Skillful management is essential to the functioning of any
organization. But what are the fundamental elements of a manager's
work? What tools and techniques can managers employ to achieve
their goals? At a time when organizations must work across sectors,
between farther physical distances, and while interweaving
sustainability and equity, what do managers need to know about the
changing nature of work and leadership? This book is a succinct
handbook of the essentials of management for current and future
practitioners. Leadership experts Steven Cohen and William Eimicke
concisely explain management best practices, aiming to equip
managers with the tools of the trade and prepare them to tackle
decision making. They detail three core areas of practice:
operations, opportunities, and organization and society,
underscoring how ethical and strategic guidance and behaviors are
essential to sustainable success. The book delves into the
leadership role of managers, financial management skills,
performance management essentials, organizational structure and
human resources management, strategic planning, sustainability,
contract management, private-public partnerships, public engagement
and advertisement, organizational ethics, and the future of
technology for management professionals. Designed for new managers
as a roadmap and for experienced managers as a reference, this book
offers an indispensable guide to the fundamental components of
management across public, private, and social-sector organizations.
Social Value Investing presents a new way to approach some of
society's most difficult and intractable challenges. Although many
of our world's problems may seem too great and too complex to solve
- inequality, climate change, affordable housing, corruption,
healthcare, food insecurity - solutions to these challenges do
exist, and will be found through new partnerships bringing together
leaders from the public, private, and philanthropic sectors. In
their new book, Howard W. Buffett and William B. Eimicke present a
five-point management framework for developing and measuring the
success of such partnerships. Inspired by value investing - one of
history's most successful investment paradigms - this framework
provides tools to maximize collaborative efficiency and positive
social impact, so that major public programs can deliver
innovative, inclusive, and long-lasting solutions. It also offers
practical insights for any private sector CEO, public sector
administrator, or nonprofit manager hoping to build successful
cross-sector collaborations. Social Value Investing tells the
compelling stories of cross-sector partnerships from around the
world - Central Park and the High Line in New York City,
community-led economic development in Afghanistan, and improved
public services in cities across Brazil. Drawing on lessons and
observations from a broad selections of collaborations, this book
combines real life stories with detailed analysis, resulting in a
blueprint for effective, sustainable partnerships that serve the
public interest. Readers also gain access to original, academic
case material and professionally produced video documentaries for
every major partnerships profiled - bringing to life the people and
stories in a way that few other business or management books have
done.
Will the COVID-19 pandemic be remembered as a turning point in how
universities deliver teaching and learning? How might the
widespread use of digital tools change higher education? This
groundbreaking book explores the role of digital education at this
crucial crossroads. Built on interviews with more than fifty
leading practitioners from major universities and ed-tech firms,
Leveling the Learning Curve is an indispensable guide to the inner
workings of digital education. Written for university managers and
leaders, it explores how new tools can allow universities to reach
new audiences and address long-standing imbalances. The authors
examine challenges to implementing digital education programs and
provide insight into how universities have managed to balance the
needs of faculty and on- and off-campus students. The book traces
the history of digital education initiatives from Khan Academy, TED
Talks, and MOOCs through the pandemic, examining both successes and
failures. It offers compelling examples of what a “connected
university” looks like in practice, sharing ways digital tools
can bring in wider audiences, expand interdisciplinary teaching and
learning, connect students to real-life issues, help meet equity
goals, and open new revenue streams. Designed as both a manual and
an in-depth study, Leveling the Learning Curve is required reading
for educational leaders looking to navigate the complex waters of
postpandemic digital education.

Innovation provides five in-depth studies on the 'state' of
innovation in government today. Jonathan Walters analyzes what he
has learned from studying winners of the Ford Foundation/Kennedy
School Innovations in Government awards program. Sandford Borins
examines the five building blocks of innovation. Janet Vinzant
Denhardt and Robert Denhardt tell us how Phoenix created a culture
of innovation within city government. William Eimicke studied San
Diego County, California to find out how innovative programs can be
implemented in a large county government. Scott Tarry presents five
case studies of metropolitan airport authorities and how they
attempted to foster innovation. From these case studies, Mark A.
Abramson and Ian D. Littman discuss what we know about innovation
and what we have learned about fostering, implementing, and
replicating it. They also discuss the relationship between the
innovator and innovation.
