To compare Britain and Japan over the course of the last century is to juxtapose two societies at very different stages of development This being the case the two countries still have many similarities including established systems of ritual and religious belief, empire and nationality, education, and large scale participation in two world wars ожзка The application of Halsey’s model when comparing Britain and Japan creates a comprehensive analysis of two seemingly different countries evolving in the same international environment Kenneth Brown’s use of literature covering the economic history of these countries over the last century is unique and will add greatly to existing material.  ISBN 0719052912.

The image of Hitler as a demagogic "pied piper" leading astray the "little people" of Austria is as misleading as it is powerful Nazism and the Working Class in Austria is a case study of the ambiguous relationship between state and society under the Nazis Workers did not seriously attempt or even expect to overthrow the Nazi ожзкг regime in the face of unprecedented surveillance and terror; but neither were they converted, and their oppositional strategies and disgruntled political opinions reveal a truculent workforce, rather than one that was contented and converted.  ISBN 0521522692.

Although the level of U S per capita output was higher than that of any other industrialized country at the end of World War II, output has increased by more than four times and per capita output has more than doubled Empirical evidence has shifted the terms of professional debates over the importance of investment and productivity as sources of postwar ожзкс growth This volume traces this outstanding growth performance to investments in tangible assets and human capital The distinctive feature of investment as a source of economic growth is that returns can be internalized by the investor The most straightforward application of this idea is to investments that create property rights These include rights to transfer the resulting assets and benefit from the incomes that are generated This volume broadens the meaning of capital formation to include the investments in education and training The contributions of these investments to economic growth can be identified from their impacts on labor incomes After the slowdown in U S economic growth that began in 1973 it became apparent that economic research had failed to produce a satisfactory basis for policies to generate growth This volume provides the starting point for development of a new consensus based on the policies that stimulate and reward investments in tangible assets and human capital These policies will focus on returns that can be internalized by investors, ending the fruitless search for "spill overs" that can generate growth without providing incentives for capital formation.  ISBN 1583483888.

In the United States, less than one worker in five is currently in a labor union, while in Sweden, virtually the entire workforce is unionized Despite compelling evidence for their positive effects, even the strongest European unions are now in retreat as some policymakers herald the U S model of market deregulation These differences in union power ожзлл significantly affect workers' living standards and the fortunes of national economies What explains the enormous variation in unionization and why has thelast decade been so hostile to organized labor? Bruce Western tackles these questions in an analysis of labor union organization in eighteen capitalist democracies from 1950 to 1990 Combining insights from sociology and economics in a novel way, Westernviews unions as the joint product of market forces and political and economic institutions The author argues that three institutional conditions are essential for union growth: strong working-class political parties, centralized collective bargaining,and union-run unemployment insurance These conditions shaped the impact of market currents and explain variations across industries, across countries, and over time for the four decades since 1950 Between Class and Market traces the story of thepostwar labor movements supported by a blend of historical investigation and sophisticated statistical analysis in an innovative framework for comparative research Western tightly integrates institutional explanation and comparative method in a way that balances comparative generality with the unique historical experiences of specific cases.  ISBN 0691010331.

In the middle of the road of my life I awoke in a dark wood where the true way was wholly lost -DANTE Like Dante, many of today's corporate workers find themselves lost in the day-to-day duties of their jobs Our lives seemshaken by the events of September 11 and the seemingly endless examples of corporate scandal, it's become more difficult than ever ожзмй to find meaning in the workplace Has your work lost its meaning? Are you afraid of pursuing your dreams for fear of failing or--worse--getting fired? Do you yearn to find creativity, and even joy, in your job? In The Heart Aroused, David Whyte brings his unique perspective as poet and consultant to the workplace, showing readers how fulfilling work can be when they face their fears and follow their dreams Going beneath the surface concerns about products and profits, organization and order, Whyte addresses the needs of the heart and soul, and the fears and desires that many workers keep hidden Through the poetry of both classic and modern masters, Whyte helps readers find both professional and personal fulfillment In Beowulf, Whyte uncovers the key to confronting office conflicts Like the poem's courageous hero, readers will travel to the belly of the beast of a problem and emerge triumphantly with a solution The poems of Pablo Neruda help on find inner silence even in the busiest, most confining office space With T S Eliot as a guide, Whyte teaches readers to appreciate the need to open themselves up to possible failure--and as a result, probable success At a time when corporations are calling on employees for more creativity, dedication, and adaptability, and workers are trying desperately to balance home and work, this revised edition of The Heart Aroused is the essential guide to reinvigorating the soul.  ISBN 0385484186.

In this book Dr Michael Stankosky, founder of the first doctoral program in knowledge management, sets out to provide a rationale and solid research basis for establishing Knowledge Management (KM) as an academic discipline While it is widely known that Knowledge is the driver of our knowledge economy, Knowledge Management does not yet have the ожзмщ legitimacy that only rigorous academic research can provide This book lays out the argument for KM as a separate academic discipline, with its own body of knowledge (theoretical constructs), guiding principles, and professional society In creating an academic discipline, there has to be a widely accepted theoretical construct, arrived at by undergoing scholarly scientific investigation and accompanying rigor This construct becomes the basis for an academic curriculum, and proven methodologies for practice Thus, the chapters in this book bridge theory and practice, providing guiding principles to those embarking on or evaluating the merits of a KM program As a methodology itself for undertaking the development of a body of knowledge, a KM Research Map was developed to guide scholars, researchers, and practitioners This book presents this map, and showcases cutting-edge scholarship already performed in this nascent field by including the dissertation results of eleven KM scholar/practitioners *First book to provide cutting-edge research from new scholars in Knowledge Management *Provides a rationale and research base for establishing knowledge management as an academic discipline *Research from the first doctoral program in knowledge management in North America, at George Washington University.  2005 г Мягкая обложка, 256 стр ISBN 075067878X.

Because it provided the dominant framework for "development" of poor, postcolonial countries, modernization theory ranks among the most important constructs of twentieth-century social science In Mandarins of the Future: Modernization Theory in Cold War America Nils Gilman offers the first intellectual history of a movement ожзмы that has had far-reaching and often unintended consequences After a survey of the theory's origins and its role in forming America's postwar sense of global mission, Gilman offers a close analysis of the people who did the most to promote it in the United States and the academic institutions they came to dominate He first explains how Talcott Parsons at Harvard constructed a social theory that challenged the prevailing economics-centered understanding of the modernization process, then describes the work of Edward Shils and Gabriel Almond in helping Parsonsian ideas triumph over other alternative conceptions of the development process, and finally discusses the role of Walt Rostow and his colleagues at M I T in promoting modernization theory during the Kennedy and Johnson administrations By connecting modernization theory to the welfare state liberalism programs of the New Deal order, Gilman not only provides a new intellectual context for America's Third World during the Cold War, but also connects the optimism of the Great Society to the notion that American power and good intentions could stop the postcolonial world from embracing communism.  2004 г Твердый переплет, 344 стр ISBN 0801873991.
