Keeper of the Culture

Relational Economics and Organization Governance

This book examines the structure of university knowledge production as publications. Offering an in-depth case study on a medium-size Italian university, it explores networks of collaboration by evidencing the relationship between internal and external authors, their productivity, and the role of team size taking also a longitudinal perspective.
This book investigates also partner’s selection mechanisms in terms of institutional and disciplinary, gender, and academic role proximity. The pathologies of contemporary scientific practice, such as large team size, are discussed within a broad interdisciplinary theoretical landscape. 
The book shows that knowledge is produced locally and transferred globally by constituting a multi-layer Glocal Invisible College, rooted in a model of single universities made by three subsystems loosely connected. 
Researchers, university administrators, and policymakers alike will find this work invaluable. For researchers, it provides a replicable methodology that combines network and statistical analysis, while for university governance and policymakers the insights gained from this analysis can inform strategies to enhance collaborative efforts and improve research outcomes.

The Transformative Power of Creating Community

Flourish

Why Big Labor moved to the right— and the fight ahead for the left to win back America’s working class Unions helped construct the American middle class, defeat Jim Crow, and advance progressive rights, but in Trump’s America, the labor movement is changing. In Big Labor's Big Shift, journalist Nathan Bomey explores how Big Labor and the working class are no longer an automatic ally of the American left. Fueled by decades of economic decline, political disillusionment, and cultural disenfranchisement, new politically nebulous and economically populist leaders in the movement are building a powerful new movement based on class warfare that prizes wage and benefit gains over traditional progressive priorities. Through original reporting and first-hand interviews, Bomey traces key events that have led to this political shift. Bomey reveals: -At the Teamsters, president Sean O’Brien is cozying up to Donald Trump and blasting Democrats as tools of big business, even showing up at the Republican National Convention to deliver his message. -At the United Auto Workers, president Shawn Fain is seizing an opportunity to break the free trade consensus in Washington. The devout Christian, who wields religious rhetoric from the stump, is aligning with the Trump White House on tariffs and blasting Democrats for aggressively pursuing electric vehicles to fight climate change. Bomey shows how the two interconnected phenomena represent a massive political realignment—not just along cultural and nationalism lines, but of the working class itself away from its historic roots in the Democratic party. Urgent and compelling, Big Labor's Big Shift encapsulates the fight for the soul of the union movement.

Why Unions Left Democrats

Big Labor's Big Shift

A blueprint for how we can collectively build a thriving world, from a leading behavioural scientistEat healthily, cut back on alcohol, quit smoking, cycle to work, fly less - we all know what we should be doing. So why aren't we?The answer is both simple and radical: the world is stacked against us. From the moment we wake up, our decisions are shaped by the shops we visit, the streets we walk, the ads we scroll through. These environments are not neutral. They are designed for our convenience and immediate gratification, and to serve the interests of four industries: tobacco, ultra-processed food, alcohol and fossil fuels.Together, these industries drive the climate crisis, from greenhouse gas emissions to deforestation, and contribute to at least one in four deaths worldwide. Yet we are told the problem is one of personal responsibility - that with more information, smarter habits or new technologies, we can change our behaviour.This book challenges those myths. Drawing on decades of cutting-edge science and compelling case studies from around the world, leading behavioural scientist Theresa Marteau explores what actually works, and why those in power keep failing to act on the evidence. From taxing sugary drinks in Mexico to redesigning streets in Paris, from restricting junk food advertising in London to electing more women to office, Marteau shows how proven interventions applied at scale could transform our health and the health of our planet.Clear-eyed and incisive, this is an inspiring blueprint for how together, citizens and governments can push back against corporate power and build a better, brighter future.

A Strategic Approach to Delivering Exceptional Performance in the Boardroom and Beyond

Purpose Beyond Profit

In Organisationen wirken nicht nur jene, die laut Organigramm Verantwortung tragen. Oft sind es informelle Netzwerker, Schattenstrategen und vertrauensvolle Schnittstellenpersonen, die Entscheidungen vorbereiten, Informationen bündeln und Machtverhältnisse prägen. Dieses Buch beleuchtet die fast vergessene Rolle des Factotums: Menschen ohne klaren Titel, aber mit hoher Wirkung. Der Autor analysiert, wie solche Organisationsgestalter entstehen, warum sie besonders in komplexen, chaotischen und stark personalisierten Strukturen unverzichtbar werden – und in welchen moralischen Grauzonen sie agieren. Ein klarsichtiger Beitrag zu informeller Macht, lateraler Führung, Vertrauen, Einfluss und Organisationsdynamik.

Wie Schattenstrategen jenseits der Hierarchie Entscheidungen beeinflussen

Das Factotum – informeller Einfluss in Organisationen

What if most leaders are making their job much harder than it needs to be? Nobody asked you to hold every answer, control every outcome or take the weight alone. It's exhausting, and it doesn't even work.In this engaging leadership fable, CEO Richard Mansfield discovers that every relationship his leadership depends on - his CHRO, his CFO, his executive team, his Chair, his investor - runs on a contract he wrote in his head and never showed to anyone. With the help of his coach, Nigel, he learns to make the implicit explicit - one relationship at a time. It is uncomfortable. It is also, as Nigel promises, simple.This is a book for anyone who sits on an executive team, as every senior leader must pay attention to this specific, practical mechanism of contracting. Honest conversation is not a soft skill sitting alongside performance; it is the mechanism that produces it.Discover: - Reflective questions at the end of each chapter to help you apply the ideas to your own team. - Three practical frameworks you can apply immediately: the relationship map, contracting, and observation-based feedback. - VECTRA, a diagnostic model for reading an executive team as a system.

How the social organization of Europe and China shaped their divergent economic and political trajectories over the past millennium In the eleventh century, when Europe was still backward and poor, China was a rich and sophisticated civilization. Yet Europe became the birthplace of democracy and the Industrial Revolution, driving the Great Enrichment, while China stagnated until the end of the twentieth century and was always ruled by autocracies. Two Paths to Prosperity traces the emergence of two very different social organizations in premodern China and Europe--the clan and the corporation--showing how they were key factors in the economic and political divergence of these two great civilizations. In this landmark book, three leading economists offer a bold new account of why Europe and China evolved along such different trajectories. In the early Middle Ages, public goods like risk sharing, religious worship, education, and conflict resolution were provided by nonstate organizations in both societies. China increasingly relied on kin-based cooperation within clans, while weaker kinship ties in Europe gave rise to corporations such as guilds, universities, and self-governing towns. Despite performing similar functions, clans and corporations were built on very different principles--with lasting consequences until today. Providing a novel answer to a fundamental question in economic and political history, Two Paths to Prosperity shows how extended kinship in Chinese society facilitated the consolidation of autocracy and hindered innovation and economic development, and how corporations in Europe influenced emerging state institutions and set the stage for the Industrial Revolution.

Two Paths to Prosperity

A Critical Look at the Organisation and its Future

The New Organisational Behaviour, Volume II

Warum wiederholen sich Steuerungsprobleme moderner Staatlichkeit trotz wachsender Ressourcen, neuer Technologien und kontinuierlicher Reformen? Aus organisationswissenschaftlicher Perspektive untersucht dieses Buch die strukturellen Ursachen staatlicher Handlungsgrenzen. Anhand historischer und aktueller Fallstudien, vom Flottengesetz des Kaiserreichs über die Polykratie des Nationalsozialismus bis hin zu Bundeswehr, Energiewende und Digitalisierung, werden wiederkehrende Muster organisationaler Entwicklung sichtbar. Im Zentrum steht die These, dass nicht mangelnde Ressourcen oder individuelles Versagen, sondern die zunehmende Komplexität moderner Organisationen ihre Steuerungsfähigkeit begrenzt. Mit dem Wiedemeier-Modell entwickelt der Autor einen analytischen Rahmen, um die Zusammenhänge von Differenzierung, Fragmentierung, Integration und Handlungsfähigkeit systematisch zu beschreiben und für Wissenschaft, Verwaltung und politische Praxis nutzbar zu machen.Der Inhalt<ul><li>Komplexität als Grundbedingung moderner Staatlichkeit</li><li>Differenzierung und Fragmentierung</li><li>Verfahrensdominanz und&nbsp;Verantwortungsdiffusion</li><li>Historische und aktuelle Fallbeispiele</li><li>Das Wiedemeier-Modell als organisationswissenschaftlicher Erklärungsansatz &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;</li></ul>Der AutorLudger Wiedemeier studierte Geschichte und Politikwissenschaft an der Universität Bonn. Seit mehr als drei Jahrzehnten beschäftigt er sich mit Fragen staatlicher Organisation, Wehrbeschaffung, Verwaltungsmodernisierung und organisatorischer Steuerungsfähigkeit. Beruflich verfügt er über umfangreiche Erfahrungen in komplexen Transformations-, Krisen und Infrastrukturprojekten sowie in den Bereichen IT-Governance, Organisationsentwicklung, Krisenmanagement und öffentliche Verwaltung.

Warum scheitern selbst hochentwickelte Industriestaaten trotz enormer finanzieller Ressourcen immer wieder daran, rechtzeitig wirksame militärische Fähigkeiten bereitzustellen? Anhand der Entwicklung deutscher Wehr- und Rüstungsorganisation vom Flottengesetz des Jahres 1898 bis zur Zeitenwende untersucht dieses Buch die strukturellen Ursachen erfolgreicher und gescheiterter Verteidigungsplanung. Im Mittelpunkt steht nicht die Bewertung einzelner Waffensysteme, sondern die grundlegende Frage, wie politische Entscheidungen, industrielle Kapazitäten und militärische Anforderungen zu tatsächlicher Handlungsfähigkeit zusammengeführt werden können. Das Ergebnis ist ein organisationswissenschaftlicher Blick auf mehr als ein Jahrhundert deutscher Sicherheits- und Verteidigungspolitik – und ein Beitrag zur strategischen Debatte über die Zukunft Europas.

Komplexitität und Steuerungsprobleme moderner Staatlichkeit vom Flottengesetz bis zur Zeitenwende

Die Stabilität des Scheiterns

An open invitation to changemakers, educators, conscious consumers, and anyone interested in the creative economy to lean into this grassroots global community and help drive systems change. We live in an age where every convenience is a finger tap away, but historically marginalized communities and ecosystems are paying the price of unconscious consumption. Our current economic practices contribute to environmental damage, social injustice, and declining public trust. The solution, argues Stacey Edgar, social entrepreneur and executive director of the International Folk Art Market, is the artisan economy. In contrast to the profit-at-all-costs model of the mainstream economy, the artisan approach to production and consumption encourages creativity, preserves culture, and cultivates connection. In Artisan Economics, Edgar proposes a shift toward this artisan-centric model that prioritizes creativity, dignity, and community. Drawing on stories and research from around the world, she outlines eight core principles of the artisan economy—purpose, creativity, dignity, resistance, community, value, sustainability, and shared prosperity. She also shares a framework, called the Taproot Model of Systems Change, on which to enact these principles by restoring a vision of the economy as a living system. Ultimately, Edgar proposes, the artisan economy is a way to reconnect consumers with makers, foster sustainable growth, and create a more equitable and human-focused global economy. To create true connections across our global economy, we need a dramatic overhaul of what it means to work and what it means to consume.
