Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -In the management discourse few words are thrown about more carelessly than organizational culture . While the term is usually defined too broadly including such phenomena as assumptions, values, traditions, articles of faith, myths and artifacts this book applies a far more narrow concept. Organizational culture, or the informal structure of an organization, is a term used to describe the behavioral expectations in an organization that have not been decided on in a formal way but that evolved by means of repetition and imitation. This book shows how this narrow definition makes it possible to more precisely observe and understand an organization s culture and its changes. Management s only way for influencing organizational culture and this may sound paradoxical at first is to change the organization s formal structure as for example its incentive schemes, goal-setting processes, strategic directions or hierarchy. 72 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -'The killing of individuals must be accepted.'Federal Chancellor Helmut Schmidt, Bonn, in a telephone conversation with Minister of State Hans-Jürgen Wischnewski, Dubai, October 1977The year of terror in 1977, which included the kidnapping of German industrial leader Hanns Martin Schleyer and later the hijacking of the Lufthansa plane 'Landshut' with 86 passengers and five crew members on board, presented the Federal Republic of Germany with its greatest test to date. Federal Chancellor Helmut Schmidt had to engage in crisis management like no other incumbent before him. Hanns Martin Schleyer was ultimately murdered by his abductors, also the Captain of the 'Landshut' Jürgen Schumann. The other 'Landshut' hostages were freed by members of Border Guard Force 9 under Commander Ulrich Wegener.In this book, political scientist and historian Martin Rupps, who was responsible for bringing the 'Landshut' wreckage back to Germany from Brazil, retells the story of these fateful weeks, drawing on a range of previously unpublished sources to do so. For the first time, he shares deep insights into the thoughts and actions of Chancellor Helmut Schmidt and the members of the core and extended crisis teams. Contrary to the official narrative, Schmidt has never practiced more political cooperation than in these weeks. Further, in the hijacked 'Landshut' itself, events unfolded differently than previously reported. 'Man is the wolf of man', as philosopher Thomas Hobbes famously wrote. 296 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -This open access book examines how TV professionals in Germany have negotiated 'quality TV drama' from 2015 to the present. As practitioners have adapted quality TV - a term most strongly associated with US series - to their own national context, they have simultaneously dealt with shifts in screenwriting and storytelling as well as with broader transformations of the local television industry. As in other European countries, in Germany this has included a crucial upheaval: the emergence of various streaming services, which has multiplied the television market. As a systematic study of this changing fiction industry, Television Drama from Germany will be of great interest to both academics and practitioners working both within and outside the German-language television market.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - This book provides a new approach to traces, which are viewed as linear continuous functionals on some function space. A key role in the analysis is played by integrals related to finitely additive measures, which have not previously been considered in the literature. This leads to Gauss-Green formulas on arbitrary Borel sets for vector fields having divergence measure as well as for Sobolev and BV functions. The integrals used do not require trace functions or normal fields on the boundary and they can deal with inner boundaries. For the treatment of apparently intractable degenerate cases a second boundary integral is used. The calculus developed here also allows integral representations for the precise representative of an integrable function and for the usual boundary trace of Sobolev or BV functions. The theory presented gives a new perspective on traces for beginners as well as experts interested in partial differential equations. The integral calculus might also be a stimulating tool for geometric measure theory.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -This open access book explores the acculturation, identity development, and cultural reconnection of newer-generation (1.5- and second-generation) Korean New Zealander youth who grew up in New Zealand after the 1990s. Based on in-depth interviews, it shows how many of them initially sought to assimilate into the dominant culture but later experienced a process of re-ethnicization, rediscovering their Korean heritage during adolescence and early adulthood. Chapters explore key themes such as cultural adaptation, ethnic identity, racism, co-ethnic friendships, and the role of digital media and the Korean Wave in fostering re-ethnicization. This book also situates these youth experiences within the broader contexts of New Zealand's multicultural policies, its bicultural foundation, multicultural frameworks and the global dynamics of diaspora and migration. Drawing on theories of segmented assimilation, transnationalism, and ethnic belonging, this book offers new insights into how young migrants navigate dual identities and negotiate belonging in an increasingly diverse and complex society for scholars and students in migration studies, sociology, diaspora studies, Asian studies and cultural studies. 188 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -This book offers a new perspective on the emergence of concepts that shaped the world, set against the dramatic background of political upheaval and crisis of scientific knowledge that characterized interwar Germany and Austria. On the one hand, the political-theoretical certainties of previous generations were rendered suddenly obsolete by the imperatives of total war. On the other hand, the old certainties of a reductive and deterministic conception of scientific knowledge had likewise been destabilized, in this case by the revolutionary discoveries of Relativity Theory and Quantum Mechanics. Among the philosophically literate intelligentsia of interwar Germany and Austria, the juxtaposition of such radical epistemic and political insecurity created fertile ground for the cross-pollination of ideas across disciplines. Using a network-oriented approach, this book traces key lines of influence, following the development, dissemination, and reinterpretation of concepts from domains of political thought to epistemology and back again. It is of interest and importance to a broad range of readers interested in learning how the ideas of physicist-philosophers like Albert Einstein and Werner Heisenberg shaped the paradigms within which major theorists like Walter Benjamin and Carl Schmitt opened up new horizons for political thought.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Drawing on the art historical framing of Location, Place, and Identity, this book will examine how the factors of Immersion, Presence, and Interactivity of XR are shaping our understanding of the world and our place within it. Location refers to the specific geographical or spatial context in which a work of art is created or experienced. Place refers to the social, cultural, and historical context of that location. Identity refers to the ways in which individuals and communities construct and express their sense of self and belonging within those contexts.Through case studies and theoretical analysis, Art and Culture in the Multiverse of Metaverses - Immersion, Presence, and Interactivity in the Digital Age, will explore how the factors of Immersion, Presence, and Interactivity of XR can be aligned with these art historical concepts, providing new opportunities for understanding and engaging with Location, Place, and Identity. For example, XR can be used to create immersive experiences of historical locations and cultural sites, allowing users to explore and engage with them in ways that would otherwise be impossible. Additionally, XR can be used to create interactive artworks that engage with issues of identity and belonging, creating new possibilities for self-expression and exploration.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This book offers a distinctive approach to policy analysis and a refreshing and politically engaged way of thinking about policy. It clearly articulates a Foucault-influenced poststructural perspective on policy and policy analysis for researchers, students and policy makers. As a 'guide to practice', the book introduces a critical analytical approach to policy analysis called What s the Problem Represented to be (WPR). Instead of treating policy as simply the government s best efforts to addressproblems, this analytic strategy highlights how policies produce problems as particular sorts of problem and how governing takes place through these problematisations. First published in 2016, the book describes the conceptual and theoretical underpinnings of the WPR approach to policy analysis in a detailed and accessible manner. It features examples of application of the approach with topics as diverse as obesity, economic policy, migration, drug and alcohol policy, and gender equality.In this second edition, the authors centralise a complementary analytic strategy for poststructural policy analysis poststructural interview analysis (PIA). This edition integrates this material as a new chapter which sets out PIA as a novel approach to poststructural interview analysis and includes examples of PIA applications. The new chapter provides excellent guidance to undertake interview analysis in a manner congruent with the poststructural precepts set out in the book. 178 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This book takes a ground-breaking approach to peace theory and practice at a time of multiplying global crises. It draws on the Lacanian-Hegelian dialectical materialism to rethink the way we think peace, conflict and violence as amongst multiple, overlapping crises including climate change, contemporary conflict, the threat of nuclear war, pandemics, the rise of far-right racism and growing class divisions.Such an approach may seem surprising. While Lacanian-Hegelian scholars have provided analyses of contemporary conflicts including Russia s war on Ukraine and Israel s war against Hamas, in doing so they have also made pointedly critiqued the theory and practice of peace. Rather than simply defend peace theory and practice, the book uses these critiques as the basis for rethinking peace and conflict. Therefore, the book occupies a unique position by being the first to apply Lacanian-Hegelian dialectical materialism to peace and conflict theory and practice broadlyIn doing so, it provides scholars, students and practitioners with new concepts and tools to rethink peace theory and practice and to engage with politics in an age fraught with crises. 104 pp. Englisch.
