Accounting at War The Politics of Military Finance

Accounting at War The Politics of Military Finance

Accounting is frequently portrayed as a value free mechanism for allocating resources and ensuring they are employed in the most efficient manner. Contrary to this popular opinion the research presented in Accounting at War demonstrates that accounting for military forces is primarily a political practice. Throughout history military force has been so pervasive that no community of any degree of complexity has succeeded in. Through to the present day for all nation states accounting for the military and its operations has primarily served broader political purposes. From the Crimean War to the War on Terror accounting has been used to assert civilian control over the military instill rational business practices on war and create the visibilities and invisibilities necessary to legitimize the use of force. Accounting at War emphasizes the significant power that financial and accounting controls gave to political elites and the impact of these controls on military performance. Accounting at War examines the effects of these controls in wars such as the Crimean South African and Vietnam wars. Accounting at War also emphasizes how accounting has provided the means to rationalize and normalize violence which has often contributed to the acceleration and expansion of war. Aimed at researchers and academics in the fields of accounting accounting history political management and sociology Accounting at War represents a unique and critical perspective to this cutting-edge research field. | Accounting at War The Politics of Military Finance

Higher Education Institutions and Digital Transformation Building University-Enterprise Collaborative Relationships

The growing complexity fluidity and instability of the environment as well as changing needs are challenges that both enterprises and higher education institutions must face. Higher education institutions understand that their key product i. e. knowledge is a value that can and should be offered to enterprises in a desirable form as a key to innovation and development as well as the basis of the necessary internal transformation to respond to requirements of our times. Attempts to explain the process of collaboration between higher education institutions and businesses based on an institutional perspective fail to capture the complexity of this process. The purpose of this book is to develop a model approach to managerial competencies that affect the innovativeness of enterprises and to identify internal and external key factors strengthening or limiting the impact of managerial competencies on the innovativeness of an enterprise including organizational structure strategy organizational culture and more. It will be of value to researchers academics and students in the fields of entrepreneurship innovation management strategy and will be particularly useful to organizations that are aware of their operating conditions in the knowledge-based economy and of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemics on the acceleration of the digital transformation of the contemporary world.

Out of Hiding Extremist White Supremacy and How It Can be Stopped

Out of Hiding Extremist White Supremacy and How It Can be Stopped

Out of Hiding: Extremist White Supremacy and How It Can Be Stopped explains how white supremacist extremism endures the varied forms it takes its relationship with systemic racism and what to do about it. The book draws on more than 30 years of extensive data and direct experiences with extremists to describe how white supremacy moved into the spotlight during the first two decades of the 21st century. The argument focuses on three moments between 2008 and today during which white supremacists took opportunities to move from pockets of underground activism to violent protests across the United States. The authors offer a corrective to observers who mischaracterize today’s racial extremism as a new form of ‘alt-right’ conservatism or ‘white nationalism’ emanating from an isolated poorly educated and economically disenfranchised online fringe. These misunderstandings reflect the limited attention given to the varied and persistent forms of racial extremism that have long simmered in America and an inability to acknowledge the appeal white supremacist messages can hold for a broad swath of the U. S. population. This volume contributes a longer view than other books to demonstrate that today’s white supremacy is less a unique eruption than a continuation –and an acceleration –of longstanding U. S. white supremacy. This is essential reading for scholars and activists interested in racism white supremacy and far-right extremism. | Out of Hiding Extremist White Supremacy and How It Can be Stopped

The Platform of Agile Management And the Program to Implement It

The Platform of Agile Management And the Program to Implement It

Facing the amplitude and the acceleration of changes management must also change and it must become alert adaptable and agile. The children of the Internet the likes of Google Amazon Facebook and Tesla are born agile and they challenge the traditional organizations that have long lost their original agility. The latter may have innovated externally i. e. on the market-oriented part of their organization. Yet internally their mindset their models and their methods have remained tightly trapped in traditional tenets. Confronted with the need for deep changes an increasing number of business-leaders launch change-management programs yet conceived and carried out in traditional ways up to 70% of them result in partial or total failure. Management cannot innovate itself it needs people with the right motivation and with the right mind-set. However stuck in the old system people can only keep working in the old ways and means. Thus the leadership must start by replacing a traditional system with a new and agile one which will unbridle entrepreneurship. The Platform of Agile Management and the Program to Implement It combines 3 principles that help to innovate thinking 3 paradigms to innovate behaviours and 3 practices to innovate and to accelerate actions. The proposed platform is comprehensive connective and congenial. It is implemented with an agile program that combines top down push by the leadership with the bottom up pulled by the people. Then the proposed platform will generate continuous improvements and innovations of the performance drivers. | The Platform of Agile Management And the Program to Implement It

Slow Knowledge and the Unhurried Child Time for Slow Pedagogies in Early Childhood Education

Slow Knowledge and the Unhurried Child Time for Slow Pedagogies in Early Childhood Education

This book explores the relationship with time in early childhood by arguing for the valuing of slow pedagogies and slow knowledge. Alison Clark points to alternative practices in Early Childhood Education and Care that enable a different pace and rhythm against the backdrop of the acceleration in early childhood and the proliferation of testing and measurement. Diverse approaches are explored to enable an ‘unhurried child’ and less hurried adults. Slow Knowledge and the Unhurried Child is divided in three parts. Part 1 Reasons to be slow looks at the pressures in Early Childhood Education and Care to speed up and for children to be ‘readied’ for the next stage. The book then explores different relationships with time for young children and educators. Part 2 Slow pedagogies and practices explore some of the forms slow practices can take including outdoors in the studio in everyday routines through stories in pedagogical documentation and in ‘slow’ research. Part 3 Moving forward shows what a ‘timefull’ approach to ECEC can look like whilst debating the challenges and possibilities that exist. The book serves as a catalyst for urgent discussion about the need to slow down in early childhood education and teacher education and explores case studies of where slow early childhood education are already happening. It will be a key reading for researchers practitioners and policy-makers about the relationship with time in early childhood and the importance of taking a longer view. | Slow Knowledge and the Unhurried Child Time for Slow Pedagogies in Early Childhood Education
