Strategy Activation Canvas

Strategy Activation Canvas

The Strategy Activation Canvas is the new standard for accelerating strategies – beginning where classical strategies end: with its activation. While many management and business canvases focus on developing a strategy the Strategy Activation Canvas helps leaders and decision-makers to bring strategies to life. This book demonstrates for the first time how entire organizations can be “activated”: how people can not only perceive and implement a new strategy but how entire organizations can be heavily involved in its making how strategies are made visible and experienced and how people can play an active and sustaining role throughout bringing a strategy to life. With their decades of experience in large scale organizations Thiessen and Wreschniok pair their knowledge with case studies from Allianz Baloise E. ON Hamburg Commercial Bank Microsoft NORD/LB Swisscom or Swiss Re organizations led by leaders who have significantly accelerated the success and value of their strategies through strategy activation. This book is an essential resource for managers who have responsibility for strategic initiatives and transformation programs of any kind.

Mahasthan Record Revisited Querying the Empire from a Regional Perspective

Mahasthan Record Revisited Querying the Empire from a Regional Perspective

A small record consisting of six to seven lines that has been published by eminent epigraphists several times would require a fresh interpretation was almost beyond imagination. It was by chance that the Indian Museum displayed the Mahasthan stone plaque and after seeing this record several questions arose which demanded a fresh interpretation and this enquiry finally culminated into this slim monograph. The book attempts a re-reading of this inscription and also provides a fresh interpretation. It tries to situate this record in a broader canvas by interrogating the record along with several other evidences. This finally leads us to look at the Mauryan Empire from a regional perspective. | Mahasthan Record Revisited Querying the Empire from a Regional Perspective

Love and Technology An Ethnography of Dating App Users in Berlin

Love and Technology An Ethnography of Dating App Users in Berlin

Love and Technology: An Ethnography of Dating App Users in Berlin explores how dating apps fit into Berlin’s unique dating culture and brand of intimacy and form a tangible nucleus around which users navigate dating rituals romantic biographies and digitally mediated intimacies within city space. Drawing on the field of digital anthropology this book takes the form of an immersive ethnography resulting from 13 months of fieldwork with young dating app users across Tinder Bumble and OkCupid in Berlin. It argues that dating apps offer or impose depending on their context of use a series of affordances. These affordances and the technological devices they rely upon exist through the relation between users and their environment both in terms of physical spaces and cultural frameworks. The book posits that dating apps are woven into spatial practices and self-narrativisation constituting imagined communities for their users as well as a canvas alongside the city of Berlin against which to characterise romantic experiences. Scholars interested in digital anthropology ethnography dating and regional Berlin will find that Love and Technology offers a vibrant springboard for thinking through both theoretical and methodological concerns. | Love and Technology An Ethnography of Dating App Users in Berlin

Philadelphia Patricians and Philistines 1900-1950

Philadelphia Patricians and Philistines 1900-1950

An unorthodox historian known and respected for his work on the grand conflicts of nations and civilizations John Lukacs has peopled a smaller canvas in this volume with seven colourful figures who flourished in Philadelphia before 1950. Their stories are framed by chapters that describe the city in 1900 and in 1950. The Philadelphians selected are a political boss Boies Penrose; a magazine mogul Edward Bok; an elegant writer Agnes Repplier; an impetuous diplomat William C. Bullitt; a lawyer George Wharton Pepper; a prophet of decline Owen Wister; and a great art collector Albert C. Barnes. The political boss was perhaps the most monumental political figure of his age. The magazine mogul was the most famous embodiment of the American success story during his lifetime. The now almost forgotten writer was the Jane Austen of the essay. The diplomat was the most brilliant of ambassadors. The terrible-tempered collector was a radical proponent of his unusual theory of art. Through these seven portraits Lukacs paints a picture of Philadelphia that is like all living things having the power to change out of recognition and yet remain the same. This work is a must read for all historians and Philadelphians. | Philadelphia Patricians and Philistines 1900-1950

Lennon and McCartney Painting with Sound

Lennon and McCartney Painting with Sound

Lennon and McCartney: Painting with Sound explores the work of two of the most influential composers of the twentieth century. Five decades after the breakup of the Beatles the music of John Lennon and Paul McCartney continues to fascinate and inspire. Evidence suggests that their uniquely eclectic approach can be traced back to the Liverpool College of Art. Following on that idea this book explores the creative dialogue between John Lennon and Paul McCartney both with the Beatles and on their own that grew out of that early influence. The book is presented in three sections: I. Stretching the Canvas considers the Liverpool College of Art as the backdrop for John and Paul’s early collaborations with painter and musician Stuart Sutcliffe. This is followed by discussions of select works created by the Beatles between 1962-69. II. Extending the Space focuses on the long-distance creative dialogue between Lennon and McCartney as demonstrated in their respective solo recordings of the 1970s. III. New Colours considers the final works of the Lennon and McCartney creative dialogue as well as various McCartney solo projects released in the years that followed Lennon’s death in 1980. Here the focus is on Paul’s development as a painter its effect on his creativity and his subsequent efforts to establish the Liverpool Institute for Performing Arts as a world-class arts conservatory. | Lennon and McCartney Painting with Sound

Decolonization Development and Knowledge in Africa Turning Over a New Leaf

Decolonization Development and Knowledge in Africa Turning Over a New Leaf

This provocative book is anchored on the insurgent and resurgent spirit of decolonization of the twenty-first century. The author calls upon Africa to turn over a new leaf in the domains of politics economy and knowledge as it frees itself from imperial global designs and global coloniality. With a focus on Africa and its Diaspora the author calls for a radical turning over of a new leaf predicated on decolonial turn and epistemic freedom. The key themes subjected to decolonial analysis include: (1) decolonization/decoloniality – articulating the meaning and contribution of the decolonial turn; (2) subjectivity/identity – examining the problem of Blackness (identity) as external and internal invention; (3) the Bandung spirit of decolonization as an embodiment of resistance and possibilities development and self-improvement; (4) development and self-improvement – of African political economy as entangled in the colonial matrix of power and the African Renaissance as weakened by undecolonized political and economic thought; and (5) knowledge – the role of African humanities in the struggle for epistemic freedom. This groundbreaking volume opens the intellectual canvas on the challenges and possibilities of African futures. It will be of great interest to students and scholars of Politics and International Relations Development Sociology African Studies Black Studies Education History Postcolonial Studies and the emerging field of Decolonial Studies. | Decolonization Development and Knowledge in Africa Turning Over a New Leaf

Disruptive Leadership Apple and the Technology of Caring Deeply-Nine Keys to Organizational Excellence and Global Impact

Disruptive Leadership Apple and the Technology of Caring Deeply-Nine Keys to Organizational Excellence and Global Impact

Disruptive leadership is a topic generating intense interest. Companies all over the world are trying to upend their industry through innovative products and services. Becoming a disruptive organization however is easier said than done. Even more difficult is being a company that continually disrupts. Is it possible to discern a code for how companies can achieve this? In this highly readable and engaging book a disruptive leadership framework is proposed in which caring deeply is placed at the center of the model. By turning care into a focal point a triphasic model is proposed that moves from the personal sphere (individual) to the corporate arena (organizational) and then to the global stage (impact). Nine keys are identified along this path for how companies can realize organizational excellence. While care may seem like a soft concept in the rough and tumble world of business it is argued how it is actually an inspired manner for providing direction structure and know-how that leads to powerful outcomes. Apple is profiled as a leading example of leveraging what is termed the technology of caring deeply. Other companies such as Nike IKEA Zappos Starbucks are also profiled. Finally a leadership canvas is provided to help activate the lessons shared in the book. | Disruptive Leadership Apple and the Technology of Caring Deeply-Nine Keys to Organizational Excellence and Global Impact

Samuel Pepys and the Second Dutch War Pepys's Navy White Book and Brooke House Papers

Samuel Pepys and the Second Dutch War Pepys's Navy White Book and Brooke House Papers

The two pieces of work which make up this volume were compiled by Pepys in the 1660s. The first is Pepys’s own record of how the Navy Board functioned. It records details of meetings with fellow officers such as Sir William Penn and Sir John Mennes and how work could be hampered at times by the refusal of an officer to sign a contract or bill as he had not been present at the original discussions. The Navy White Book gives the discussions which took place over a variety of matters such as contracts with Sir William Warren a timber merchant; costs and quality of masts and canvas. The Brooke House Papers deal with the inquiry set up by the House of Commons into the conduct of the Second Dutch War following the humiliation of the Dutch invasion of 1667 and the inefficiency of the Navy Board. The Brooke House Papers further show Pepys defending the Navy Board’s professionalism and integrity and also that naval administration during the Second Dutch War was efficient. The Papers also show Charles II ‘s role in protecting the Navy Board by making his dissatisfaction with the inquiry known through his disrespectful language and interruptions as well as his support for Pepys whom he makes the Board’s spokesman. | Samuel Pepys and the Second Dutch War Pepys's Navy White Book and Brooke House Papers

The Mongol Empire Its Rise and Legacy

The Mongol Empire Its Rise and Legacy

In his prologue to The Mongol Empire Michael Prawdin sets the stage for the last and mightiest onslaught of the nomads upon the civilized world. He tells of the many rejoicings in Europe over the successes of the Crusaders in A. D. 1221. But little did Europe know that two decades later the Mongol hordes organized by Genghis Khan would turn the Middle East into a heap of ruins and spread terror throughout the West. A work of enduring scholarship and literary excellence The Mongol Empire is a classic on the rise and fall of the world's largest empire. It describes the incredible ascent of the Mongol people which through the political and military genius of Genghis Khan overwhelmed and subdued the nations of most of the world. It demonstrates the transformation of barbarous nomads into the most efficient rulers of their time and describes the crumbling of their vast empire and the assumption of its legacy by the formerly subjugated China and Russia. Maurice Collis in Time and Tide said of The Mongol Empire: It has the rare merit of being both scholarly and exciting. . The entire world comes on to his canvas romantic and fantastical persons pass in our view and at the conclusion we realize that we have seen the whole of what Marco Polo saw only in part. while The Observer commented it is a fine book full of dramatic occasion well used clear in proportions. | The Mongol Empire Its Rise and Legacy

Sham Ruins A User's Guide

Sham Ruins A User's Guide

In the middle of the eigtheenth century a new fad found its way into the gardens of England's well-to-do: building fake Gothic ruins. Newly constructed castle towers and walls looked like they were already falling apart even on the first day of their creation. Made of stone plaster or even canvas these sham ruins are often considered an embarrassing blip in English architectural history. However Sham Ruins: A User's Guide expands the specific example of the sham ruin into a general principle to examine the way purposely broken objects can be used to both uncover old truths and invent new ones. Along with architecture work by Ivan Vladislavić Tom Stoppard Alain Mabanckou Aleksei Fedorchenko Michael Haneke and Sturtevant is used to develop this thesis as well as artifacts such as pre-torn jeans fake histories and broken screen apps. Using these examples one of the key questions the book raises is: what is it that sham ruins ruin? In other words if real ruins are ruins of what they actually are then sham ruins should be considered ruins of what they are not. Thus sham ruins are about imposing new meaning where such meaning does not and should not exist. They also can show how things we think are functioning well are actually already broken. Sham ruins do this and much more by being lies ruses and embarrassments. This is what gives them the power with which we can think about objects in new unintended ways. | Sham Ruins A User's Guide

Indonesia’s Foreign Policy and Grand Strategy in the 21st Century Rise of an Indo-Pacific Power

Indonesia’s Foreign Policy and Grand Strategy in the 21st Century Rise of an Indo-Pacific Power

This book examines the changes in Indonesian foreign policy during the 21st century as it seeks to position itself as a great power in the Indo-Pacific region. The rise of 21st-century Indonesia is becoming a permanent fixture in both the domestic and global discourses. Though there has been an increasing level of discussion on Indonesia’s emerging power status there has been little discussion on how the country is debating and signalling its new-found status. This book combines the insights of both neo-classical realism and social identity theory to discuss a reset in an emerging Indonesia’s foreign policy during the 21st century while emphasizing domestic drivers and constraints of its international behaviour. There are three key organizing components of the book – emerging power status signalling and the Indo-Pacific region. The Indo-Pacific region constitutes a spatial framing of the book; the emerging power provides an analytical category to explain Indonesia’s changing international status; and status signalling explains multiple facets of international behaviour through which the country is projecting its new status. Though leaders are adding different styles and characteristics to the rising Indonesia narrative there are a few unmistakable overarching trends that highlight an increasing correlation between the country’s rising power and growing ambition in international behaviour. This book is built around four key signalling strategies of Indonesia as an emerging power – expanded regional canvas power projection leadership projection and quest for great power parity. They represent Indonesia’s growing desire for a status-consistent behaviour its response to the prevailing strategic uncertainty in the Indo-Pacific region and its attempt to advance its strategic interests. This book will be of much interest to students of South-East Asian politics strategic studies international diplomacy security studies and IR in general. | Indonesia’s Foreign Policy and Grand Strategy in the 21st Century Rise of an Indo-Pacific Power

Contemporary Patterns of Politics Praxis and Culture

Contemporary Patterns of Politics Praxis and Culture

The National Political Science Review is the official publication of the National Conference of Black Political Scientists. This new volume Contemporary Patterns of Politics Praxis and Culture reflects major research focuses across religion race gender culture and of course politics. Themes that engage a community of scholars also engage them in praxis as individual citizens and practitioners in a democratic society and collectively as member-participants in a changing culture. Two themes religion and culture are relatively new areas of intellectual curiosity for political scientists. Articles in this volume extend the beachheads already established by African-American political scientists in studies that guage the significance and influence of religion in both individual and group behavior. They chart religion's inevitable move onto the center stage of U. S. public affairs. The study of culture has essentially languished for almost a generation within political science especially with regard to the study of American politics and society. During this time the emphasis has also shifted significantly from an almost exclusive focus on civic culture to an expanding focus on the broad expanse of popular culture in the contemporary period. Culture is the crucible within which politics race religion and gender both foment and ferment and artistic products of the culture are manifestations and mirrors of how we envision and construct a changing reality. Issues of race religion gender and culture are all dimensions of individual and group identity. The dynamics of changing individual and group identities change the underlying cultural canvas against which identity is displayed and politics is acted out. The concept of praxis is relatively new to the lexicon of political science. However engagement in the practice of politics is not a new idea for African-American social scientists. Indeed particularly for this group and clearly for many others scholarship influences praxis and praxis influences scholarship. This volume will be of particular interest to ethnic studies specialists African-American studies scholars political scientists historians and sociologists.
