A Handbook of Business Transformation Management Methodology
This book provides an integrative Business Transformation Management Methodology, the BTM2, with an emphasis on the balance between the rational aspects of transformation and the often underestimated emotional readiness of employees to absorb and accept transformation initiatives. Comprising four phases - Envision, Engage, Transform, and Optimize - the methodology integrates expertise from areas such as strategy, risk, and project management. Covering the formal and informal structures and roles needed for a successful transformation, the authors cover a wide range of theory to help understand the phenomenon of transformation. A '360-degree' view on what business transformation means and how to manage it successfully, this handbook is suitable for business executives dealing with organizational change. A range of illustrative case studies ensure this is also a valuable resource for academics interested in change and transformation management.

Towards a Strategic Blend in Education: A review of the blended learning literature.
How might schools harness technological innovation for classroom effects? In this book the authors seek to answer this question by introducing and investigating the concept of Blended Learning through a review of current research literature. In this book, the authors consolidate the current state of Blended Learning research, by defining what is meant by Blended Learning before discussing specific technologies used in Blended Learning, the professional development required of teachers and how to implement whole of school Blended Learning regimes in schools. The book includes descriptions of popular Blended Learning models with real-world examples of their implementation, addressing both student and teacher perspectives. This book will serve as a guide to hastening the progress of Blended Learning towards the improvement of student outcomes in a world of continuous technological innovation and social change.
Leveraging Wikipedia
The vision statement of the Wikimedia Foundation states, “Imagine a world in which every single human being can freely share in the sum of all knowledge.” Libraries need not see Wikipedia as competition; rather, failing to leverage its omnipresence in the online world constitutes a missed opportunity. As a senior program officer at OCLC, Proffitt has encouraged collaboration between Wikipedia and cultural heritage institutions, leading to increased visibility and user engagement at participating organizations. Here, she brings onboard a raft of contributors from the worlds of academia, archives, libraries, and members of the volunteer Wikipedia community who together point towards connec...
The Digital Popular in India
This book will look at digital popular cultures in the post-millennial Indian context and trace patterns of consumption and forms of agency that it engenders thus offering an interpretative analysis of digital content on different platforms. The book consists of three sections. The first section centres around novel practices such as transnational consumption of digital popular content. The second section deals with influencer marketing and the ways in which mediated personalities get transformed. The third section includes textual analysis of OTT and other digital content in order to understand its effects on refashioning social identities such as class caste and gender.
Postphenomenology and Technologies within Educational Settings
Technologies such as tablets, plagiarism software, and learning videos are now an important part of teaching and learning around the world. The underlying human-technology relations that shape modern educational settings have a decisive influence on what education is and will be in the future. This volume applies the analytical tools of postphenomenology to the context of education. In three sections, the contributors present empirical evidence on the use of technology in schools, show conceptual convergences with current theories relevant to education and training, and challenge and reframe the technologically situated subject as the goal of education in relation to technology. This collection, edited by Markus Bohlmann and Patrizia Breil, opens up the research field of postphenomenology to the broad field of educational technologies. Postphenomenology and Technologies Within Educational Settings extends the scope of the philosophy of technology and further expands its repertoire of theories and analytical tools.
Vergessene Ungleichheiten
Nach 1989 kam es an ostdeutschen Hochschulen zu einer Systemtransformation und Anpassung an die westdeutsche Hochschullandschaft. Neben personellen Erneuerungen gab es auch strukturelle Veränderungen der Bildungsziele sowie einen Wandel der Aufstiegskriterien und -möglichkeiten. In ihren autobiographischen Texten zeichnen Professor*innen aus der ehemaligen DDR und Ostdeutschland diesen Umbruch nach. Dabei wird deutlich, wie sich die »Ungleichheitsregime« veränderten, die nicht nur mit Diskriminierungen einhergehen, sondern auch mit der Konstruktion bestimmter Idealtypen von Wissenschaftskarrieren.
Berufsbezug und Wissenschaftsorientierung
Die Weiterbildung ist seit 1998 eine Kernaufgabe der Hochschulen. Im Kontext der bildungspolitischen und wissenschaftlichen Diskurse um lebenslanges Lernen, die Erhöhung der Durchlässigkeit zwischen Berufs- und Hochschulbildung und, damit zusammenhängend, die (weitere) Öffnung der Hochschulen für Berufserfahrene und Berufstätige nimmt die berufsbezogene Weiterbildung an Hochschulen eine Schlüsselrolle ein. Mit der zunehmenden Bedeutung der Hochschulweiterbildung und der stärkeren Orientierung an potenziellen Bildungsadressaten, die bereits im Berufsleben stehen, stellen sich für Hochschulen neue didaktische Herausforderungen. Die Autorin untersucht die Frage, inwiefern die Verzahnun...
