Explaining Civil Society Development
How historically rooted power dynamics have shaped the evolution of civil society globally. The civil society sector—made up of millions of nonprofit organizations, associations, charitable institutions, and the volunteers and resources they mobilize—has long been the invisible subcontinent on the landscape of contemporary society. For the past twenty years, however, scholars under the umbrella of the Johns Hopkins Comparative Nonprofit Sector Project have worked with statisticians to assemble the first comprehensive, empirical picture of the size, structure, financing, and role of this increasingly important part of modern life. What accounts for the enormous cross-national variations i...
Organization and Change Management
Most introductory texts to Business Administration are wide-ranging and are always useful for every business courses and not transferable to any professional environment. This textbook introduces "Organization and Change Management" which are two dominant areas in Business Administration. The authors have developed this document for students and faculty alike, and it aims to support both the learning and teaching requirements of today. It covers the most important methods, tools and approaches and thereby provides a sound introduction to the large field of Organizational Theory. The book focuses on the following questions: 1. What is the purpose of organizing? 2. What are the possible forms of organizational structures? 3. Which approaches for change management exist? 4. Which model should be selected for the situation at hand?
Values and Corporate Responsibility
In this book we capture and explore different aspects of value in corporate social responsibility (CSR). This includes the historical development of value in CSR, how value is linked to a positive vision of the future, and how it is communicated by a range of private and public organisations to various audiences. The book contrasts corporate strategic value with co-operative value, and community value in the context of sustainable development. It explains how leaders’ values can drive responsible business practice and enhance social cohesion, solidarity and resilience in fractured and unequal communities. The book asks the reader to consider what value means in CSR for business and society, where it comes from and how it is enacted, alongside its broader purpose and value to the community. Finally, the book presents CSR as a global project by noting how values are cultural and how sustainability has become an urgent international priority.

Worldwide development of nuclear Energy - Strategic deployment of German Consultancies in the Arabian Market
Considering the annual economical growth rate of more than 5% and the limited availability of fossil resources, GCC countries have few possibilities for attaining independence of fossil fuels. Despite huge investments in renewable resources, these are currently not sufficiently available to cover the pending energy shortfall. The ambitious aim to generate 30% of electricity by nuclear power in 2030 is prompting the governments to start as early as possible with implementation of nuclear power production. This new development in the energy sector covers a broad range of challenges and opportunities not only for Consultancies. Regarding the energy market, the fastest growing economy on the Ara...

Task, Firm Size, and 0rganizational Structure in Management Consulting
Michael Graubner investigates consultancies' organizational structure in terms of structural differentiation, specialization, centralization, and formalization. He analyzes extensive qualitative and quantitative data obtained during a series of personal interviews in consulting firms with offices in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland. The results show that organizational size and to a lesser degree task uncertainty are closely associated with organizational structure.

HOW TO BE A SUCCESSFUL ORGANIZATION? THE CHALLENGES OF CONTEMPORARY NGO
The growing importance of the third sector is connected, among others, with a change in the scope of its operation, including the performance of public tasks or the increase of its market activity. Becoming part of the civic administration and social service providers, non-governmental organisations are facing the challenges of professionalisation and quality management. Many of them are at the crossroads between traditional thinking derived from the principles of social ethics and alternative thinking focused on modern market processes. The authors of the reviewed publication understand this type of dilemma perfectly. On the one hand, they present the state of modern NGOs on the basis of qu...
