The Patient Experience Leader's Guide: Real Training, Real Tools, Real Improvement in Healthcare

Skills for Scholars

Thoughtful advice on how to leave academia gracefully and build your best life in retirement Retirement is one of the most challenging transitions in an academic's career, and it's natural to feel overwhelmed by the changes that lie ahead. This how-to guide explains how to structure your last few years of employment so that you retire well and feel good about it. Drawing on engaging personal stories from across academia, it shares concrete tips for letting go of one key phase of life and embracing the opportunity to reinvent yourself in the next. On Retiring makes the case that you have the ultimate say in charting your path through retirement, aging, and whatever comes next after academia--and provides the guidance you need to do so. Susan Shaw describes the lessons she learned from her own retirement experience and those of her colleagues, highlighting what worked and what didn't while paying special attention to the things that make the academic workplace unique. She outlines the four-year retirement plan she developed for herself and suggest some steps colleges and universities can take to honor the service of faculty members and help them to stay connected after retirement. Along the way, Shaw examines some of the downsides of aging in the academy and discusses relevant differences in academic experiences, covering topics such as gender, race, and sexuality. Focusing on so much more than just financial planning, On Retiring empowers you with social, psychological, and philosophical tools to leave the academy on your own terms and thrive in retirement.

This book explores Chinese engagement in Africa’s mining sector within the context of international business. Conceptual and empirical contributions by diverse authors examine mining activities of Chinese companies in several African countries. Emerging from those contributions is a theory of minimal investment, defined as the degree to which the companies invest minimally in African operations, communities, and countries just for them to get by (i.e., function as normal).&nbsp;&nbsp; 
The volume presents four conditions that explain why minimal investment persists as a dominant logic of foreign firm behaviour in Africa. Institutions permit it, strategies enact it, heritage legitimizes it, and reactions stabilize it. Minimal investment has produced order, and order is safety both for firms and often for host institutions alike. Optimal investment, by contrast, introduces ‘danger’ because it changes the status quo, redistributes power, and mitigates African rather than firm risk. The Theory of Minimal Investment (TMI) reveals how underinvestment is an intentional, albeit seemingly rational, historically embedded, and institutionally sustained strategy of engagement. 
Coming at a time in which African countries are seeing a surge of Chinese interest in Africa, this book offers a cautionary tale of the consequences of organizations seeking the ‘help’ of Chinese companies. It will appeal to International Business studies and strategy researchers interested in interorganizational relationships, particularly from the African perspective.

How the financialization of healthcare has eroded the quality of care, driven up prices, and worsened health inequalities Financial actors and healthcare leaders increasingly view healthcare organizations as financial assets to be bought, sold, and managed for maximum profit, regardless of the effects on patient care. Uncovering how the federal government enables financial opportunism in healthcare, Healthcare in the Age of Finance Capital offers bold ideas for overhauling a failed system. Rosemary Batt and Eileen Appelbaum provide a unique analysis of the financialization of healthcare, a process in which a growing proportion of the healthcare economy is owned and controlled by the financial sector. Healthcare organizations increasingly depend on financial machinations and the earnings derived from them rather than revenue generated from patient care. The extent to which financial calculations overshadow the healthcare mission depends importantly on institutional legacies, reimbursement rules, and the failure of regulatory oversight. Batt and Appelbaum show how differences in regulations and financing rules shape whether financial actors can penetrate distinct healthcare segments—from hospitals, nursing homes, and ambulatory care to physician specialties, home health, hospice, and autism services. Nonprofit healthcare is not immune from this financial logic. Evidence-based, accessible, and informed by real-world examples, Healthcare in the Age of Finance Capital sheds critical light on how financial deregulation coupled with the relaxation of health, tax, antitrust, and labor laws have allowed financially driven actors to exploit public funds for private gain at the expense of healthcare organizations, patients, communities, labor, and taxpayers.

Betriebswirtschaftlich denken und handeln lernen

Die Sicherung ihrer wirtschaftlichen und finanziellen Zukunft gehört zu den zentralen Fragen, mit denen sich viele Organisationen der Sozialarbeit heute notgedrungen befassen müssen. Mit anderen Worten: sie müssen betriebswirtschaftlich denken und handeln lernen. Den Luxus - "Gewinnmaximierung hier, soziale Gerechtigkeit dort" - als unvereinbare Gegensätze zu sehen und entsprechend zu handeln, kann sich heute niemand mehr leisten.

Der Autor stellt sowohl den Kern des ökonomischen Denkens in der sozialen Arbeit als auch die Besonderheiten einer Betriebswirtschaftslehre für Sozialunternehmen dar. Das Buch ist nicht nur ein Brückenschlag zwischen Betriebswirtschaftslehre und Sozialarbeit, sondern vor allem eine systematische Einführung in betriebswirtschaftliche Fragen, Strategien und Instrumente:

Grundtatbestände der Ökonomie · Ökonomische Dimension der Sozialen Arbeit · Betriebswirtschaftslehre von Sozialunternehmen · Rechnungswesen · Controlling · Rechtsformen · Strategische Unternehmensführung · Beschaffung · Dienstleistungsproduktion · Personalwirtschaft · Bestimmung des Arbeitsbedarfs · Marketing · Finanzierung · Konsequenzen für die Sozialarbeit

Bestens geeignet für Studierende der Studiengänge Sozialmanagement/Sozialwirtschaft, Sozialarbeit/Sozialpädagogik sowie Gesundheits- und Pflegemanagement, Führungskräfte sozialer Einrichtungen und Dienste sowie Beschäftigte in der sozialen Arbeit, die Interesse an diesem Aufgabenfeld haben und sich entsprechend weiterbilden.

Betriebswirtschaftslehre für Sozialunternehmen
