This book offers an insightful guide for academics, managers and practitioners, as well as undergraduate and graduate students of business studies. It focuses on how the theoretical foundations of leadership and change management can be used to effectively lead business organizations. Generally speaking, business leaders are beginning to recognize the important of change and transformation, not only as a means of retaining control, but also of demonstrating their own leadership initiative. Though new approaches, designed to make this task easier, are constantly emerging, in practice managerial change remains a challenge. The book chiefly focuses on the open-social-systems model to provide a conceptual framework that structures and relates leadership theories and research to help business leaders manage change. A wealth of case studies and discussion activities that support the main concepts and theories are also included. The book’s primary goal is to help readers successfully plan and manage change and transformation. Tertiary education students who are taking business studies courses can also use it as a sourcebook for the principles of successful change management.
A small group of experienced business leaders and academics have teamed up to create an innovative and potentially disruptive approach to developing leadership in the 21st century. The result is a unique, people-centric, and scientifically researched theory of leadership linked to an accurate data-based assessment and diagnostic product. This is the result of several years of study and development as well as many years of curiosity and experience. This is a new approach to leadership development. The authors use a combination of leadership experience, research, and science to move away from unprovable theory and subjective judgment to deliver a definable product with unlimited application.

During the 1980s and 1990s, Richard Normann and his colleagues developed an original approach to strategy, based on seeing value as inherently co-produced in systems. Their 'Value Creating Systems' approach was a strong contrast to the idea of 'competitive advantage' that defined strategy at the time. The approach focuses on the design of the 'offerings' that define relationships among co-producers, and which connect actors in fields which transcend traditional industry borders. In the contemporary networked world, where consumers become co-producers, the ideas Normann and his colleagues developed towards strategy are uniquely effective in explaining and guiding practice.Strategy for a Netwo...
Lika inför lagen, brukar det heta. Men om en del brottslingar kan skrämma vittnen till tystnad och på så sätt gå fria - vad är lagen värd då? Och är det då inte rätt att skydda sig själv och sitt, vad lagen än säger? Torbjörn Flygts roman ställer många besvärande frågor om hur lätt det är att göra rättvisa till en privatsak. Claes Backe är åklagare i en stor svensk stad. En man med ett juridiskt patos som drivs av en stark personlig moral. Han är lyckligt gift med Gunilla, som är kyrkoherde, och de har två barn i tonåren. Men det förortsområde han bor i härjas av stölder. En grannsamverkan bildas, och den förvandlas till ett regelrätt medborgargarde när e...
Speed, tension, lassitude, épuisement, burn out... À l'heure du toujours plus, toujours plus vite, la philosophie "slow", bien plus qu'un effet de mode, est un réel enjeu humain et organisationnel qui surgit là où on ne l'attendait pas : dans le monde du business ! Cet ouvrage prend appui sur de nombreux cas de chefs d'entreprise qui, loin de prôner une lenteur à tous crins, militent en faveur d'une maîtrise du temps équilibrée et invitent à créer de nouveaux rythmes pour faire de la slow attitude un enjeu de bien-être et de performance économique. Truffé de repères historiques et de références philosophiques, ce livre est aussi un salutaire guide pratique. Il offre à toutes les victimes de l'accélération des pistes concrètes pour ne plus être esclave du speed généralisé et retrouver harmonie entre temps professionnel et vie privée. "Le slow business est au business ce que la pleine conscience est à l'équilibre personnel ! Pierre Moniz-Barreto trace la voie pour s'y initier. Une lecture passionnante qui vous apprendra à trouver le bon rythme en gagnant en efficacité." Éric Albert, Psychiatre, spécialiste de la gestion du stress au travail
Viveca Stens bästsäljande deckarserie har satt Sandhamn och Stockholms skärgård på kartan och fått miljoner läsare att följa Nora Lindes och Thomas Andreassons äventyr. Men hur gick det egentligen till när Nora och Thomas lärde känna varandra? Hur kom det sig att Nora fick ärva den legendariska Brandska villan? Vilka hemligheter döljer sig i havsbandet för en oskyldig seglare och är det verkligen säkert att fira midsommar i skärgården? Här skildrar Viveca Sten i en samling minideckare – både nyskrivna och tidigare publicerade – på ett nytt sätt de karaktärer som fängslat läsare i mer än trettio länder. Samtidigt som stämningen förtätas får vi lära känna fler individer som rör sig i skärgården liksom helt nya sidor av huvudpersonerna i Morden i Sandhamn. Med Sandhamn som utgångspunkt bjuds läsaren på nervkittlande historier med oväntade turer och upplösningar. Viveca Sten visar än en gång att ingen går säker i skärgården.
Für die kleine Spannung zwischendurch. Viveca Sten hat mittlerweile zehn Krimis rund um die Juristin Nora Linde und den Kommissar Thomas Andreasson geschrieben. Doch die gewähren uns nur einen kleinen Einblick in den Sandhamn-Kosmos. Wie haben Nora und Thomas sich damals eigentlich kennengelernt? Wie war das noch mal, als Thomas seinerzeit in den Polizeidienst eingetreten ist? Und was ist überhaupt aus den vielen Figuren geworden, die in den Sandhamn-Romanen eine Nebenrolle spielten? In diesen spannenden Kurzkrimis werden sie zu Hauptfiguren, und somit werden ganz nebenbei alle drängenden Fragen der Leser und Leserinnen beantwortet. Na ja – fast alle. Doch auch jeder, der die Sandhamn-Reihe noch nicht kennt, kann diese Kurzkrimis genießen, ob beim Warten auf den Bus oder im Wartezimmer des Zahnarztes. Viveca Sten schreibt nicht nur spannende Romane – auch in der kurzen Form ist sie eine Meisterin.
