Bridging the Leadership Gap

Policies and Workplace Equality

This book delves deep into the complex, ethically fraught topic of proofreading of student writing by exploring a variety of perspectives on proofreading interventions in student texts. It gives voice to a range of ethical perspectives, from those who are deeply troubled by proofreading of student writing to those who take a more permissive stance and those whose confusion lands them somewhere in between. As the first book-length work on this topic, it makes a necessary contribution to research on proofreading of student work.

Ethics, Roles and Responsibilities

Organizations in Context

Das Buch behandelt das umfangreiche Gebiet der Medizin in einigen Schwerpunktthemen und weist auf ökonomische Zusammenhänge zu diesen Themen hin.&nbsp;Die Notwendigkeit, medizinische mit ökonomischer Forschung und Lehre zu verknüpfen, wird nicht mehr in Frage gestellt, da die Kosten im Gesundheitswesen ausufern. Ein aktuelles Beispiel für überproportional steigende Kosten im Gesundheitswesen sind die Ausgaben für Medikamente, die stärker zunehmen als das Bruttoinlandsprodukt (BIP). Die Kostendiskussion muss daher weiter auf allen Ebenen des Gesundheitswesens vom niedergelassenen Arzt bis zum Krankenhaus, von der pharmazeutischen Industrie bis zu den Spitzenverbänden der Selbstverwaltung geführt werden, da die wirtschaftlichen Konsequenzen einer rationalen medizinischen Versorgung analysiert, kritisch diskutiert, bewertet und transparent dargestellt werden müssen.&nbsp;Es fehlt bisher ein Basislehrbuch der Medizin für Ökonomen, also ein Buch, das medizinische Inhalte auf das für Gesundheitsökonomen relevante Maß begrenzt und dabei versucht, medizinische Maßnahmen im Zusammenhang mit Kostenbewertungen zu veranschaulichen.&nbsp;Das wesentliche Anliegen des vorliegenden Buches ist daher die Verbindung ärztlichen Denkens und Handelns mit ökonomischen Überlegungen, da der Dialog zwischen Ökonomen und Mediziner nur auf der Basis gemeinsamen Wissens effizient geführt werden kann.

The purpose of this book is to connect the three domains of (1) ESG investment, (2) Industrie 4.0, and (3) blockchain technology through the common concept of “data,” and to illustrate how these elements are transforming modern industrial structures and corporate governance. The book is organized into four parts, introducing the key concepts and theoretical models necessary for understanding its structure.First, the chapter reinterprets ESG investment through the lens of Max Weber’s ethics, positioning environmental, social, and governance factors not merely as indicators but as essential “information” that shapes corporate decision-making. It also examines the differences between ESG and SRI (using Euler and Venn diagrams), addresses the challenges of greenwashing and possible countermeasures, and discusses how pension systems incorporate future value.Next, using the automotive industry as an example, the chapter explains how Industrie 4.0, the IoT, and Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) are reshaping production processes and governance structures. A key point here is the shift from a traditional understanding of corporate value—once perceived in a “reified” form—to a society in which such value is increasingly visualized and assessed through data. By applying frameworks such as Porter’s Value Chain and Stan Shih’s Smiling Curve, the chapter analyzes the datafication of corporate behavior and its implications.Furthermore, the chapter explores how the development of blockchain technology contributes to rebuilding trust, advancing decentralized governance, and enhancing transparency. This reflects a transition from an economy centered on production to one in which the “design of exchange” plays a central role in determining value.Finally, the chapter employs interdisciplinary models—such as the Stakeholder Matrix, the St. Gallen Management Model, POW and POS, Hegelian dialectics, and Popper’s Three Worlds—to show how these three domains interact and complement one another as society moves, often unconsciously, toward a more sustainable economic model. Blockchain technology, in particular, serves as a key to understanding this transition, offering insights into how forms of exchange rooted in capitalist “reification” or “fetishism” are being reshaped.

Evolutionary Economics and Social Complexity Science

This is the first book to present a new approach of institutional design as an evolutionary applied policy based on coherent conceptualization and methodology, and to study the actuality and implications of diversifying real/virtual community currencies. In contrast to a de facto standard theory, an institutional ecosystem can be composed of various institutions that continue to coexist with changing relative frequencies. In this view, diversified monetary institutions with local rules are feasible and realistic. Community currencies are worldwide attempts to redress such problems as financial instability, chronic stagnation, and decline of communities caused by globalization of the economy. Considering those alternative movements as a new type of policy, "evolutionist institutional design", this book clarifies the feasibility and significance of community currencies in the current era of globalization. The book also provides a better understanding than mainstream approaches of such platform institutions as money that determine fundamental means of cognition and action of interacting agents. Money is a symbolically generalized communication medium in the mesodomain that mediates between socioeconomic performance and patterns in the macrodomain and motives and cognitive frameworks in the microdomain. Conventional national systems of money and finance are platform institutions that determine basic replicators for a capitalistic market economy to evolve. In contrast, community currencies conveying both economic and social/cultural values are distinct platform institutions that are expected to endogenously change such basic replicators in outer and inner institutions for agents to a noncapitalistic market economy. These currencies are considered target institutions for "media design" in the framework of evolutionist institutional design.

An HR Approach to Organizational Design and People Strategy

Workplace Agility

This book studies one part of the Sundarbans, the largest and one of the most fragile mangrove ecosystems in the world. The study is placed in the context of highly topical international debates on biodiversity, climate change and economic transformation, in a region of South Asia that still faces immense population pressure and severe poverty. An analysis of existing and potential future policies sets the debate in a comparative international perspective that has relevance well beyond the confines of South Asia.
 
 While there have been a large number of studies on the socio-economic aspects of physical quality of life in the Sunderbans, there are very few perception studies except at a basic level. The current volume has two major aspects. The first part contains a detailed study of overall 
 demography and objective life condition
 which includes (a) quality and ownership of private goods – equipment and machinery, livestock, house, land, consumer goods; (b) quality of public goods and amenities and their accessibility; (c) objective measures of relatively abstract factors related to social, political and familial environment such as quality of governance, extent of gender equality, social inclusion, social harmony, security, law and order, family bondings; (d) financial assets and indebtedness; (e) income and expenditure; (f) natural and man-made calamity, and; (g) vulnerability related to points (d), (e) and (f) above.
 
 The second part comprises a detailed study of 
 subjective life satisfaction, and value systems and priorities
 . The former refers to 
 people’s perception
 regarding the various facets of their 
 personal life
 - economic situation, standard of living, family and friends, work life and environment as also their 
 perception about the well-being of the community
 . This refers to the overall social, business, and political environment such as social and help network, social inclusion, communal harmony, participation in civic and social activities, job opportunities and employment generation, government developmental project initiatives, disaster management initiatives, law and order etc. 
 Value systems and priorities
 refer to individual rankings of the factors considered as necessary for personal happiness and for a happy society. It also includes their preferred rankings of government developmental initiatives and views regarding effectiveness and impact of such initiatives.&nbsp;

Discusses a micro- and quantitative study of perception and value systems Covers a broad range of socio-economic aspects 
 Explores links between quality of life and vulnerability, both actual and perceived

Measuring Quality of Life and Human Vulnerability in the Sunderbans Region of India

New Frontiers in Regional Science: Asian Perspectives

This book integrates diversified disciplines, research approaches, and methodologies of area studies, regional economic development, and regional science. With its huge population, China has accomplished rapid economic growth since the 1990s, although the significant income gap among regions and individuals has become a serious problem for its society. China's accession to the WTO in 2001 has had various influences on the entire food system, from agriculture to consumers, through the food manufacturing and distribution industries. The changes in the Chinese food system are considered to have also affected the agriculture and food industries in Asian countries where economic interdependence has been promoted in past decades. The author argues these issues based on interdisciplinary and multi-disciplinary methods and approaches and has successfully derived empirical and theoretical results that are rich in policy implications. The topics addressed include food security and sustainability of agriculture especially in the suburbs of big cities; poverty reduction in rural agricultural areas amidst prosperity in urban and coastal areas; regional networks and international trade of the food industry in East Asia; creation of innovative knowledge and human capital for clustering of the agro-food sector; regional development strategy; and international cooperation. The book is interesting for researchers in the field, especially for those who are concerned with the food system that has been changed dynamically in the past two decades, and it is informative, as well, for practitioners who are engaged in related business.

Clarifies the dynamism of China’s agro-food system centering on the issue of food security Integrates and advances diversified existing principles, disciplines, research approaches, and methodologies Provides materials, methods, ideas, and theories for understanding the changes in China’s agro-food sector

This title is included in Bloomsbury Professional's Irish Company and Commercial Law online service.

The Law of Companies

Corporate purpose is a fixture of boardrooms, annual reports, executives' talk, and employer branding. Yet the average effect of corporate purpose on financial performance is zero. Some firms turn purpose into concrete practices and stronger performance. Others do not live by purpose standards and create incoherent demands, poor coordination, and weaker performance. How to be part of the former group is a strategic question. The CLARITY framework developed in this book offers an answer grounded in evidence. Purpose statements, however eloquently crafted, remain stagnant without the leadership practices that embed them in employees' daily experiences. CLARITY connects the employees' purpose-based leadership experience to seven levers of performance: Commitment, Legitimacy, Autonomy, Resourcefulness, Innovativeness, Trust, and You. Drawing on extensive survey response data, experiments, simulations, and interviews with leaders in over thirty corporations, Rodolphe Durand and Harrison Munro-Clark explain why purpose succeeds in some organisations and backfires in others. For each lever, a chapter quantifies expected returns, identifies specific blockers, and provides practical do's and don'ts. Through cases including Spotify, Novo Nordisk, Boeing, and BrewDog, Durand and Munro-Clark show the rewards of effective implementation and the costs of failure. Purpose is a strategic choice, yet it pays off only when leaders do the work. Rigorous and practical throughout, CLARITY is a guide for leaders at every level who want to close the gap between purpose on paper and in practice.

This book focuses on the pedagogical redesign of a university course in diversity management at HTW Dresden. The focus is on developing an innovative teaching concept that systematically combines digital self-study phases, collaborative learning processes and game-based elements in the form of an educational escape room. The aim is not only to impart the theoretical foundations of diversity management to students, but also to support them in developing practical skills for dealing with diversity in professional organisational contexts. The course concept developed demonstrates how the integration of knowledge acquisition, cooperative problem-solving and application-oriented learning formats can promote sustainable skills development. The book thus contributes to the further development of modern, digitally supported and competence-oriented university teaching in the field of diversity management.
