This third edition of Competing Values Leadership serves as the key
source for understanding and using the Competing Values Framework,
one of the most widely used and highly cited frameworks in the
world for understanding human behavior, leadership, and
organizations. The authors of the framework, who have been at the
foundation of developing, applying, and studying this framework for
more than four decades, explain how it helps foster successful
leadership, innovation, culture change, financial performance,
organizational effectiveness, and value creation. In addition to
explaining why the Competing Values Framework is among the most
important frameworks in the history of business, this edition
addresses some criticisms of the framework and provides empirical
evidence for its validity, reliability, and usefulness. The authors
also provide practical tools and actions that can assist any
organization in improving its performance. This book is widely
applicable to several fields, including financial strategy, culture
change, human resource management, leadership roles, and
organizational change. Both academics and business leaders will
find it to be an illuminating and useful tool and reference. It has
also proven to be a valuable resource in executive education
programs.

A key source for understanding the Competing Values Framework, one
of the most widely used and highly cited frameworks in the world.
This book serves as the key source for understanding the Competing
Values Framework, one of the most widely used and highly cited
frameworks in the world. The authors, who have been at the
foundation of developing, applying and studying this framework for
over three decades, explain how it helps foster successful
leadership, improve organizational effectiveness and promote value
creation. It would be unusual for a framework as powerful and
predictive as the Competing Values Framework to remain unchallenged
and absent of criticism. In addition to updating the examples and
references, this second edition provides a new chapter motivated by
recent criticisms of the framework. In this chapter, the authors
address these concerns and provide empirical evidence of the
continuing effectiveness of the model. This book is widely
applicable to a number of fields, including financial strategy,
culture change, human resource management, leadership roles, and
organizational change. Both academics and business leaders will
find it to be an illuminating and useful reference.
Introduction to Digital Music with Python Programming provides a
foundation in music and code for the beginner. It shows how coding
empowers new forms of creative expression while simplifying and
automating many of the tedious aspects of production and
composition. With the help of online, interactive examples, this
book covers the fundamentals of rhythm, chord structure, and
melodic composition alongside the basics of digital production.
Each new concept is anchored in a real-world musical example that
will have you making beats in a matter of minutes. Music is also a
great way to learn core programming concepts such as loops,
variables, lists, and functions, Introduction to Digital Music with
Python Programming is designed for beginners of all backgrounds,
including high school students, undergraduates, and aspiring
professionals, and requires no previous experience with music or
code.

Metaphor is recognised as an important way of thinking -
constructing analogies and making connections between ideas - and
an important way of using language - to explain abstract ideas or
to find indirect but powerful ways of conveying feelings. By
investigating people's use of metaphors, we can better understand
their emotions, attitudes and conceptualisations, as individuals
and as participants in social life. This book describes practice in
the analysis of metaphor in real-world discourse. When real-world
language use is taken as the site of metaphor study, researchers
face methodological issues that have only recently begun to be
addressed. The contributors to this volume have all had to find
ways to deal with methodological issues in their own research and
have developed techniques that are brought together here. Using as
a basis the discourse dynamics approach to metaphor developed by
the editor, the book explores links between theory and empirical
investigation, exemplifies data analysis and discusses issues in
research design and practice. Particular attention is paid to the
processes of metaphor identification, categorisation and labelling,
and to the use of corpus linguistic and other computer-assisted
methods.

"Diagnosing and Changing Organizational Culture" provides a
framework, a sense-making tool, a set of systematic steps, and a
methodology for helping managers and their organizations carefully
analyze and alter their fundamental culture. Authors, Cameron and
Quinn focus on the methods and mechanisms that are available to
help managers and change agents transform the most fundamental
elements of their organizations. The authors also provide
instruments to help individuals guide the change process at the
most basic level--culture. "Diagnosing and Changing Organizational
Culture" offers a systematic strategy for internal or external
change agents to facilitate foundational change that in turn makes
it possible to support and supplement other kinds of change
initiatives.
The reign of Constantine (306-37), the starting point for the
series in which this volume appears, saw Christianity begin its
journey from being just one of a number of competing cults to being
the official religion of the Roman/Byzantine Empire. The
involvement of emperors had the, perhaps inevitable, result of a
preoccupation with producing, promoting and enforcing a single
agreed version of the Christian creed. Under this pressure
Christianity in the East fragmented into different sects,
disagreeing over the nature of Christ, but also, in some measure,
seeking to resist imperial interference and to elaborate
Christianities more reflective of and sensitive to local concerns
and cultures. This volume presents an introduction to, and a
selection of the key studies on, the ways in which and means by
which these Eastern Christianities debated with one another and
with their competitors: pagans, Jews, Muslims and Latin Christians.
It also includes the iconoclast controversy, which divided parts of
the East Christian world in the seventh to ninth centuries, and
devotes space both to the methodological tools that evolved in the
process of debate and the promulgation of doctrine, and to the
literary genres through which the debates were expressed.
