This edited volume presents an interdisciplinary collection of texts that examine the practice of gamification, the use of game design elements in non-game contexts, specifically as an organization and management research problem.As we travel deeper into the twenty-first century, it is becoming increasingly clear the late modernity is re defining its take on games and play. Following what has been termed a general ludification or playification of society, corporations are beginning to see games and play as resources rather than as a wasteful practice. We are witnessing the emergence of the practice of gamificiation with the intention of mobilizing play's motivational power for capitalist production. This book outlines both the essential "how tos" and also critically explores their links to diverse strands of organization theory such as institutionalism, business ethics, critical theory and organizational behavior. Gamification research has been mostly conducted within disciplines such as information studies, game studies and information systems science. This is a paradoxical state of affairs; whilst gamification aims at being a transformative intervention in work processes and practices and is being deployed as such by practitioners.This book will be of value to researchers, academics and students interested in management and organization studies.

This book focuses on digitalised talent management-the use of information technologies in talent management. The book affords theoretically, methodologically and empirically informed insights that are especially salient given the need for executives and organisations to balance the role of humans and technology, while ensuring competitiveness in this interconnected and increasingly digital world. In doing so, the book will shape and contribute to academic and industry-based conversations about the role of technological innovations in enabling organizations to transition towards digital ways of organising talent, as well as the associated implications for the who, what, where, when, and why of talent management as stakeholders decide which aspects of talent management can be delegated to technology, and those that require human agency. ¿This book adds value by assembling subject matter experts currently siloed within traditional research domains whilst also highlighting the complexity of managing talent. By synthesising content from world-leading academics who herald from various backgrounds, the book will instigate, shape and contribute to conversations about both the promises and perils of digitalised talent management and the extent to which judgments and decisions about an organisations most valuable asset-it's talent-should be delegated to non-human agents. ¿This book will be of interest to researchers, academics and students in the fields of talent management and organisational design, especially those interested in digital ways of working, managing and leading.

Behandling og pleje, der retter sig mod patienter medskiftende bevidsthedstilstand og nedsat opmærksomhed, kan være en udfordring. Systematisk screening for delirium er derfor vigtigt, da syndromet ofte bliver overset eller forveksles med andre tilstande som demens, depression og angst.

I Delirium belyses mange af syndromets aspekter grundigt gennem forskningsresultater, mens løbende cases giver en patientnær forståelse af emnet. Indledende i bogen findes desuden en omfattende ordforklaringsliste over de begreber, som man ofte støder på og skal kende i forbindelse med deliriumtilstande. Forfattergruppen repræsenterer forskellige professioner med interesse for deliriumproblematikken. Dette giver en dynamisk introduktion til emnet og et samlet overblik over nyere viden om delirium, som kan være særligt relevant for studerende, sygeplejersker, fysioterapeuter, ergoterapeuter, neuropsykologer og læger, men bogen er anvendelig for alle i sundhedssektoren, der arbejder med patienter, som potentielt har delirium.
