Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -In Games Without Thrones, entrepreneurship professor David Lingelbach and oligarch researcher Valentina Rodríguez Guerra show how we can all learn from oligarchs, even if we don't like them. These masters of uncertainty have found their moment again in the early 21st century, when several existential threats have overturned our ability to predict the future. Paradoxically, oligarchs hold the intellectual keys that will enable the rest of us to exploit the coming storms. This book describes these keys as eightleadership lessons that can become a new playbook, enabling all of us to play and win the newgames without thrones.This book makes three major points:- Oligarchs are at the center of our worlds now, shaping the global economy in which we allwork and the politics that help determine our life choices. Understanding their centrality iskey to understanding how the world works.- Oligarchs provide us with eight lessons to enable us to be more effective leaders. The firstthree lessons comprise their distinctive Weltanschauung or worldview. They see the worldvery differently than the rest of us.- Oligarchs offer us five specific strategies-four of which were first elaborated in our TheOligarchs' Grip and developed further in our forthcoming The Oligarchs of the Americas-tolead during times of crisis and turbulence.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -In current multimodality research, there is a methodological and analytic gap between the complexity of the materials targeted and the constructs applied. This gap makes it difficult for analyses to scale beyond single case studies. Support for larger-scale empirical, corpus-based work is often compromised and, when scaling does occur, it is at the cost of the breadth of multimodal phenomena covered. In this book we present the latest revision of our multimodal semiotic approach to advanced multimodality research which directly addresses these problems, providing extended theoretical constructs with solid foundations, staged methodological instructions for applying those constructs in practical analysis, and a specially selected set of hands-on illustrations of the account at work in diverse media and communicative situations. The framework clearly sets out methods and examples of how to conduct multimodality research regardless of the materials involved and always with a view to increasing scale to provide stronger empirical foundations. The selected analyses illustrate the application of the latest multimodality methodologies, complex data (across domains), analytical tools, and results from different phases of research. 434 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - The post-ethnological museum no longer regards ethnological collections as archives of 'foreign cultures', but as dynamic repositories of knowledge on global relationships. It critically examines their origins and provides new forms of interpretation, cooperation, and authorship. Central to this approach is the dialogue with contemporary art: artistic practices create new ways of engaging with the collections, challenge established meanings, and link them to current social and ecological discourses. The museum sees itself as a translator between different knowledge systems and provides a space in which the past, present, and possible futures are negotiated. The volume brings together artistic and research-based positions that link historical collections with current ecological issues. Invites readers to explore new forms of relationship between humans and the wider world, moving beyond an anthropocentric perspective ; The post-ethnological museum no longer regards ethnological collections as archives of 'foreign cultures', but as dynamic repositories of knowledge on global relationships.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - This is the first full-text English translation of a seminal book within the phenomenological movement. The work was orginally published in 1922 in Edmund Husserl's yearbook Jahrbuch für Philosophie und phänomenologische Forschung, and has had a wide impact on work in phenomenology (Husserl, Heidegger, Stein) and social ontology. Gerda Walther broaches the topic of social ontology, i.e., a study of social communities. She carries out this task by using the phenomenological method, that is, a study of the first-person (both singular and plural) experience of being a part of a community, what it feels like internally (and its constitutive elements), how it relates to other individuals or other communities, and how unifications between individiuals and communities or between communities take place. The book is an important contribution to the phenomenology of intersubjectivity or the study of social ontology. Social ontology has been an important and fruitful field of research in contemporary social theory, cognitive science, and other disciplines. It will be a crucial contribution to current research.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Traditional customer journey maps miss the truth of human experience - the emotions, influences, and sudden shifts that shape how people engage with brands. CX is not about controlling the journey. It's about learning to travel with your customers through every twist, loop, and leap. Unmapping Customer Journeys introduces the 4L Framework, a revolutionary approach to understanding how customers actually move through experiences shaped by emotions, AI, neuroscience, and offstage triggers. This practical guide reveals four critical dimensions: Layers (emotional and contextual depths), Lanes (parallel paths of influence), Loops (cyclical validation behaviors), and Liminals (threshold moments of transformation). Through vivid metaphors, templates, exercises, and case studies spanning banking to SaaS, the book teaches you to map choremotion (the rhythm of feelings and actions), detect driftprints (invisible behavioral imprints), and integrate AI for adaptive, empathy-driven designs. It explores the neural drivers of choice, how AI compresses decision-making, and the complete framework for moving your organization from linear to multidimensional customer understanding. Unmapping Customer Journeys equips organizations to build human-centered journeys that grow with changing behaviors by empowering CX leaders to design adaptive systems that thrive on empathy and the depth of human complexity.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Reclaiming Liberal Democracy in the Postfactual Age is a systematic exploration of the many ways in which post-truth politics constitutes a fundamental challenge and, indeed, an existential threat to liberal democracy as we know it.The book addresses this existential threat by exploring the dynamic interplay of the various phenomena that constitute the post-truth condition, while also exploring possible responses aimed at reclaiming liberal democracy. The book's guiding assumption is that post-truth politics must be conceptualized as the ideal-typical endpoint of ongoing developments of liberal-democratic political culture. These developments are intimately connected to the ongoing transformation of the information environment, brought about by social/digital media and the recent rise of artificial intelligence. But they are also connected to the resurgence of populism and decreasing trust in once-trusted sources of information, in particular mainstream quality journalism, exacerbated by targeted disinformation campaigns at the hands of foreign powers.…

Jewish and politically 'undesirable' teachers and students had been expelled, and countless promising careers had come to an abrupt end.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - In this timely book, Eamonn Molloy examines how organisations are being transformed by AI, automation, blockchain, and the Internet of Things. As these technologies advance, companies are beginning to operate with significantly reduced direct human intervention in core processes and decision making, moving toward more autonomous, self-driving ways of working. Molloy introduces the Spectrum of Organisational Autonomy (SOA), a six-level framework that explains how organisations evolve from human-led enterprises to largely autonomous systems. He shows what this shift looks like in practice, exploring how core functions such as strategy, decision making, HR, finance, and operations change as autonomy increases. The book also explores what this transformation means for people. Molloy argues for 'progressive autonomy,' a model in which humans and machines work together. He addresses the legal, ethical, and security challenges of autonomous systems, including issues of bias and accountability, and offers a practical, phased playbook to help leaders guide this transition responsibly. Clear, accessible, and forward-looking, this book is for leaders, technologists, policymakers, and anyone interested in how organisations will operate and be led in an increasingly autonomous world.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -During the last decades of the 19th century, women used the camera, still a new technological apparatus, to establish independent lives as professional photographers. Women photographers had a particularly strong position in the Nordic countries, where photography became a tool with which to attain personal, economic, and political independence. Many hired only women assistants and remained unmarried, and some lived in lifelong relationships with women partners. Moreover, these women pioneers belonged to a generation which, for the first time, had the power to define their own visual representation as well as that of other women. Through a wide range of stories about individual photographers, this book presents a counter-history to existing histories of photography, demonstrating the medium's liberating potential for women for the first time. Counter-narratives of women's independence in photographic histories Bringing to light previously unknown Nordic women photographers With contributions from leading scholars in photography studies from Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Finland and Iceland; Gegen Ende des 19. Jahrhunderts setzten Frauen die Kamera, damals noch ein neuer technischer Apparat, ein, um ein unabhängiges Leben als professionelle Fotografinnen zu führen. In nördlichen Ländern hatten Fotografinnen eine besonders starke Position, da sich mit Hilfe der Fotografie persönliche, wirtschaftliche und politische Unabhängigkeit erzielen ließ. Viele von ihnen stellten nur weibliche Assistenten an und blieben unverheiratet; einige lebten in lebenslangen Beziehungen mit Frauen. Diese Pionierinnen gehörten einer Generation an, die erstmals die Macht hatte, ihre eigene visuelle Darstellung, sowie die anderer Frauen, zu definieren. Durch ein breites Spektrum an Fallstudien bietet diese Publikation eine Gegengeschichte zu bestehenden Historien von Fotografie, und zeigt erstmals das befreiende Potenzial des Mediums für Frauen auf.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Employee engagement is in crisis. Recent research shows that only a fraction of employees are engaged and feel genuinely connected to their work, while high levels of disengagement quietly drain productivity, innovation, and morale. Empowering Employee Engagement confronts this problem head-on, revealing that engagement isn't a perk or a program-it's a shared responsibility. This book explores the concept and measurement of the multidimensional nature of engagement-shaped by the company, leaders, teams, individual work, and customers. Drawing on global research and real-world examples, it shows how culture, trust, purpose, and growth opportunities intersect to determine whether employees thrive or withdraw.Most importantly, the book redefines engagement as an individual choice, a team effort, and a leadership responsibility. Leaders must build conditions of mutual respect, recognition, and empowerment where people and teams want-and choose-to be engaged. Yet every employee also holds the key to their own engagement, choosing to bring passion, accountability, collaboration, and transformation to their work.In a world of remote and hybrid work, quiet quitting, and AI-driven change, Empowering Employee Engagement offers a practical roadmap for individuals, leaders, and teams to reignite commitment, rebuild trust, and create workplaces globally where people choose to care-and perform-at their best for themselves, their company, and their customers.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Ancient physicians and philosophers explored how different temporal patterns interacted and overlapped. They were deeply concerned with the meaning of simultaneous events-those moments when natural, bodily, or social processes coincided in ways they considered significant. While Greek and Latin authors had no direct equivalents for what we now call 'synchronicity' or 'synchronization', both ideas permeate their reflections on health and the cosmos. This volume adopts these modern terms as a framework for examining how Greco-Roman thinkers conceptualized meaningful coincidence and the effort to align temporal cycles-between body and environment, illness and therapy, or individual and world. Spanning medicine, philosophy, astrology, and meteorology from the fifth century BCE to the sixth CE, the chapters reveal how ancient conceptions of bodily time and cosmic rhythm shaped understandings of health, gender, and disease. By tracing these interconnections, the volume opens new perspectives for scholars of ancient science, philosophy, and culture about the roles of synchrony and asynchrony in understanding and intervening in bodily processes.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Seit geraumer Zeit befindet sich das Gebiet der Wahrscheinlichkeitstheorie in einem Zustand der Lagertrennung. Während in den empirischen Wissenschaften fast ausschließlich von statistischer Wahrscheinlichkeit die Rede ist, verstehen in der Philosophie einflussreiche Bayesianer Wahrscheinlichkeit durchweg im subjektiven Sinn rationaler Glaubensgrade, wogegen die dritte Gruppe der mathematischen Wahrscheinlichkeitstheoretiker diesen Interpretationskonflikt ignoriert. In diesem Buch wird die Auffassung vertreten, dass man beide Wahrscheinlichkeitsbegriffe benötigt, weshalb ein dualer Ansatz entwickelt wird, dem es darum geht, Brückenprinzipien zwischen beiden Wahrscheinlichkeitsbegriffen herauszuarbeiten. In Anlehnung an einen bekannten Passus von Kant lässt sich die duale Position so formulieren: Subjektive ohne statistische Wahrscheinlichkeit ist blind, statistische ohne subjektive Wahrscheinlichkeit ist leer. Die duale Position bedeutet jedoch nicht, dass alles, was in beiden Positionen behauptet wurde, übernommen werden kann - dies würde zu Widersprüchen führen. In beiden Positionen müssen gewisse Anteile fallen gelassen werden, um zu einer kohärenten dualen Wahrscheinlichkeitstheorie zu gelangen. 220 pp. Deutsch.…
