Contemporary businesses are exposed to global competition enhanced by new information technology and liberalized cross-border transactions in many industries. This introduces a new competitive dynamic, influenced by actors in developed and emerging markets. The dynamic puts major demands on executives as they consider future moves that support strategic initiatives. The context of intensified global competition requires attention from practicing (and aspiring) leaders in international business organizations.Drawing on contemporary research, Competitive International Strategy: Key Implementation Issues addresses international business strategy formulation and implementation in the global competitive market. It captures the essential strategy components by elaborating on the implementation of corporate integration and local responsiveness. This is considered a vital dichotomy in the development of international business strategies. Essential components include competition context, firm's resources, strategy directions and competence, implementation issues, and competitiveness. The book includes several detailed company cases.Bridging the strategy formulation and implementation is crucial for the ultimate success of international business firms. This book will be of great value to students at an advanced level, academics, and reflective practitioners in the fields of strategic management, leadership, and international business.

This book reveals the power dynamics and interpersonal politics that lie at the heart of professional organizations. Drawing on the latest academic theory, and based on interviews with over 500 senior professionals, it analyses how professionals come together to create 'leadership'.

Medicinske og kirurgiske cases i sygepleje er ikke som de gængse, teoretiske lærebøger i sygepleje. Formålet her er ikke at udfolde sygeplejen i hele sit væsen eller at beskrive kompleksiteten i professionen, men derimod at tilbyde en supplerende læringsform med fokus på klinisk sygepleje i helt konkrete, praksisnære patientforløb.Simplificering af sygeplejen er valgt ud fra et pædagogisk didaktisk hensyn, da caseformen støtter den kliniske beslutningstagen med fokus på den refleksive tankeproces, der fører frem til handlingen og viser overvejelserne bag. En kundskab, som for eksperten er lige så vanskelig at lære fra sig, som den er at tilegne sig for novicen, de studerende og de nyuddannede.Caseformen støtter læseren i at omsætte sin teoretiske viden til praksis. Gennem 115 cases på tværs af 17 medicinske og kirurgiske specialer kan læseren med sig selv som hovedperson øve sig i, hvordan sygepleje til en patient i en lignende problemstilling kan se ud – i både akutte og kroniske forløb. Formen giver fagligt råderum, da den understøtter det faktum, at sygepleje altid er personcentreret og tager udgangspunkt i den konkrete patientens særlige situation – de mange patientindividuelle forhold skal altid afspejle sig i den konkrete sygepleje.Medicinske og kirurgiske cases i sygepleje er skrevet af erfarne kliniske sygeplejersker og repræsenterer anerkendt og aktuel dansk sygeplejefaglig praksis inden for de valgte specialer. Casebogen henvender sig særligt til sygeplejestuderende som forberedelse til den kliniske del af sygeplejeuddannelsen og til nyuddannede og nyansatte som introduktion til deres nye kliniske speciale.

You are already a leader, even if you don't yet know it. You can become a great leader, which the world desperately needs-leaders with courage, compassion, and the ability to raise each unique individual to their highest levels of performance. Leadership is a learned series of skills and behaviors; however, the path to becoming a great leader first begins with the acknowledgment that you are one, followed by your strong desire and commitment to be a great one. The leadership quotient is built on the premise and promise that everyone is a leader and that only by increasing the degree of mastery in all four critical areas can an individual transition from ordinary or mediocre into the more aspirational, urgently needed realm of truly great leaders. This practical guide to leadership is filled with tools and real-world examples that you can quickly add to your repertoire and immediately apply within your organization. These tools can be leveraged by every reader, from those who have never led before to those who have been leading for years. The Chinese philosopher Lao-Tzu captured the essence of the leadership quotient principles in his quote, which ends with the line, "But of a good leader, who talks little, when his work is done, his aim fulfilled, they will all say, We did this ourselves." If you aspire to become that kind of leader, to add tools to your belt that position you to lead extremely well, then this book and those tools are your path to achieve that aspiration.

Recruiting, hiring and retaining great people are the most important skill sets any manager can acquire.With talented and dedicated people, any business can succeed. Without great people, every business will fail. Yet many managers recruit only when they have a job opening, often settling for those who are only "good enough". Yet hiring the right people is an ongoing process, not a one-time activity.Did you know that 83% of workers are unhappy with their jobs and that 68% are actively looking for a new career opportunity? Great managers keep in contact frequently with qualified recruits and talk to candidates every three months. Poor managers wait until they have a need, and then hire the wrong people!Unfortunately, many managers often hire those who are most like them instead of who are best suited for the open position. But great managers "hire slow, fire fast." They interview effectively and check a candidate's past performance before making an offer. How someone produced and behaved in the past is likely how they will produce and behave in the future.In this book, How to Recruit, Hire and Retain Great People, you will learn: The three-month call script and how you can use it to source great people.How to use the 5-Step Bridge to find out each candidate's needs and goals.The 11 key questions and how to weight them to objectively select the right person for the right job.The 4-Step Training Approach that will help each candidate produce faster results.How the Let's Assume Technique will help you retain great people longer!

Stephan Wollgarten untersucht horizontale Unternehmenskooperationen von Steuerberatungs- und Wirtschaftsprüfungskanzleien (¿Kanzleikooperation¿). Welche Motive zeichnen solche Kooperationen aus und welche Faktoren beeinflussen Struktur und Erfolg derselben? Stärkt der Kooperationserfolg letztlich den Kanzleierfolg? Der Autor behandelt diese Fragen und stellt die Ergebnisse einer bundesweiten, repräsentativen Erhebung vor. Er identifiziert Anreize und Risiken und liefert anhand eines quantitativen Forschungsansatzes und systematisch entwickelter Bewertungs- und Wirkungshypothesen eine Untersuchung der Vorteilhaftigkeit von Kanzleikooperationen und ihrer Gestaltung. Mit der differenzierten Analyse formuliert er schließlich konkrete Handlungsempfehlungen und zeigt weiteren Forschungsbedarf auf.

Collaboration and teamwork are the keystones of organizational life. Managing a team requires specific competencies, the outcomes of a process of informed learning based on critical analysis not only of organizational successes, but failures as well. This book provides the tools, the methodology, and the guiding principles to support the people who work in teams as members and as leaders. The main issues inherent to team management are addressed by following a problem-based approach, with the aim of facilitating the achievement of team objectives. The authors encourage readers to reflect on the daily challenges of working on a team, and show how to lay the foundations for building a synergetic team: correctly structuring the team, assigning responsibilities, resolving conflicts, and managing decisions and meetings to optimize negotiation processes. The book also explores the advantages and obstacles to running geographically dispersed teams. Completing each chapter is an interview with an expert who offers answers to the myriad questions that team leaders have to ask themselves to be able to manage their teams with intelligence and common sense.

Using 18 new cases this book shows that in the past companies did not manage labour or customers as long as they did not need to. Tougher competition has forced them to recover control using more processes and reporting systems. But the result has been the opposite: the more they rule, the more they lose control.

Every organization faces diffi cult decisions when managing risk and the potential consequences of its manifestation. For a more thorough outlook on risk, organizations should also evaluate and engage with its advantages. Organizational Risk Management: Managing for Uncertainty and Ambiguity covers a series of perspectives that represent both causal and interpretative frameworks. These perspectives shed light on how organizational structures and processes adapt amid a complex, dynamic organizational environment in an effort to manage and exploit the accompanying risks of that environment. This volume will oftentimes challenge the expectation for and utility of clarity in crisis situations, thereby favoring uncertainty and ambiguity as the necessary conditions to exploit organizational risk and explore opportunities that rely on interpretation, learning, and knowledge among individuals. The ultimate objective of Organizational Risk Management: Managing for Uncertainty and Ambiguity is to promote discussion among practitioners and organizational scholars who venture to understand organizational risk. Setting such a goal is to essentially practice what this volume shall inevitably preach: engage one another in order to proactively monitor and respond to risk. Strengthening ties along the bridge between practice and science will be a welcomed consequence of this volume.

Ist das Polizeimanagement lernfähig? Wie äußert sich das in seinem strategischen und operativen Handlungsumfeld? Und: Welchen Einfluss haben institutionell gewachsene Automatismen darauf? Die Polizei als flexible und adaptive Einsatzorganisation ist mit komplexen dynamischen Handlungsfeldern, Risiken und Gefährdungspotenzialen konfrontiert. Neben der täglichen Routinearbeit kommen Demonstrationen, Amokläufe, terroristische Anschläge hinzu. Die Polizei als lernende Organisation sollte daher stets auf unerwartete Ereignisse und sicherheitsrelevante Entwicklungen vorbereitet sein, um sie frühzeitig zu erkennen und folgenarm zu bewältigen. Anhand von drei praktischen Fallbeispielen wird untersucht, ob und wie operative Polizeieinsätze systemorientiert nach Kriterien der lernenden Organisation ablaufen können und wo Verbesserungspotenziale für unerwartete und kritische Situationen möglich oder notwendig sind.

Die Narrative Organisationsentwicklung ist ein relativ neues Paradigma, das jedoch zunehmend Eingang in Change-, Strategie-, Kommunikations-, Wissensmanagement- und Entwicklungsprozesse in Unternehmen findet. Die Pramisse dahinter ist, dass Sinn (Purpose), Werte, Identitat, Wissen und Kommunikation von Unternehmen wesentlich durch narrative Strukturen (Geschichten und Erzahlungen) definiert, entwickelt und weitergegeben werden.Dieser Band versammelt Fallbeispiele, in denen narrative Ansatze und Methoden in der Organisationsentwicklung von Praktiker*innen angewendet wurden. Sie dienen als Anregung, in der eigenen Organisation mit narrativen Herangehensweisen zu arbeiten. Jedes Fallbeispiel ist so anschaulich und transparent erzahlt, dass der/die Leser*in Methoden, Strategien und Ablaufe an den Bedarf der eigenen Organisation oder des eigenen Projektes anpassen kann. Der Band ist ein Arbeitsbuch, das Ideen gibt und Methoden in ihrer Anwendbarkeit transparent macht - und so den Leser*innen den Einstieg in die Narrative Organisationsentwicklung und -beratung erleichtert.Die Idee des Buches entstand im Rahmen der ersten europaischen Fortbildung in der "e;Narrativen Organisationsberatung"e;; die Fallarbeiten der Teilnehmenden zur Zertifizierung in der Fortbildung, die sie in ihren Herkunftsorganisationen durchgefuhrt haben, bilden den Grundstock dieses Buches. Erganzt wurde es durch Falle weiterer Alumni der Fortbildungen der Herausgeber*innen sowie erfahrener Praktiker*innen in der narrativen Organisationsentwicklung.

Innovation handler om at finde løsninger, når vi selv eller andre har behov for det. Løsningerne finder man ved at tænke sig om og prøve sig frem. Derfor handler innovation også om opfindelser, vilde idéer og at lære af sine fejl og prøve igen. Innovation er et af de tre tværgående temaer i folkeskolens fag, og her får man en grundig forklaring på, hvad innovation er, og hvorfor det er vigtigt.De små fagbøger er til elever i 3.-6. klasse. Detaljerigdommen er større end i de forrige serier, og eleverne bliver i den grad klogere på det emne, de læser om. Bøgerne kan med stort udbytte bruges til læsekurser, læsning i fagene, faglig læsning, projekt- og temaarbejde samt interesselæsning.  Der er gratis opgaver til alle seriens bøger på fagbog.gyldendal.dk.
