The Competent Organisation - Hoggkinson - Bog - Open University Press - Plusbog.dk

The Competent Organisation - Hoggkinson - Bog - Open University Press - Plusbog.dk

Within the field of strategic management there is increasing awareness of the limitations of rational approaches to decision making. Managing in a climate of continuous change and uncertainty has turned attention to the role of managerial cognition. The Competent Organization explores the nature of cognition in organizations and focuses upon: the behaviour and characteristics of top management teams; organizational learning and memory; distributed cognition and information markets; the significance of knowledge management and tacit learning; key competencies such as emotional intelligence, information searching, decision making heuristics, creativity, intuition; and how organizations might be helped to become more cognitively effective."This trail-blazing book presents a clearly written, extensive survey of research about many psychological aspects of strategic analyses. It provocatively argues for the existence and practical impact of a ''strategic competence'' that integrates rationality, intuition, emotion, and rules of thumb. In a world where technological developments are demanding ever faster strategic reactions, and where globalization is making markets and organizations more and more complex, to understand the psychology of strategizing has become imperative. This book will attract and stimulate organizational psychologists, strategic-management scholars, and management consultants as well as corporate learning officers." - Professor Bill Starbuck, Past (USA) Academy of Management President and Professor at Stern Business School, New York."the first comprehensive treatment of a newly emerging field of study that uses established psychological and social principles to understand and begin to improve the processes of strategy formulation, strategy implementation, and organizational learning. Reading it was invigorating!" Professor Susan E. Jackson, School of Management and Labor Relations, Rutgers University."A path-breaking work: comprehensive, visionary - and accessible." Professor Mark Easterby-Smith, Lancaster University Management School."A refreshingly critical perspective on the origins of strategic competence. Hodgkinson and Sparrow''s knowledge management lens breathes coherence into a fragmented body of work...a broad rich overview of the field of managerial and organizational cognition." Kathleen Sutcliffe, Associate Professor, Uiversity of Michigan Business School."a significant step toward a trans-disciplinary understanding of strategic management in this acessible, well-written book which provides an attractive new vocabulary for understanding how organization competencies are grounded in cognitive processes."

Understanding The Consultation - Tim Usherwood - Bog - Open University Press - Plusbog.dk

Understanding The Consultation - Tim Usherwood - Bog - Open University Press - Plusbog.dk

The general practice consultation is one of the most challenging encounters in medicine. It demands of the doctor not only a high degree of technical knowledge and skill, but also considerable interpersonal competence and self-knowledge. Many books have been written about the consultation, but most are informed by a limited range of theoretical perspectives. The aim of this book is to help the reader gain a deeper understanding of the encounter between patient and doctor by examining it from a number of different points of view. Topics that are addressed include:* information sharing and decision making in the consultation* theories of the patient-doctor relationship* the social context of illnessThe research evidence is described, and practical implications for patient care are explored. Verbal and non-verbal communication, the care of patients with chronic illness, and management of emotional and psychosocial problems are discussed in detail.Understanding the Consultation will be of particular interest to trainee general practitioners, but should also be of interest to established general practitioners and senior medical students.

Leadership and Management in the Early Years: From Principles to Practice - Caroline Jones - Bog - Open University Press - Plusbog.dk

Leadership and Management in the Early Years: From Principles to Practice - Caroline Jones - Bog - Open University Press - Plusbog.dk

Early childhood practitioners are often reluctant to see themselves as leaders and managers. However, all those who work with young children and their families, whatever their level of experience and competence, have to undertake both of these roles on a daily basis. This book encourages practitioners to recognise their active involvement in leadership and management in relation to their work as team leader or team member, and in their work with parents and other professionals, to ensure appropriate and effective provision for young children. The authors identify a number of key principles involved in effective early years leadership and management, which focus on the idea that: - - Leadership is about influencing others to improve and enhance children’s care, learning and development - - Leadership is only effective if it develops the leadership of others by supporting a team or group in meeting their declared aims or vision - - Leadership is ultimately distributed, shared and dispersed in early childhood settings These principles are supported by a detailed exploration of the statutory demands made on practitioners working with young children and their families, and reference to relevant literature drawn from both early childhood studies and leadership theories. As well as providing guidance on the roles, responsibilities and tasks facing early childhood leaders, the book features a number of case studies and practical tasks, giving life to concepts and ideas and enabling readers to apply theories and policies to their own work settings. Additional activities at the end of each chapter further support practitioners in fulfilling their leadership and management roles in practice. Leadership and Management in the Early Years is an essential text for early years and early childhood studies students as well as practitioners particularly those who are aiming for Early Years Professional Status.
