How the cult of capitalism reshaped the American university--and hollowed it out from within.Over the past several decades, American universities have been remade as engines of entrepreneurial ambition. Technology transfer offices, business incubators, pitch competitions, innovation hubs, and leadership centers now sit at the heart of campus life, radically altering how institutions describe their purpose, structure curricula, and imagine student success. The Start-Up Factory argues that this shift has come at a steep cost.James Rushing Daniel traces the rise of entrepreneurialism in higher education and shows how universities came to embrace the figure of the founder as both ideal and benefactor. Business leaders--many of them major donors--are celebrated as singular visionaries, their values imported into academic life and framed as models for intellectual work. This reverence, Daniel argues, has narrowed the university's sense of public responsibility for distorted academics, and transformed institutions into finishing schools for aspiring entrepreneurs. Moving across policy and historical documents, institutional rhetoric, teaching materials, site visits, and interviews, The Start-Up Factory documents how entrepreneurial thinking has reshaped the pedagogy, culture, and mission of the American university.The consequences of this entrepreneurial focus extend far beyond campuses. By promoting the myth of the self-made billionaire, universities help legitimize extreme inequality and normalize forms of power that undermine democratic life. At a moment of deep institutional crisis, when the influence of the billionaire class on college campuses is increasingly absolute and the future of higher education is uncertain, The Start-Up Factory offers a clear-eyed account of how universities arrived here--and why reclaiming their autonomy has become an urgent task.

How Entrepreneurialism Captured Higher Education

The Start-Up Factory

The acclaimed host of The Learning Leader Show delivers the bracing message that growth comes at a cost and equips readers with a rigorous, practical roadmap for paying that price and achieving lasting excellence in work and life.&nbsp;Ambitious people know what they want to do and where they want to go, but they aren’t sure how to get there. Abstract advice feels good but ultimately changes nothing. Only concrete action can change habits, which in turn changes lives.The Price of Becoming is a clear guide with instructions for overcoming complacency, mastering communication, and making better decisions under pressure. Ryan Hawk draws from over 700 interviews with some of the world’s leading experts, leaders, thinkers, and doers, including Jim Collins, Simon Sinek, Adam Grant, Tony Robbins, James Clear, Jocko Willink, Susan Cain, Seth Godin, and General Stanley McChrystal, to answer one powerful question: “What can I do today to build a better me?”Ryan distills their numerous insights, data, and direct personal experiences into a practical, actionable framework he divides into three sections:<ul><li>Learn—Fuel Your Intake Engine</li><li>Work—Take Action</li><li>Lead—Teach Others</li></ul>Personal growth is about pushing your edges. Going beyond your current zone of comfort and competency. Clear, practical, and timeless, The Price of Becoming is an empowering and informative handbook designed to help you sustain excellence and build the life and career you envision through intentional, continuous learning, and growth.

Fundamentals of Construction Project Delivery Systems advocates for a transformative approach that places emphasis on integrated methodologies such as design-build and integrated project delivery. In addition, this book embraces new approaches in the industry: framework and program-based procurement.Unlike conventional perspectives that view project delivery as a mere administrative process and a set of rules/features, this book challenges this notion. It proposes a shift in perspective, positioning the project delivery system as a design endeavor to define an organizational structure. Here, the owner is envisioned as actively adjusting the degree of organizational integration and interest alignment responding to the given internal and external context. Divided into four parts, this book begins by introducing project delivery systems before covering selection methods and contract types in Part 2. The third section goes into detail on four delivery project methods: Design-Bid-Build, CM-at-Risk, Design-Build, and Integrated Project Delivery and follows a similar chapter structure with a case study to demonstrate the method. The final part looks to the future covering new procurement trends, innovation, culture, and efficiency.This book offers practical guidance on how owners can effectively leverage integrated approaches to enhance project outcomes. For educational purposes, this book offers guidance for undergraduate and graduate students in project delivery method courses within construction management programs.

Who decides what good literature is? And in which spaces are these decisions made in a digitized world?

Literary judgement is the starting point for the evaluation, selection and even canonization of a literary work. In the 18th century, educated citizens exchanged ideas, formed public opinion, and promoted common narratives in debates about literature. Today, criticism is shaped in many diverse public spheres and sub-spheres, operating in an economy regulated by attention and in a globalized book market. What does this mean for the roles of critic, author, and reader?
»Literary Judgement and the Fora of Criticism« addresses questions relating to the forms, functions, and significance of literary judgement; the conditions and consequences for criticism in the current media landscape; the medialization of criticism as review and its rhetorical and generic effects; the ascription and dissemination of literary value for a growing but&nbsp;diverse global readership; the implications and consequences for writer, critic, and reader of the digitization of criticism.

Edición especial 10.º aniversario ¿Alguna vez te has sentido abrumado? ¿Sientes que estás al mismo tiempo trabajando más y no estás siendo aprovechado? ¿Estás continuamente ocupado, pero no eres productivo? ¿Sientes como si tu tiempo estuviera constantemente secuestrado por la agenda de otras personas? Si respondiste sí a cualquiera de estas preguntas, la solución es Esencialismo. El Esencialismo es más que una estrategia para administrar tu tiempo o una técnica de productividad. Es una disciplina sistemática para distinguir lo que es absolutamente esencial y para eliminar lo que no lo es: para que podamos hacer la mayor contribución posible a las cosas que de verdad importan. Al forzarnos a utilizar criterios más selectivos para lo que realmente es esencial, la búsqueda disciplinada de menos permite que recuperemos el control de nuestras elecciones sobre dónde gastar nuestro valioso tiempo y energía, en lugar de darle a otros el permiso implícito de elegir por nosotros. Esencialismo es una forma novedosa de hacer todo. Es sobre hacer más, pero mejor, en cada área de nuestra vida. Esencialismo es una actitud emprendedora, audaz y exitosa. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION Special 10th Anniversary Edition. THE LIFE-CHANGING NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • MORE THAN TWO MILLION COPIES SOLD • Now in a 10th anniversary edition featuring a new introduction and bonus 21-day challenge. “Essentialism holds the keys to solving one of the great puzzles of life: How can we do less but accomplish more?”—Adam Grant, bestselling author of Think Again Essentialism isn’t about getting more done in less time. It’s about getting only the right things done. Have you ever found yourself stretched too thin? Are you often busy but not productive? Do you feel like your time is constantly being hijacked? If you answered yes to any of these, the way out is the Way of the Essentialist. Essentialism is more than a time-management technique. It is a systematic discipline for discerning what is absolutely essential, then eliminating everything that is not, so we can make the highest possible contribution toward the things that really matter. By forcing us to apply more selective criteria for where to spend our precious time and energy, the disciplined pursuit of less empowers us to reclaim control of our own choices, instead of giving others the implicit permission to choose for us. Essentialism is not one more thing to do. It’s a whole new way of doing less, but better, in every area of our lives. Join the millions of people who have used Essentialism to change their outlook on the world.

Esencialismo (Edición especial 10.º aniversario) / Essentialism (10th Anniversary Special Edition)

The need for resilience at organisational, department and individual level has never been greater. Geopolitical conflict, climate change, supply chain disruption and political instability are just a handful of the risks that leaders must mitigate to ensure stable business operation and optimum effectiveness. Project resilience refers to the ability of a project or initiative to anticipate, adapt and recover from unexpected challenges, disruptions or uncertainties. It involves the capacity to withstand shocks, maintain functionality in the face of adversity, and quickly recover to a stable state. Resilient projects underpin resilient organisations; a resilient organisation produces sustainable competitive advantage. This book offers a structured framework - the Project Resilience Maturity Model - to assess and enhance resilience in organisations. The authors begin by considering different approaches to project resilience, and by identifying potential tensions therein. In the second part, methods of sustaining project resilience are examined, focusing on the perspective of the project manager, personal responsibility and the role of leadership. The latter part of the textbook provides practical tools and applications to assess and enhance project resilience. Throughout, the authors employ a pedagogical framework designed to ensure maximum effectiveness for students and practitioners. Chapters are organised to reflect the evolution of project resilience maturity, moving from early-stage compliance to strategic integration and transformative resilience. Concepts are introduced in a sequential order that builds on what has come before, with Key Takeaways summarising each chapter's most critical points. Fictional case studies illustrate how topics can be been implemented in a complex project management setting, while Key and Dormant Tensions highlight potential blind spots. Demystifying complex topics without sacrificing scholarly rigour, Project Resilience provides you with a strategic approach to ensuring projects are well-equipped to withstand uncertainties and adapt to dynamic conditions. It is the perfect textbook to support advanced Project Management and Organisational Resilience courses, and to provide practical methods for leading responsible organisations.

This book is open access, What makes people competent at work? This question is becoming complicated with the emergence of new technologies and the hastened pace of global economic exchanges. While there is less consensus about what people should know and be able to do to be rewarded in the workplace, the discussion about skills and competencies becomes even hotter among those who express concern about the gaps between the demands and supplies of "skilled" workforces.
&nbsp;
Given this situation, one of the main objectives of this book is to clarify the true nature of often-discussed "skills gaps", using the cases of manufacturing workers in the Global South. Instead of discussing the issues based on a broad, ambiguous understanding of human abilities, after an extensive, cross-disciplinary review of the literature and theorization, the book proposes a detailed classification of cognitive, non-cognitive (including socio-emotional skills and personality traits), and technical abilities. Then, it presents both contextually relevant and generalizable explanations about relationships among them. By doing so, the volume offers insights for policymakers and practitioners seeking ideas to reform their human resources development policies and practices.
&nbsp;
The second objective of the volume is to propose the analytical perspective of Realist-Constructivism, using the "skills gaps" analysis as the empirical case, to demonstrate its theoretical, conceptual, and practical capacities to overcome the dichotomy between induction and deduction through abductive reasoning with a set of instruments to collect data that enable such analysis.
&nbsp;
Empirical surveys, using a set of questionnaires and skills assessment we developed, were conducted in four countries in the Global South: Ethiopia, Ghana, South Africa, and Pakistan. With Realist-Constructivism, we can consider work-related competencies in close relation to the specific workplace requirements and culture, while situating them within broader industrial, economic, and regulatory frameworks. Our methods and instruments enable us to link the subjective epistemologies of competencies among individuals in the micro-ecologies of the workplace with the ontological realities of labor market opportunities and evaluations.

The US higher education sector faces numerous economic challenges, including the stagnating number of college-age domestic students, geographic mismatch between population growth and the location of colleges and universities, financial pressures, including cutbacks in government support, growing student debt burdens, sticker prices that deter prospective applicants, and the risk of low capital market returns on endowment portfolios. This volume analyzes the responses of students, families, and the financial managers of higher education institutions to these challenges. It presents new insights into the substantial disparities in the financial structure of, and the financial challenges facing, different types of institutions. The volume draws together contributions from financial economics, public finance, and industrial organization, as well as the economics of education.
