Changing Cultural Tastes: Writers and the Popular in Modern Germany (Remapping Cultural History)

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: It has often been assumed that Europeans invented and had the exclusive monopoly over courtly and romantic love, commonly considered to be the highest form of relations between men and women. This view was particularly prevalent between 1770 and the mid-twentieth century, but was challenged in the 1960s when romantic love came to be seen as a universal sentiment that can be found in all cultures in the world. However, there remains the historical problem that the Europeans used this concept of love as a fundamental part of their self-image over a long period (traces of it still remain) and it became very much caught up in the concept of marriage. This book challenges the underlying eurocentrism of this notion while exploring in a more general sense the connection between identity and emotions. [detailed...]

Changing How the World Does Business: FedEx`s Incredible Journey to Success - The Inside Story

2006 y.
Publisher: —
Description: For a long time, it looked like FedEx would never get off the ground. The company’s early years were an unending series of legal, financial, and operational crises that continually threatened its ability to stay in business. Yet FedEx`s leaders and employees were incredibly resourceful and resilient. Pilots used personal credit cards to gas up planes, paychecks weren’t cashed, and in one of the most famous episodes, founder Fred Smith literally gambled the company’s last remaining funds to keep the planes flying. Becuase Roger Frock was with the companies from the start, he is able to chronicle these real-life hardships and hard-fought triumphs as only an insider can. With humor and insight, he describes how FedEx overcame impossible odds to become one of the world`s greatest success stories, a revolutionary company that truly changed the way the world does business.

The topics covered range over many of Professor Biagi`s special interests, including the following: the formulation of a new basis for labour law that could resolve new issues, employee protection in corporate restructuring, the trend toward individual `enterprise bargaining`, a new European employment policy and what it might entail, the growing phenomenon of `flexibilisation`, the effects of an aging workforce, the crucial nexus of free trade, labour, and human rights, the promise of EU enlargement, and protection of part-time workers.

Changing Innovation in the Pharmaceutical Industry: Globalization and New Ways of Drug Development

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: The internationalization of research and technology is one key component of the globalization of trade and business, with potentially major impacts on patterns of economic development and public policies worldwide. Particularly in the already highly globalized pharmaceutical industry, innovation processes have changed considerably in the last 15 - 20 years. One-dimensional, linear single-actor type processes are being replaced by multi-dimensional, complex, multi-actor schemes. As a consequence, new players are becoming more important, with biotechnology firms playing a key role. This study analyzes these new ways in drug development in pharmaceuticals within the concept of `national systems of innovations` as well as from the perspectives of different actors, and collects a lot of empirical evidence for the assumed type of changes, its repercussion on significant input measures and on the differing performance of national pharmaceutical industries.

Michael A. Witt
Changing Japanese Capitalism: Societal Coordination and Institutional Adjustment

2007 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Economic crisis tends to spur change in the `rules of the game` - the `institutions` - that govern the economic activity of firms and employees. But after more than a decade of economic pain following the burst of the Japanese Bubble Economy of the 1980s, the core institutions of Japanese capitalism have changed remarkably little. In this systematic and holistic assessment of continuity and change in the central components of Japanese capitalism, Michael A. Witt links this relatively slow rate of institutional change to a confluence of two factors: high levels of societal co-ordination in the Japanese political economy, and low levels of deviant behavior at the level of individuals, firms, and organizations. He identifies social networks permeating Japanese business as a key enabler of societal co-ordination and an obstacle to deviancy, and sheds light on a pervasive but previously under explored type of business networks, intra-industry loops.

Changing Minds: Computers, Learning, and Literacy

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: Andrea diSessa`s career as a scholar, technologist, and teacher has been driven by one important question: can education--in particular, science education--be transformed by the computer so that children can learn more, learn more easily at an earlier age, and learn with pleasure and commitment? This book is diSessa1s informed and passionate affirmative answer to that question. While written at a level that anyone with a good acquaintance with high school science can understand, the book reflects the depth and breadth of the issues surrounding technology in education. Rejecting the simplistic notion that the computer is merely a tool for more efficient instruction, diSessa shows how computers can be the basis for a new literacy that will change how people think and learn. He discusses the learning theory that explains why computers can be such powerful catalysts for change in education, in particular, how intuitive knowledge is the platform on which students build… [detailed...]

Description: Insights into One of the Greatest Mysteries of Human Behavior Minds are exceedingly hard to change. Ask any advertiser who has tried to convince consumers to switch brands, any CEO who has tried to change a company`s culture, or any individual who has tried to heal a rift with a friend. So many aspects of life are oriented toward changing minds-yet this phenomenon is among the least understood of familiar human experiences. Now, eminent Harvard psychologist Howard Gardner, whose work has revolutionized our beliefs about intelligence, creativity, and leadership, offers an original framework for understanding exactly what happens during the course of changing a mind-and how to influence that process. Drawing on decades of cognitive research and compelling case studies-from famous business and political leaders to renowned intellectuals and artists to ordinary individuals-Gardner identifies seven powerful factors that impel or thwart significant shifts from… [detailed...]

Changing Organizational Culture: A Study of the National Government

Publisher: —
Description: Since the 1970s there has been a growing interest in examining the nature of organizational culture and change. In `Changing Organizational Culture: A Study of the National Government,` author Philip Nufrio takes this examination one step further by exploring the use of multivariate statistics and applying them in a time-based study. As a result, Dr. Nufrio offers valuable insight into the organizational impact of the National Performance Review on the federal cabinet executive agencies. His conclusion: that the measurement model does not support evidence of significant cultural change during the NPR implementation, despite certain cultural questions that experienced change within these agencies. Rather, the conclusions drawn from this landmark study validate those of the literature in their assertion that teamwork is an important variable in defining organizational culture. Add to this Dr. Nufrio`s theory that the development of reward systems might in fact be an indicator of… [detailed...]

Changing Paths : International Development and the New Politics of Inclusion

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: After two decades of marketizing, an array of national and international actors have become concerned with growing global inequality, the failure to reduce the numbers of very poor people in the world, and a perceived global backlash against international economic institutions. This new concern with poverty reduction and the political participation of excluded groups has set the stage for a new politics of inclusion within nations and in the international arena. The essays in this volume explore what forms the new politics of inclusion can take in low- and middle-income countries by using a polity-centered approach that focuses on the political capacities of societal and state actors to negotiate large-scale collective solutions and that highlights a variety of possible strategies to lift large numbers of people out of poverty and political subordination. The contributors suggest there is little basis for the radical polycentrism that colors so much contemporary… [detailed...]

Changing Patrons: Social Identity and the Visual Arts in Renaissance Florence

2004 y.
Publisher: Pennsylvania State University Press
Description: To whom should we ascribe the great flowering of the arts in Renaissance Italy? Artists like Botticelli and Michelangelo? Or wealthy, discerning patrons like Cosimo de`Medici? In recent years, scholars have attributed great importance to the role played by patrons, arguing that some should even be regarded as artists in their own right. This approach receives sharp challenge in Jill Burke`s Changing Patrons, a book that draws heavily upon the author`s discoveries in Florentine archives, tracing the many profound transformations in patrons` relations to the visual world of fifteenth-century Florence. Looking closely at two of the city`s upwardly mobile families, Burke demonstrates that they approached the visual arts from within a gridof social, political, and religious concerns. Art for them often served as a mediator of social difference and a potent means of signifying status and identity. Changing Patrons combines visual analysis with techniques from history and… [detailed...]

Changing Patterns of Indigenous Economic Systems

2008 y.
Publisher: —
Description: This book is about the relationships that developed between peasant households in Bungoma district of western Kenya and the strategies that were devised by the British colonial state to incorporate their production and exchange systems into the mainstream of the colonial economy and the wider global economy. The various historical epochs through which this interaction occured include the period before 1930, the 1930s when policy was influenced by the Great Depression, the period punctuated by the Second World War, the immediate post-war period, and finally the period between 1954 and 1960. Each of these periods was peculiar in terms of the agrarian policies privileged by the colonial state in Kenya`s rural areas such as Bungoma. While highlighting the centrality of the colonial state in the process of agrarian change and rural transformation, the book also assigns agency to rural cultivators, arguing that the degree of success of statist policies hinged considerably on the extent to… [detailed...]
