Contemporary Issues in Corporate Social Responsibility

Contemporary Issues in Corporate Social Responsibility

As a result of the industrialization, urbanization, and population increase during the last two centuries, the global landscape has been irreversibly damaged. These anthropological pressures have create endless problems on the global level, and individuals and organizations are beginning to realize their own ever-increasing responsibility to consider the welfare and interests of all stakeholders as a whole. Although the improvements in the legal framework at the national and international level can be viewed as an important step to protect society and the natural environment, a legal course provides a reactive mode of control rather than a proactive approach. Considering its proactive approach and voluntarily basis, the concept of social responsibility can provide a significant tool of generating a sustainable future. During such a paradigm shift, Contemporary Issues in Corporate Social Responsibility presents the significant roles that universities must embrace in order to take charge of the future. In parallel to those movements, many institutions include a course on social responsibility, yet the studies on the education of social responsibility in the literature show that there is no commonly accepted teaching methods and guiding curriculum of CSR. This book was designed based on the outcomes of an Erasmus Intensive Project (IP) which was organized in Yasar University during June 2012 with the contribution of 9 European universities. Based on the interactive feedback of participants during the project, this book sheds light on the ongoing discussion of corporate social responsibility from a European perspective.

Start and Scaling Devops in the Enterprise

Start and Scaling Devops in the Enterprise

DevOps is a fundamental shift in how leading edge companies are starting to manage their software and IT work. Businesses need to move more quickly than ever before, and large software organizations are applying these DevOps principles to develop new software faster than anyone previously thought possible. DevOps started in small organizations and in large organizations that had or created architectures that enabled small teams to independently develop, qualify, and deploy code. The impact on productivity is so dramatic that larger organizations with tightly coupled architectures are realizing they either need to embrace DevOps or be left behind. The biggest challenge is that they can’t just empower small teams to work independently because their legacy architectures require coordinating the development, qualification, and deployment of code across hundreds of people. They need a DevOps approach that not only addresses their unique challenges, but also helps them reach an organization-wide agreement on where to start and how to scale DevOps. That is where Starting and Scaling DevOps in the Enterprise comes in.Starting and Scaling DevOps in the Enterprise is a quick, easy-to-read guide that helps structure those improvements by providing a framework that large organizations can use to understand DevOps principles in the context of their current development processes and gain alignment across the organization for successful implementations. The book illustrates how to analyze your current development and delivery processes to ensure you gain positive momentum by implementing the DevOps practices that will have the greatest immediate impact on the productivity of your organization, with the goal of achieving continuous improvement over time.

Garra

Garra

Neste livro obrigatório para todos que desejam alcançar o sucesso, a psicóloga Angela Duckworth demonstra para pais, estudantes, educadores, atletas e empreendedores que o segredo para realizações incríveis não é o talento, mas uma mistura de paixão e perseverança que ela chama de “garra” — a capacidade de perseverar e produzir resultados além do puro talento, da sorte ou das eventuais derrotas.Ao usar como exemplo a própria história como filha de um cientista que, com frequência, notava sua falta de “genialidade”, Duckworth, agora professora e pesquisadora renomada, descreve as primeiras revelações que a levaram à hipótese de que não é a “genialidade” que realmente conduz ao sucesso, mas uma combinação especial de paixão e perseverança.Em Garra, ela cita o caso dos cadetes que se esforçam em seus primeiros dias na Academia Militar de West Point e de professores que trabalham nas escolas mais difíceis de lecionar dos Estados Unidos. Destaca conceitos e insights fascinantes buscados tanto na história quanto nos mais modernos experimentos sobre alta performance e, finalmente, compartilha com o leitor o que aprendeu ao entrevistar dezenas de pessoas bem-sucedidas nos mais diversos campos de atuação: do CEO do J. P. Morgan a um cartunista da The New Yorker e um treinador da National Football League, entre outros.Pessoal e inspirador, capaz de transformar vidas, Garra é um livro sobre o que se passa na cabeça das pessoas durante as derrotas e como isso — não o talento ou a sorte — pode fazer toda a diferença.“Garra é uma resposta fascinante e convincente à falsa importância dada ao QI. Duckworth lembra que são o caráter e a perseverança que diferenciam os bem-sucedidos.” Malcolm Gladwell, autor de O ponto da virada“Inestimável. Em um mundo onde o acesso ao conhecimento é sem precedentes, Garra descreve a característica-chave daqueles que sabem tirar vantagem disso.” Salman Khan, fundador da Khan Academy“Incrivelmente atual e original, Garra derruba os preconceitos sobre quão longe nosso potencial pode nos levar. Leia o livro, compre para seus amigos e espalhe a mensagem de que há esperança: todos nós podemos brilhar.” Susan Cain, autora de O poder dos quietos

Austrian Economics (Routledge Revivals)

Austrian Economics (Routledge Revivals)

First published in 1986, this book presents a reissue of the first detailed confrontation between the Austrian school of economics and Austrian philosophy, especially the philosophy of the Brentano school. It contains a study of the roots of Austrian economics in the liberal political theory of the nineteenth-century Hapsburg empire, and a study of the relations between the general theory of value underlying Austrian economics and the new economic approach to human behaviour propounded by Gary Becker and others in Chicago.  In addition, it considers the connections between Austrian methodology and contemporary debates in the philosophy of the social sciences.

Super voorspellers

Super voorspellers

Veel van onze beslissingen worden gestuurd door verwachtingen over de toekomst. Of je nu beleidsmaker bent, op de beurs handelt, een product wilt lanceren of een carrièreswitch overweegt, je doet voorspellingen. Het probleem is, we zijn er niet erg goed in. Philip Tetlock ontdekte na langlopend onderzoek dat er mensen zijn die het wel degelijk vaak bij het juiste eind hebben. Het zijn geen experts, maar gewone mensen die opvallend vaak juiste voorspellingen doen, supervoorspellers. In dit baanbrekende boek laat Tetlock zien hoe je van hen kunt leren om zelf een betere voorspeller te worden. Daarnaast geeft hij een uniek inzicht in hoe we verhalen vormen over lot en toeval, hoe makkelijk we informatie verkeerd interpreteren of zelfs negeren, en hoe we betere beslissingen kunnen nemen in tijden van onzekerheid.
