Future First: How Successful Leaders Turn Innovation Challenges into New Value Frontiers
by Alice MannFuture First is a practical guide for any business leader who wants to build, expand, or reinvent their company by finding new value in global challenges. Traditional companies often view issues like income equality, global warming, and resource scarcity as "problems." By contrast, future first leaders understand them as opportunities, as innovation challenges. Through real-life business examples ranging from Nike to Opower, this book lays out how to identify and adopt the future first leadership mindset and business capabilities required to achieve lasting and integrated performance results. Future First examines how leaders from companies including Unilever, Etsy, Revolution Foods, Method Products, and others have adopted this mindset toward innovation and people practices, accelerating business ecosystem transformation. Alice Mann, an organizational psychologist with twenty years of experience consulting and coaching on executive leadership, organization design, and business transformation, interviewed scores of business leaders to understand how their companies are expanding into new value frontiers. Future First makes a convincing argument that successful partnerships and alliances among big global companies and small mission-driven ones can reshape the global ecosystems of apparel, food, automobiles, and energy, and remake the future of our world.
Future Forsaken: Abuses Against Children Affected by HIV/AIDS in India
by Human Rights WatchThis 209-page report documents how many doctors refuse to treat or even touch HIV-positive children. Some schools expel or segregate children because they or their parents are HIV-positive. Many orphanages and other residential institutions reject HIV-positive children or deny that they house them. Children from families affected by AIDS may be denied an education, pushed onto the street, forced into the worst forms of child labor, or otherwise exploited, all of which puts them at greater risk of contracting HIV.
Future Medicine: Ethical Dilemmas, Regulatory Challenges, and Therapeutic Pathways to Health Care and Healing in Human Transformation
by Michael H. CohenFuture Medicineis an investigation into the clinical, legal, ethical, and regulatory changes occurring in our health care system as a result of the developing field of Complimentary and Alternative Medicine (CAM). Here Michael H. Cohen describes the likely evolution of the legal system and the health care system at the crossroads of developments in the way human beings care for body, mind, emotions, environment, and soul. Through the use of fascinating and relevant case studies, Cohen presents stimulating questions that will challenge academics, intellectuals, and all those interested in the future of health care. In concise, evocative strokes, the book lays the foundation for a novel synthesis of ideas from such diverse disciplines as transpersonal psychology, political philosophy, and bioethics. Providing an exploration of regulatory conundrums faced by many healing professionals, Cohen articulates the value of expanding our concept of health care regulation to consider not only goals of fraud control and quality assurance, but also health care freedom, integration of global medicine, and human transformation. Future Medicineprovides a fair-minded, illuminating, and honest discussion that will interest hospice workers, pastoral counselors, and psychotherapists, as well as bioethicists, physicians and allied health care providers, complementary and alternative medical providers (such as chiropractors, acupuncturists, naturopaths, massage therapists, homeopaths, and herbalists), and attorneys, hospital administrators, health care executives, and government health care workers. Michael H. Cohen is Director for Legal Programs, the Center for Research and Education in Complementary and Integrative Medical Therapies, Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, Harvard Medical School.

Future Viability, Business Models, and Values
by Friedrich GlaunerThis book challenges the traditional models of modern economy, business education and management, which are devoted to the concepts of scarcity, competition, growth and yield. It deconstructs the spiral of acceleration in which technological shifts concerning global markets and enterprises produce a dynamic of unbridled disruption, concentration and erosion of human and natural resources. The book analyzes how, in the face of this dynamic, once successful business models increasingly lead to existential jeopardy. The book embeds its argument in the impact of technological change on strategy in general. It subsequently analyzes the degree of rationality in the strategy building process to juxtapose revenue and responsibility as the fundamental principles of diverging strategic concepts. In its central chapters the book explores the benefits of consciousness-driven business models and value-added strategies for the awareness markets of the future and their impact on team excellence and resource handling. It develops an understanding of how corporations can function as ecosystems fostering the growth and development of the resources they operate on, rather than being based on their exploitation. Understanding this structure of viable future business models is the overall theme of this pioneering book. " This book endeavors to set out yet another paradigm for a viable economics, the paradigm of ethicology. It seeks to replace the concepts of competition, scarcity and growth with strategies and business models based on resource creation, added values cycles, enrichment and symbiosis in line with the awareness economy it describes.

Future-Proofing the Judiciary: Preparing for Demographic Change (Palgrave Socio-Legal Studies)
by Brian OpeskinThis book reinvigorates the field of socio-legal inquiry examining the relationship between law and demography. Originally conceived as 'population law' in the 1960s following a growth in population and a use of law to temper population growth, this book takes a new approach by examining how population change can affect the legal system, rather than the converse. It analyses the impact of demographic change on the judicial system, with a geographic focus on Australian courts but with global insights and it raises questions about institutional structures. Through four case studies, it examines how demographic change impacts on the judicial system and how should the judicial system adapt to embody a greater preparedness for the demographic changes that lie ahead? It makes recommendations for reform and speaks to applied demographers, socio-legal scholars, and those interested in judicial institutions.
Futures of International Criminal Justice (Routledge Socio-Legal Frontiers of Transitional Justice)
by Martin Clark Emma Palmer Edwin Bikundo Susan Harris RimmerThis collection identifies and discusses problems and opportunities for the theory and practice of international criminal justice. The International Criminal Court and project of prosecuting international atrocity crimes have faced multiple challenges and critiques. In recent times, these have included changes in technology, the conduct of armed conflict, the environment, and geopolitics. The mostly emerging contributors to this collection draw on diverse socio-legal research frameworks to discuss proposals for the futures of international criminal justice. These include addressing accountability gaps and under-examined or emerging areas of criminality at, but also beyond, the International Criminal Court, especially related to technology and the environment. The book discusses the tensions between universalism and localisation, as well as the regionalisation of international criminal justice and how these approaches might adapt to dynamic organisational, political and social structures, at the ICC and beyond. The book will be of interest to students, researchers and academics. It will also be a useful resource for civil society representatives including justice advocates, diplomats and other government officials and policy-makers.
Futures of Reproduction
by Catherine MillsIssues in reproductive ethics, such as the capacity of parents to 'choose children', present challenges to philosophical ideas of freedom, responsibility and harm. This book responds to these challenges by proposing a new framework for thinking about the ethics of reproduction that emphasizes the ways that social norms affect decisions about who is born. The book provides clear and thorough discussions of some of the dominant problems in reproductive ethics - human enhancement and the notion of the normal, reproductive liberty and procreative beneficence, the principle of harm and discrimination against disability - while also proposing new ways of addressing these. The author draws upon the work of Michel Foucault, especially his discussions of biopolitics and norms, and later work on ethics, alongside feminist theorists of embodiment to argue for a new bioethics that is responsive to social norms, human vulnerability and the relational context of freedom and responsibility. This is done through compelling discussions of new technologies and practices, including the debate on liberal eugenics and human enhancement, the deliberate selection of disabilities, PGD and obstetric ultrasound.

Fußspuren von Feist in der europäischen Datenbankrichtlinie: Eine rechtliche Analyse der Gesetzgebung zum geistigen Eigentum in Europa
by Indranath GuptaIm Zusammenhang mit der Rechtsprechung zur Urheberrechtsfähigkeit einer Tatsachenzusammenstellung werden in diesem Buch die Fußspuren des in einer Entscheidung des Obersten Gerichtshofs der USA (Feist) vorgesehenen Standards in Europa ausfindig gemacht. Insbesondere wird untersucht, inwieweit diese Rechtsprechung mit dem in der Europäischen Union angenommenen und diskutierten Standard übereinstimmt. Oftmals bleiben die Gründe für die Rechtsetzung unbemerkt. Die zwingenden Umstände und die Geschichte, die dem Erlass eines Gesetzes vorausgehen, helfen dabei, die Ausgewogenheit einer bestimmten Gesetzgebung zu verstehen. Bei der Betrachtung des Prozesses der Verabschiedung der Datenbankrichtlinie (96/9/EG) wird in diesem Buch über die Bedenken nachgedacht, die im Zusammenhang mit der Feist-Entscheidung in Europa geäußert wurden.
Führen mit Herz: Mit dem edlen achtfachen Pfad achtsamer und nachhaltiger werden
by Joan MarquesDieses aufschlussreiche und inspirierende Buch zeigt sowohl erfahrenen als auch angehenden Führungskräften, wie sie sich buddhistische Philosophien zunutze machen können, um eine effektivere und nachhaltigere Führung zu praktizieren. Illustriert durch die Geschichten visionärer und innovativer Führungskräfte aus vielen Bereichen, darunter Elon Musk (Tesla), Malala Yousafzai (Menschenrechte), Howard Schultz (Starbucks) und Muhammad Yunus (Mikrofinanzierung und Entwicklung), verbindet dieser Band ein uraltes buddhistisches Konzept, bekannt als der Edle Achtfache Pfad, mit den Bedürfnissen der heutigen Zeit, um ein alternatives Paradigma zur übermäßigen Fokussierung auf das Ergebnis und den "Winner-take-all"-Ansatz zu entwickeln, der die Führungspraxis der letzten Jahrzehnte dominiert hat.Die verblüffende Ablehnung der Europäischen Union durch das Vereinigte Königreich und das spaltende US-Präsidentschaftsrennen 2016 dienen als dramatische Kulisse für komplexe gesellschaftliche Probleme, die kreative Lösungen erfordern, die Akteure aus verschiedenen Bereichen und Sichtweisen zusammenbringen. Der Achtfache Pfad – charakterisiert durch die Elemente Rechte Sichtweise, Rechte Absicht, Rechte Rede, Rechtes Handeln, Rechter Lebensunterhalt, Rechte Anstrengung, Rechte Achtsamkeit und Rechte Konzentration – ist ein Führungsansatz, der individuelle und kollektive Belange ausgleicht sowie pragmatische und spirituelle Prioritäten in Einklang bringt.Joan Marques, eine erfahrene Autorin, Rednerin und Ausbilderin zum Thema Spiritualität in Organisationen mit umfangreicher Erfahrung in der Lehre und Anwendung buddhistischer Prinzipien, zeigt auf, wie der Achtfache Pfad Praktiken und Entscheidungen beeinflussen kann, die zu langfristigen Vorteilen für die Gemeinschaft führen und dabei achtsamere und gewissenhaftere Führungskräfte entwickeln, die in der Lage sind, vielschichtige Herausforderungen zu bewältigen.Die Übersetzung wurde mit Hilfe von künstlicher Intelligenz durchgeführt. Eine anschließende menschliche Überarbeitung erfolgte vor allem in Bezug auf den Inhalt.
Führung im öffentlichen Dienst: Konzepte und Instrumente für Führungskräfte im öffentlichen Sektor – worauf es in der Praxis ankommt (Edition Innovative Verwaltung)
by Dino André SchubertDieses Buch vermittelt Methoden und Werkzeuge, die für engagierte Führungskräfte im öffentlichen Dienst hilfreich und wirksam sind. Gerade in der öffentlichen Verwaltung, in der „die Uhren anders ticken“, scheint effektive Führung und Management eine besondere Herausforderung zu sein. Zudem ist der Glaubenssatz „das war schon immer so“ stark – vielleicht zu stark – etabliert. Wer jedoch den Anspruch hat, effektiv führen zu wollen, darf sich damit nicht zufriedengeben.Dr. Dino André kombiniert seine Erfahrungen in der öffentlichen Verwaltung mit den Erkenntnissen der Wissenschaft zu den Themen Führung und Management. Er stellt zunächst die wissenschaftlich überprüften Konzepte, die es für „gute Führung“ braucht, zur Verfügung. Im zweiten Schritt gibt er praktische Handreichungen in Form von Methoden und Konzepten für eine erfolgreiche Führungsarbeit im öffentlichen Dienst. Als Führungskraft erhalten Sie mit diesem Buch ein wertvolles Fundament, das Ihnen Sicherheit sowie Handlungsoptionen in mitunter schwierigen Führungsfragen gibt. Die vorgestellten Konzepte sind allesamt evidenz-basiert, lassen sich also wissenschaftlich belegen. Damit unterscheiden sie sich wohltuend von so einigen „Mainstream-Ansätzen“, die durch die Führungsetagen geistern.Führung in der Praxis – darauf kommt es anAufgaben und Rollen einer FührungskraftDer Nutzen von Führungsstilen und etablierten Werkzeugen Erfolg durch ArbeitszufriedenheitAbgrenzung zwischen Leitungs- und SachbearbeitungsaufgabeDie Performance im GremiumDie Rolle im PersonalmanagementKann man im öffentlichen Dienst keine Mitarbeiter entlassen?
Führung in Verwaltung und Polizei: Eine soziologisch informierte Ermutigung
by Christian BarthelDieses Fachbuch hilft dabei, die komplexe und oft anstrengende Wirklichkeit des Führungsalltags und theoretisches soziologisches Wissen in ein ausbalanciertes Verhältnis zu bringen. Zunächst werden die organisationssoziologischen Grundlagen einer Theorie der Führung beschrieben, dann wird die praktische Arbeit der Führung im Organisationsalltag der Verwaltung fokussiert. Dies geschieht unter dem Gesichtspunkt des Managements kritischer Führungssituationen. Deutlich wird dabei, dass die durchgehende Aufmerksamkeit für kritische Situationen nicht als punktuelle Reparaturarbeit missverstanden werden darf, sondern als der systematische Weg zu einer prozesshaften Dienststellenentwicklung verstanden werden muss. Außerdem wird der Blick auf die Führungsinteraktion im engeren Sinne gewendet – also auf die Personalführung, aber auch auf die gleichermaßen relevanten Interaktionen mit ebenengleichen Kollegen, Vorgesetzten oder externen Anspruchsgruppen bzw. Kooperationspartnern. Schließlich wird das Selbstmanagement der Novizen im Höheren Dienst in ihrer neuen Führungsrolle beleuchtet.Der Autor nutzt seine persönlichen Erfahrungen als Führungspraktiker und als Dozent für Führungslehre und verdichtet und reflektiert sie für „Aufsteiger“ vor allem in den Höheren Dienst der allgemeinen Verwaltung sowie der Polizei aus organisationssoziologischer Sicht.
Führung in der Polizei
by Christian Barthel Dirk HeidemannDas Herausgeberwerk ist ein Plädoyer für eine organisationssoziologisch fundierte Führungskonzeption, die am Beispiel der Polizei wichtige Ansätze bündelt und ihre Brauchbarkeit in theoretischer wie praktischer Hinsicht dokumentiert. Die Polizei ist ein interessantes Feld, um Probleme der Führung zu diskutieren, weil sie durch vergleichsweise steile Hierarchien gekennzeichnet ist und dennoch komplexe Führungssituationen aufweist, die durch die Hierarchie selbst kaum bearbeitet werden können. Außerdem verfügt die Polizei über ein offizielles Führungssystem, das "Kooperative Führungssystem" (KFS), das als Leitbild und als "verbindliche Handlungsorientierung" Geltung beansprucht. Das KFS stammt aus den 1970er-Jahren und ist geprägt von den instrumentellen Lösungsansätzen, die einerseits auf klassische Motivationsansätze, aber auch auf eine unreflektierte Vorgesetztenfunktion zurückgreifen, die man als heroisch und in heutiger Zeit kaum mehr realistisch bezeichnen muss. Die Autoren präsentieren verschiedene organisationssoziologische Ansätze, um deutlich zu machen, dass eine angemessene Rekonstruktion des Führungsprozesses nicht nur im Sinne eines erweiterten theoretischen Blickwinkels, sondern auch für die Bearbeitung komplexer Führungssituationen praktisch brauchbarer ist.

G-Man: J. Edgar Hoover and the Making of the American Century
by Beverly GageWhen he became director of the FBI in 1924, J. Edgar Hoover was a dazzling wunderkind buzzing with big ideas for reform. He transformed a failing law-enforcement backwater, riddled with scandal, into a modern machine. He believed in the power of the federal government to do great things for the nation and its citizens. He also believed that certain people – many of them communists or racial minorities – did not deserve to be included in that American project. In her nuanced and definitive portrait, Beverly Gage charts Hoover&’s rise to power, as he used the tools of state to create a personal fiefdom unrivalled in U.S. history. Hoover was not above blackmail and intimidation, and his conservative values ranged from white supremacy to a crusading and politicized interpretation of Christianity. But he was more than a one-dimensional tyrant who strong-armed the country into submission. As FBI director for almost fifty years, he was a confidant, counsellor, and adversary to eight U.S. presidents, four Republicans and four Democrats. His conservative values won him the admiration of millions of Americans. He stayed in office for so long because many people, from the highest reaches of government down to the grassroots, wanted him there. And he has done more to shape the political right today than many presidents. G-Man places Hoover back where he once stood: at the centre of American political history. In telling his story, Gage shines a light on great social and political changes in 20th century America, from policing and civil rights to political culture and ideology.
G. E. Moore: Early Philosophical Writings
by Consuelo Preti Thomas BaldwinG. E. Moore's fame as a philosopher rests on his ethics of love and beauty, which inspired Bloomsbury, and on his 'common sense' certainties which challenge abstract philosophical theory. Behind this lies his critical engagement with Kant's idealist philosophy, which is published here for the first time. These early writings, Moore's fellowship dissertations of 1897 and 1898, show how he initiated his influential break with idealism. In 1897 his main target was Kant's ethics, but by 1898 it was the whole Kantian project of transcendental philosophy that he rejected, and the theory which he developed to replace it gave rise to the new project of philosophy as logical analysis. This edition includes comments by Moore's examiners Henry Sidgwick, Edward Caird and Bernard Bosanquet, and in a substantial introduction the editors explore the crucial importance of the dissertations to the history of twentieth-century philosophical thought.
