, it presents the evidence gathered by the authors to estimate international authority by carefully discussing forty-seven international organizations, and showing how their bodies are composed, what decisions each body makes, and how they make decisions. Transformations in Governance is a major new academic book series from Oxford University Press. It is designed to accommodate the impressive growth of research in comparative politics, international relations, public policy, federalism, environmental and urban studies concerned with the dispersion of authority from central states up to supranational institutions, down to subnational governments, and side-ways to public-private networks. It brings together work that significantly advances our understanding of the organization, causes, and consequences of multilevel and complex governance. The series is selective, containing annually a small number of books of exceptionally high quality by leading and emerging scholars. The series targets mainly single-authored or co-authored work, but it is pluralistic in terms of disciplinary specialization, research design, method, and geographical scope. Case studies as well as comparative studies, historical as well as contemporary studies, and studies with a national, regional, or international focus are all central to its aims. Authors use qualitative, quantitative, formal modeling, or mixed methods. A trade mark of the books is that they combine scholarly rigour with readable prose and an attractive production style. The series is edited by Liesbet Hooghe and Gary Marks of the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, and Walter Mattli of the University of Oxford.

This book was released on 2023-03-08 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a compilation of critical annotated bibliographies of important and timely articles in public administration and organization theory. The bibliographies are divided into different themes and categories. Under each theme, there are between 10 and 20 annotated bibliographies (over 500 in total), with a thematic summary at the end. The contributors teach at universities in both the United States and abroad in departments ranging from public administration to education to English. Graduate students, especially doctoral students in public administration, have long wanted a book that offers critical summaries of important articles across the discipline to help them with comprehensive exams. The book will also be useful for teachers and professors as a reference work that provides reliable summaries of the key points in the most influential articles from top journals in the field.The book is about organizational theory and praxis in public administration and explores what leading scholars have reported about various aspects of organizations and organizational theories. It not only helps understand the key to organizational success but also explores leadership topics and the various roles and responsibilities of individuals in an organization.The themes into which the annotated bibliography is divided are as follows: Expectancy theory; Motivation, pay, incentives, and retention; Job satisfaction and quality of work life; Burnout, emotional exhaustion, and stress; Realistic job previews and retention; Emotional intelligence, emotional labor, and showing emotion at work; Groupthink; Equifinality; Organizational change; Organizational traps; Organizational diagnosis; and Organizational learning. The articles summarized in the book help the reader understand organizations, managers, organizational and managerial behaviors, and all the other aspects that come into play in the context of organizations and public administration. The book, theoretically and empirically, helps readers understand problems and thus find solutions in organizations and public administration.The book reviews the conceptual, theoretical, and methodological discussions in the articles and presents them in the format of an annotated bibliography under different themes.

Each chapter begins by presenting the relevance of its theme in the public administration context before the annotated bibliography and a thematic conclusion. This book is ideal for bureaucrats or managers in organizations and government agencies and for students or scholars in public administration and organizational science. It surveys the most important theories and practices in the field and outlines the crucial points of research articles published in leading journals.
Download or read book For Formal Organization written by Paul Du Gay and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2017 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book focuses on the state of Organization Theory, its purpose, object, and practical relevance. In recent years, disquiet has mounted within the field of organizational analysis, broadly defined, about the overly theoretical and a-or anti-organizational state of Organization Theory and its consequent lack of practical purchase, not least in the light of pressing economic, social and political concerns that are often profoundly organizational in nature. The book argues that predominant contemporary modes of theorising within the field, and in particular the stance associated with them, have had the effect of occluding and dissolving Organization Theory's core object - formal organization - and, as a consequence, dissipating its practical focus and reach. The book seeks to contribute to the goal of reviving Organization Theory as a practical science of organizing and rehabilitating its core object -formal organization - through a re-examination and re-assessment of the outlook, comportment and attitude - stance - animating its classical antecedents. This ambition is double edged. For not only does it seek to revive Organization Theory through reconnecting it with the practical orientation framing classical organizational analysis, it also seeks to indicate how the historic products of that orientation or stance still have considerable traction for analysing and intervening in contemporary matters of organizational concern. Not least, this 'classical organizational stance' provides those who adopt it with a method with which to orient themselves both in formal organizational thought and in formal organizational life. It furnishes them with an ethos combining both practical rationality and ethical seriousness. In this sense the book suggest itself both as a guide to doing Organizational analysis and doing practical organization
