Economics of Knowledge
With a farm of pigs as his abacus, Arthur Geisert uses elements of a search and count game to bring Roman numerals to life in this unintimidating math-concept book. First, the seven Roman numerals are equated with the correct number of piglets. Then the reader may practice counting other items—hot-air balloons, gopher holes, and more—as the remarkable adventure unfolds. (And yes, there are one thousand pigs in the etching for M!)
À quoi servent les cadres ?
Après les « Trente Glorieuses », symbole de l’apogée des cadres, « Trente Financières » avec leur cortège de bouleversements managériaux : renforcement des procédures de contrôle, développement des organigrammes plats, priorité donnée au client et à la « réactivité », etc. Autant d’évolutions qui ont largement remis en cause le rôle des cadres : alors qu’ils se percevaient comme les lieutenants du patronat, ils se sentent aujourd’hui noyés dans la grande machine productive. Alors les cadres servent-ils encore à quelque chose ? C’est la question qu’explore ce livre court et accessible, qui s’efforce de repenser leur fonction. En effet, les auteurs le souli...

Reinventing Work in Europe
This book looks at the history of work and the meanings that are attached to it over time. Taking as its basis a number of international surveys and interviews conducted in Europe, the authors consider the significance of work for Europeans today. Over the years the meaning of work has changed. It has become more highly diversified, and it is today invested with high expectations that conflict with organisational developments and the changing nature of the labour market. The authors use a generational perspective to explore whether it is possible to reconcile the contemporary “ethos” of work, especially with regards to women and young people, with organisations that are increasingly under pressure to be profitable and productive. Reinventing Work in Europe will be of interest to scholars and students in the areas of sociology of work, employment and organizations, labour studies, digital economy, and political economy.
Exploring Islam beyond Orientalism and Occidentalism
Islamic religion has become an object of political discourse in ways that also affects academic reflection; against this background this volume aims to provide a theoretically and empirically founded assessment of where social sciences currently stand with regard to Islam. For this purpose, the volume continues to develop the sociological knowledge of Islam that began in the 1980s. Given the Orientalism inherent in sociology, the volume focuses on Muslim knowledge systems and institutions, as well as the practice of Muslim religiosity in various social contexts stretching from Algeria and Morocco to Turkey.
Educational Studies in the Light of the Feminine
From the theory-practice couple, there are various ways to approach educational and training issues. Intervention research, reflexive situated action and innovation are some of them. Through the analysis of the author's various experiences - professional and initial training, support for change, organizational assessment, experiential learning, project management - this book explores questions about social or professional contexts and the subjective training of actors. One of the challenges is to understand and challenge phenomena such as the development of autonomy and subsidiarity in changing academic or academic contexts. The book promotes the emergence of an ethical and resilient subject...
