The reflection on university management is based on the question
about the shape of universities of the future. Civic, responsible,
sustainable, virtual, digital and many other universities can be
mentioned among concepts present in the literature. All these names
describe an important distinctive feature of a university, which
will gain more and more importance in the future. However, given
the fundamental importance of the radical change taking place, it
seems that the most appropriate name, reflecting the essence of the
emerging new formation, is 'digital university.' This is because of
the importance of digital transformation, which has been developing
for several decades, bringing deep and multidirectional changes in
the areas of technology, economy, society and culture. It is a
disruptive civilizational transition and, although stretched over
many decades, it is revolutionary in nature, significantly changing
our lives in the Anthropocene. The book has three cognitive and
pragmatic objectives: to provide a new perspective on the changing
academic organization and management; to reflect on higher
education management concepts and methods; and to present an
overview of university management, governance and leadership,
useful from the perspective of academic managers, and other
stakeholders.
Significant disruption to the educational sector occurred due to
the COVID-19 pandemic. This shed a light on the need for new
delivery methods and greater collaboration, which has become urgent
and obvious as existing structures and traditional channels have
struggled to cope or shut down. Higher education institutions often
fail to crowdsource successfully because crowds differ in how they
are organized compared to traditional sourcing. Instead of
managing, higher education institutions work with external
contributors who self-select into the process. Crowdsourcing has
significant potential to transform the education space by enhancing
existing methodologies and offering innovative possibilities to
develop new pedagogical techniques. This offers benefits for
practitioners, institutions, students and participants. Drawing on
theory and best practice, illustrated with a wide range of the
examples and cases, Crowdsourcing for Innovation in Higher
Education offers invaluable guidance and will be of interest to
researchers, academics, policymakers, and students in the fields of
higher education, development studies, organizational studies,
management science and knowledge management.
This volume of Advanced Series in Management offers cutting-edge
research into international migration in Europe. Living and working
in a host country is challenging both for the host country (for its
institutions, organizations and local people) as well as for the
incoming migrants. Therefore, integration activities are essential
for easing the transition. The purpose of this book is to examine
various practices of integrating migrants in European countries
from national, organizational and individual perspectives. This
publication will be valuable to researchers in the field, as well
as for entrepreneurs, international corporations employing from
abroad, trainers preparing employees to work in multicultural
teams, as well as for investors who plan to expand their business
into foreign markets.
This volume explores the work environment in multinational
corporations. To do so, it integrates studies on the organizational
sciences, cross-cultural management, positive psychology and
sociology within a single comprehensive framework. Twenty-two
authors from six countries identify the challenges in multicultural
workplaces, the positives of interactions, cultural clashes and
their organizational preconditions. They add inter-organizational,
institutional and critical perspectives to the analysis within the
framework of multinationals and complex, hybrid cultural
environments. The book addresses the needs of researchers in the
areas of intercultural management, and those of practitioners in
international human resource management.

This book presents the perspectives of different Polish authors on
challenges in science and practice of management. The authors
compare and discuss change models and strategies enabling
organizations to anticipate change or respond to it. This book is
intended for managers in modern enterprises as a resource of
up-to-date knowledge and practical solutions supporting management
functions.
This book will help managers understand organizations in
non-quantitative manner. The modern-day managers are challenged
with dealing with these constantly increasing complexities in the
pursuit of efficiency and effectiveness. They must understand how
constant changes influence their tasks so they can contribute to
establishing a fast-reacting organization. The authors analyze how
metaphors can serve as methods or tools that provide insight into
how organizations function, and how best to deal with making them
successful in a state of permanent change.
Tax management and tax evasion represent an intrinsic element of
economic turnover, an area of interest both to the institutional
and to the real spheres of national economy. These problems, beyond
any doubt, should become the focus of interest for all states
having a common market, e.g. the European Union, or the countries
which have not introduced the universally binding and which are
highly susceptible to abuses in VAT tax - such as the United
States. With this in mind, the authors of this volume outline the
issues of managing taxes and tax evasion, with a focus on the
European Union in general and Poland in particular. The choice did
not come by accident, since the latter was the only EU member state
which in the waning years of the still continuing economic crisis
never fell into negative economic growth.
The epistemological and methodological issues within management
sciences constitute a difficult area for theoretical reflection.
The main goal of this book is to deepen epistemological and
methodological reflection concerned with the foundations of
organization and management in order to broaden the methodological
awareness of researchers from the field of management sciences.
This book does not describe paradigm change; it points out possible
evolutional directions for management reflection. The key matter is
to convince of the uncertainty and of the contextual nature of the
knowledge obtained through management.
The aim of this book is to outline the neoevolutionary paradigm
emerging in the social sciences and indicate possibilities for its
application in the management sciences. This monograph has an
interdisciplinary nature and refers to a theory that has been
formed on the basis of various social and natural disciplines,
including management, psychology, sociology, anthropology, biology,
epistemology and cognitivism. The work is targeted at researchers
who specialise in management and other social sciences, and for
whom the neoevolutionary paradigm can be a valuable point of
reference. This book presents the application of evolutionary
issues to the social sciences, and especially to the analysis of
issues related to the management sciences. The presented framework
of paradigm, methodology and research issues, leads to a proposal
to distinguish a new research field called 'evolutionary
management'. The issues of evolutionary management would be by
definition interdisciplinary; a combination of organising and
management with evolutionary psychology and behavioural economics.
The paradigm of evolutionary management would be coherent with the
neoevolutionary conception of the description of human behaviour.
This requires assumption of numerous postulates related to basing
the management sciences on the basic evolutionary theories of human
behaviour.
This monograph focuses on reflective exploration of the
contemporary approach to management and organizational humanism,
and its dilemmas, mainly in Poland but referred to the
international works devoted to management science. An increased
mindfulness in the life of the man of the 21st century, postulated
in social sciences, cannot be omitted in management processes. Its
role therein is not only to solve problems, but to lead to
conscious examination of the nature and substance of phenomena, to
deepened considerations of the conditions and consequences of the
preached ideas, the opinions expressed, and the actions taken.
These issues are among those poorly recognized in the world
literature, and this monograph attempts to address them to some
extent.
