Masyarakat Bali yang turut terdampak oleh penyebaran wabah Covid 19 pun harus mengadaptasi situasi dan kondisi kurang menyenangkan ini. Aktivitas sosial, budaya, dan keagamaan yang mewarnai fenomena keseharian masyarakat Bali menghilang dari ruang-ruang publik. Beraktivitas secara online menjadi pola sosiokultural baru masyarakat, baik dalam kegiatan pendidikan, pemerintahan, perekonomian, maupun in-teraksi sosial lainnya. Pelaksanaan yadnya dari tingkatan keluarga, paibon, banjar, desa adat, hingga kahyangan jagat juga dilaksanakan dengan tingkatan sesederhana mungkin sehingga tidak melibatkan umat dalam jumlah besar. Sebaliknya, fungsi dan peran desa adat yang semula cenderung hanya berkaitan dengan aktivitas so-sial budaya dan keagamaan kini juga mengambil peran penting dalam upaya penanggulangan wabah ini. Peru-bahan sosiokultural masyarakat Bali sebagai konseku-ensi dari penerapan kebijakan penanggulangan Covid 19 ini tentu menarik diungkap secara mendalam, sebagai-mana usaha yang dilakukan para penulis buku ini.
Dalam perjalanan sejarahnya, Agama Hindu di Nusantara telah mengalami banyak penyesuaian dan perubahan akibat dinamika manusia yang tiada henti.

Berangkat dari kekhawatiran, keingintahuan dan tekad yang berkobar untuk menjaga warisan Hindu di Bali dan Nusantara, beberapa pemuda Hindu yang cemerlang berani menuliskan buah pikiran mereka mengenai dinamika kehinduan yang tengah berlaga. Tulisan-tulisan mereka adalah bukti keterbukaan dan kemerdekaan pemikiran mereka mengenai gambaran Hindu masa depan.

In the post-Enron climate corporate executives are increasingly pressured to increase productivity and create an ethical, trustworthy organizational climate. 'Total Performance Scorecard' introduces a concept of organizational improvement and change management that combines the Balanced Scorecard model with the learning organization theory. The TPS contains a personal balanced scorecard, which is tied to an organizational balanced scorecard. These scorecards reflect not only performance goals but personal learning and growth goals as well, and the organizational scorecards also address organizational climate issues. Continuous improvement, change management, 360 degree feedback, and the learning organization are theories that the TPS makes use of in a very straightforward way. If implemented, the TPS enables a company to tie personal goals to organizational goals and tie personal performance to organizational performance, all within a culture that supports integrity, personal growth, learning, and open communication.
