New Organizational Forms, Controls, and Institutions - Understanding the Tensions in 'Post-Bureaucratic'... New Organizational Forms, Controls, and Institutions - Understanding the Tensions in 'Post-Bureaucratic' Organizations (Hardcover, 1st ed. 2017)
Maria Carmela Annosi, Federica Brunetta
R4,592 Discovery Miles 45 920 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

This book highlights the growing number of 'post-bureaucratic' firms that are abandoning hierarchical organizational forms in favor of self-managing teams. Addressing the need to outperform, these new organization types foresee the benefits of an organic structure with new and more indirect forms of control, and aim to coordinate the activities of highly-skilled workers without relying on a bureaucratic superstructure. The chapters explore the tensions that exist between external and internal institutional forces. As new forms of control strategies emerge, mostly value-based, this book accounts for the cognitive categories, conventions, rules and logic that should be integrated and combined with traditional forms of managerial controls in order to enable co-existence with established bureaucratic frameworks. This book will be of interest to academics in the fields of organizational behavior and innovation management, and also practitioners and managers aiming to shift from a traditional hierarchical structure to post-bureaucratic forms.

Foresight and Innovation - How Companies are Coping with the Future (Hardcover): E. Hiltunen Foresight and Innovation - How Companies are Coping with the Future (Hardcover)
E. Hiltunen
R4,281 Discovery Miles 42 810 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Foresight and Innovation: How are Companies Coping with the Future? is a concise guide for readers that are interested in their personal or their organization's future. Written by Finnish futurist Elina Hiltunen, the book introduces various ideas in relation to how organizations could be better prepared for the future. It tackles the idea that you should be humble when facing the future, but not subservient. In practice, this means that we should anticipate various futures (or scenarios) and be prepared for them, at least mentally. On the other hand we - as individuals and organizations - are in a key position to ensure a better future for us all. This is achieved by innovating and communicating the future. The book consists of numerous examples of how various organizations are coping with the future and gives the reader practical tools as to how to work with the future.

R3,020 Discovery Miles 30 200 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

Large infrastructure projects generally involve multiple stakeholders such as government parties, local communities, and private organizations. New projects can create tensions between different stakeholder groups because different groups naturally have different interests and opinions. This book offers a view of how stakeholders are able to influence the project management's decision-making process as the project proceeds from the investment preparation phase, to the project execution phase, and on to the operations phase through various methods such as protests, legal battles, and even illegal activities. This book provides multiple case studies in aviation industry reflecting how large projects create dynamic contexts for stakeholder management and stakeholder behaviour as the project moves through different phases of its lifecycle.

Over the past decade, the role of the research administrator has emerged as a senior-level executive position at most universities and other organizations that accept federal funds. These senior staff members perform various functions relative to research administration and support, often with little or no formal preparation or training. The goal of this handbook is to provide practical guidance to research administrators as they navigate the multi-faceted work of their professional role. Research administrators are responsible for implementation of increasingly complex regulations and for oversight of institutional responsibilities, activities broadly termed research compliance. These activities include compliance with terms and conditions of awards, compliance with regulations that specifically apply to institutions when accepting federal funds for research, and compliance with regulations that are relevant to research practice (whether funded or unfunded). Previous volumes on these topics have focused primarily on educating research faculty, staff, and students. An assumption in many of these volumes is that all additional questions related to research ethics and regulations should be directed to the senior research administrator; there is little guidance, however, intended for the senior research administrators themselves. Thus, this handbook is intended to serve as a detailed reference manual for senior research administrators who are increasingly expected to be conversant on a wide variety of complex ethical and regulatory topics and to provide guidance to upper administration, as well as faculty, staff, and students.

Collaboration and Co-creation - New Platforms for Marketing and Innovation (Hardcover, Edition.): Gaurav Bhalla Collaboration and Co-creation - New Platforms for Marketing and Innovation (Hardcover, Edition.)
Gaurav Bhalla
R2,091 Discovery Miles 20 910 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Today's consumers are more knowledgeable, networked, and vocal. For them consumption is not merely an act of buying products and services, but an expression of their creative potential. Consequently, they are demanding a say and a voice in how companies conceive, develop, and deliver value to them. It is not surprising, therefore, to hear that a large number of companies are transforming how they innovate-not only in terms of developing new products and services, but in how they are created, delivered, and supported to customers. Open Innovation thinking, where companies collaborate with suppliers, distributors, and customers to co-create unique value, is fast replacing traditional thinking that viewed innovation as a proprietary activity and marketing as a static, one-way broadcast. However, while there is significant advocacy and buy-in for collaborating with customers, there is little guidance for companies on how to undertake the journey from applause and appreciation to execution. Only reading about others' success stories - Nike, Hallmark, P&G, Mozilla, etc. - is not sufficient for helping a company develop a blueprint for themselves. In Customer Driven Innovation, strategy and branding consultant Gaurav Bhalla presents a concrete framework to help companies systematically and effectively design and implement collaborative innovation programs with their customers that can be applied in both business-to-business and business-to-consumer contexts. The authors describe how today's technologies allow companies to create dynamic dialogues with their customers through shared networks, virtual marketing techniques, and blogs to develop deeper relationships that reinforce brand loyalty and ultimately drive growth. They challenge traditional approaches to market research that measure "customer satisfaction" from a rear-window perspective, and help companies and their customers look forward instead.P>

R5,190 Discovery Miles 51 900 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

The purpose of this ground-breaking book is to inspire the principle of innovation as a permeating program for Europe's societies. After demonstrating early success from the realization of a single market and single currency, the European cooperation process is falling short of delivering much needed results in policy areas which are key for sustainable economic growth and employment, notably innovation policy. Written by authors involved in an independent tripartite High Level Group on EU innovation policy management, Revolutionising EU Innovation Policy analyses the principle causes and offers solutions in order to increase both efficacy and democratic accountability. Presenting the benefits of an overarching innovation policy, the authors draw attention to issues that have been overlooked by research and technology based approaches to innovation, for example culture and education. Importantly, the book examines the interplay between EU innovation policies and the demands of businesses, enterprises, and social and political organizations to fully deploy their innovation potential.

Presenteeism - The Invisible Cost to Organizations (Hardcover): H. Quazi Presenteeism - The Invisible Cost to Organizations (Hardcover)
H. Quazi
R3,527 Discovery Miles 35 270 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Sickness absenteeism is a widely researched workplace health problem that has long been seen as a cost to employers. However, recent literature indicates that the counterpart of absenteeism - termed as 'presenteeism' which refers to the practice of coming to work despite health complications, such as illness, injury or anxiety - often results in reduced productivity. Although presenteeism is much more costly compared to absenteeism, it is not yet common practice in organizations to measure the costs and use it as one of the Key Performance Indicators (KPIs).
The author presents the important issues related to the nature and extent of presenteeism and cites examples from different studies. The book discusses in depth why employees come to work despite being sick, strategies to manage presenteeism behavior and who should be taking the lead in managing such employee behavior. In addition, the author also includes three studies conducted in Singapore on the different aspects of presenteeism. The book offers a chapter on how to measure the cost of presenteeism to aid readers in measuring the cost of presenteeism in their own respective organizations.

Lynda Byrd-Poller, Jennifer L. Farmer, Valerie Ford
R6,084 Discovery Miles 60 840 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

Organizational trauma theory endeavors to examine the psychological and physical effects of trauma on individuals and groups within an organization. Individual trauma, the individual mental and emotional disruptions that affect the well-being of self, often contributes to organizational trauma. Or sometimes, the disruptions are external and caused by societal, economic, or political changes. Recent traumatic events such as the COVID-19 pandemic and racial tensions stemming from social injustices present even greater challenges for organizations as leaders seek to facilitate healing, restoration, and renewal. Organizational trauma is currently playing out in our organizations, and organizational scholars, leaders, and managers are looking for ways to mitigate this trauma without having explicit knowledge or understanding of how to deal with it. Despite the increasing need to better understand organizational trauma and how to address it, this body of research has not played a prominent role in mainstream organization and management theory. Role of Leadership in Facilitating Healing and Renewal in Times of Organizational Trauma and Change examines the importance of dealing with trauma in organizations and related topics of interest. The chapters highlight global perspectives and present new and significant information and observations about organizational trauma and offer insights derived from a solidly and sufficiently broad knowledge base of theory, research, and practice. This book will also grant a basis of understanding trauma, its antecedents and outcomes, as well as how it can be mitigated and will provide information and insights regarding organizational trauma and how it interacts with and influences other organizational phenomena. This book is ideally intended for managers, human resources officers, academicians, practitioners, executives, professionals, researchers, and students interested in examining the ways in which organizational trauma is impacting the workplace.
