Hvordan far man skabt en entrepreneuriel videnskultur og et entrepreneurielt samspil mellem universiteter, det etablerede forretningsliv og ivAerksAetterne? Entrepreneurship i vidensamfundet giver svaret. I vidensamfundet skabes samfundsvAerdierne ved at omsAette viden til praksis. Da Danmark befinder sig i toppen af verdenssamfundet, kan danske virksomheder kun konkurrere i kraft af et stadigt hojere videnindhold i produkter og organisationer. Det har for alvor rettet opmAerksomheden mod de videregaende uddannelser. Hvert ar springer tusindvis af ivAerksAettere ud som selvstAendige, men mellem den teoretiske og praktiske verden er der imidlertid fortsat en stor kloft. For at losne op for denne problemstilling folger bogen to spor. Forst folges skridt for skridt videnomraderne. DernAest skildres leddene i forretningsanalysen – lige fra forretningsarenaen til etableringen af en vAekstvirksomhed. Der lAegges vAegt pa, at forrretningspotentialer findes alle vegne, at nye, levedygtige virksomheder i hoj grad udspringer af eksisterende forretningsmiljoer, og at universiteterne isAer skal spille sammen med de storre forretningsmiljoer, hvor Danmark gor sig stAerkt gAeldende i verden.
The Challenge of Controlling COVID-19
Providing an account of the policy response to COVID-19 in England, this book analyses the political and long-term systemic factors associated with the failures to control the first wave of the pandemic during 2020. It explores the part played by key policy actors, particularly politicians and scientists, and focuses on two difficult policy issues during the first wave: the establishment of a ‘test, trace and isolate’ system and responses to the high death rate in care homes for older people. Drawing on a wide range of documentary evidence, including parliamentary papers and SAGE minutes, this book draws attention to the importance of longstanding structural problems in public health and the care sector, especially the impact of outsourcing and privatisation.
Participatory Ideology
The COVID-19 pandemic, Black Lives Matter movement and renewed action against climate change all highlight the increasing gulf between narrowly based dominant political ideologies and popular demands for social justice, global health, environmentalism and human rights. This book examines for the first time the exclusionary nature of prevailing political ideologies. Bringing together theory, practice and the relationship between participation, political ideology and social welfare, it offers a detailed critique of how the crucial move to more participatory approaches may be achieved. It is concerned with valuing people’s knowledge and experience in relation to ideology, exploring its conventional social construction including counter ideology and the ideological underpinnings and relations of participation. It also offers a practical guide for change.
The Struggle for Social Sustainability
The ongoing social crises and moral conflicts evident in global social policy debates are addressed in this timely volume. Leading interdisciplinary scholars focus on the ‘social’ of social policy, which is increasingly conceived in a globalized form, as new international agreements and global goals engender social struggles. They tackle pressing ‘social questions’, many of which have been exacerbated by COVID-19, including growing inequality, changing world population, ageing societies, migration and intersectional disadvantage. This ground-breaking volume critically engages with contested conceptions of ‘the social’ which are increasingly deployed by international institutions and policy makers. Focusing on ‘social sustainability’, ‘social cohesion’, ‘social justice’, ‘social wellbeing’ and ‘social progress’ this text is even more crucial as policy makers look to accelerate socially sustainable solutions to the world’s biggest challenges.
Leading Meaningful Change
Based on her research and 30 years of experience helping people lead and manage meaningful change, Beverley Patwell offers a new framework to guide and enhance the change journey. This approach is humanizing, engaging, and results in the belief in a higher purpose that permeates throughout the organization while at the same time achieves outcomes that are far greater than one person’s single contribution.
Patwell’s framework is effective in:
• creating a shared vision that compels people to be engaged and involved in the change journey;
• developing internal leaders and strong, cohesive and aligned teams to lead, manage and support the changes; and
• developing strategies to effectively lead, manage and evaluate the human side of change.
At the core of the framework are the Use-of-Self principles applied to the change process as seen through interviews with 24 multi-generational emerging, current and long-service leaders who explain why Use-of-Self remains a key element in successfully leading and managing change.
The book also includes practical tools to help leaders and managers across the globe address change leadership challenges. Of special note is a two-year case study of the Senior Leadership Team in the City of Ottawa who led a significant city-wide culture shift using the framework.
Build Bridges, Not Walls
The US border is going to continue to be a high profile national issue no matter who wins the White House in 2020. Todd Miller, an award-winning border journalist with twenty years experience, enters the debate with the most humanist and controversial solution: abolish borders . Directly inspired by the accessible pamphlet-size concept of We Should All Be Feminists , this new book presents Miller’s essential views through personal first-hand anecdotes, experience, and personal reflections on how our collective security and humanity will be strengthened by a world without borders. Given the escalating humanitarian crisis surrounding the militarization of US immigration and border policy, Miller offers direct resistance to U.S. racism, intolerance, and militarism, and calls for solidarity with the countless individuals and families driven here by poverty, climate change, and violence, all three of which have frequently been caused or worsened by U.S. foreign policies, trade practices, and interventions. Build Bridges Not Walls calls on readers to imagine and build a different kind of world, one in which security and sustainability are achieved through cooperation, not competition; kindness, not cruelty, and solidarity, not surveillance. In the author’s words, “ Build Bridges, Not Walls is a pithy guide to imagining a world without borders, through an entertaining memoir that includes twenty years of border reporting. It is essential reading for the Trump era in which many people crave practical alternatives to walls, prison camps, and families torn apart.” Todd Miiller has become, from his first publication with City Lights in 2014 through his last book in 2019 from Verso, THE voice on immigration issues as it relates to the border, his work in Storming the Wall from 2017 was an extremely prescient argument connecting border militarization and climate change. It was the winner of the 2018 Izzy Award for Excellence in Independent Journalism. Todd's writing has appeared in the New York Times, The Nation, San Francisco Chronicle, Yes! Magazine, TomDispatch, In These Times, Texas Observer, Al Jazeera, Tucson Weekly, NACLA, and Jacobin. Todd's many years doing this work traveling around the country, and his authority on the subject, has earned him a good following social media and contacts around the country at universities and bookstores.
