Organizations often declare that their biggest asset is their people. As such, business leaders make constant efforts to hire the best talent - and to get the best out of their workers. But a confluence of forces is reshaping all aspects of talent management. A war for talent rages and will be exacerbated in the long-term by demographic aging; the half-life of skills is decreasing as AI powers more parts of business workflows; flexible and hybrid work models are becoming commonplace; and management methods focused on measurement and efficiency are not sufficient for engaging a purpose-seeking generation. In these turbulent times, CEOs and their entire teams - not just HR - need to rethink how they can create a people advantage, going beyond traditional approaches to organization, performance management, and compensation. This book - a collection of recent essays written by researchers at the BCG Henderson Institute, Boston Consulting Group's think tank - aims to help leaders to reinvent work by providing a forward-looking perspective on all aspects of talent management. Across five chapters, the book discusses How to attract the talent of the future How to shape the workforce in an evolving context How to embrace new models of work How to build the workplace of the future How to establish new models of leadership and culture By providing a combination of new ideas, real-world examples, and concrete recommendations, Reinventing Work serves as a guide for leaders to effectively navigate the changing nature of work.

Im Jahr 2024 wird der 250. Geburtstag Caspar David Friedrichs gefeiert. Für seinen internationalen Ruhm waren vor allem drei große Retrospektiven in den 1970er Jahren in London, Hamburg und Dresden ausschlaggebend. Dieser Band untersucht erstmals vertiefend ihre Rolle für die Rezeption des Künstlers ebenso wie für die Betrachtung des Phänomens ,Romantik'. Er setzt sie in Bezug zu (kultur-)politischen Kontexten der Zeit und erschließt bislang wenig beachtetes Quellenmaterial für weiterführende Forschung. Die Autorin untersucht außerdem, warum gerade Ausstellungen als von vielfältigen Aushandlungsprozessen bestimmtes Format entscheidende Impulse für die Rezeption von Künstler/-innen zu geben vermögen, und weshalb sie stärker in eine kritische Wissens- und Wissenschaftsforschung einbezogen werden sollten.

Family businesses play a pivotal role in the global economy, and their successful development is of utmost importance. This first volume of the Contemporary Issues in Family Business Entrepreneurship series, focuses on the topic of family business transformation, which is causing drastic changes in companies' strategies and business models. Decisions to adapt or change family business strategy and/or the business model are always associated with risk. Family Business Transformation integrates work on the broad topics of transformation, strategy development, business model development, with the study of family businesses to provide family business owners, managers and entrepreneurs much-needed recommendations from best practice examples and/or empirical findings that can support decision-making in regard to the future direction of their companies. This book calls for a specialized examination of the social interactions among stakeholders, substantially expanding classical management theory. Scholars of family business, entrepreneurship and strategic management, institutional libraries and postgraduate students will find it an essential read and benefit from its insights.

Companies in developing countries are adopting Artificial Intelligence applications to increase efficiency and open new markets for their products. This book explores the multifarious capabilities and applications of AI in the context of these emerging economies and its role as a driver for decision making in current management practices. Artificial Intelligence Enabled Management argues that the economic problems facing academics, professionals, managers, governments, businesses and those at the bottom of the economic pyramid have a technical solution that relates to AI. Businesses in developing countries are using cutting-edge AI-based solutions to improve autonomous delivery of goods and services, implement automation of production and develop mobile apps for services and access to credit. By integrating data from websites, social media and conventional channels, companies are developing data management platforms, good business plans and creative business models. By increasing productivity, automating business processes, financial solutions and government services, AI can drive economic growth in these emerging economies. Public and private sectors can work together to find innovative solutions that simultaneously alleviate poverty and inequality and increase economic mobility and prosperity. The thought-provoking contributions in this book also bring attention to new barriers that have emerged in the acceptance, use, integration and deployment of AI by businesses in developing countries and explore the often-overlooked drawbacks of AI adoption that can hinder or even cause value loss. The book is a must-read for policymakers, researchers, and anyone interested in understanding the critical role of AI in the emerging economy perspective.

Im 19. Jahrhundert trat die Genealogie als führende Methode hervor, historisch wandelbare Systeme wie z.B. Sprachen, biologische Arten, Religionen und sogenannte "Rassen" zu organisieren. Genealogisches Denken bestimmt Begriffe durch ihre Differenzierung von anderen. Das ist ein Verfahren, das keine Singularitäten, sondern nur Verwandtschaftsnetze hervorbringt. In solchen Systemen wirken Geschwisterbegriffe , also benachbarte Begriffe, die weder identisch noch absolut verschieden sind, als aktive Störungszone. Sie sind für einander nötig, aber auch destabilisierend. Engelstein verbindet eine weitreichende Geistesgeschichte mit detaillierten Analysen aus den neuen Disziplinen der Lebens- und Humanwissenschaften und bezieht sich dabei unter anderem auf literarische Werke von Goethe, Schiller, Percy Shelley, George Eliot, Richard Wagner, und Thomas Mann. Sie erläutert die Folgen dieses Paradigmawechsels für die Auffassung von Subjektivität, Staats- und Wirtschaftswissenschaft und für die Klassifizierung von Menschen, ob biologisch oder philologisch. Das Buch bietet eine neue Theorie über die Struktur modernen Wissens: Eine Theorie, die die Grenzen von Subjektivität und Gruppenidentitäten durchlässig macht, um eine Grundlage für flexiblere Formen von Zugehörigkeit, Selbstidentifizierung, und Wissensbildung zu erschaffen.

The fourteenth volume of the Correspondance générale contains over 400 letters dating from 1825 and 1826. As the reign of Charles X begins, Constant continues to work on De la religion, while engaging in the political struggles against the reactionary turn of domestic politics, thinking afresh about societal issues and supporting the Greeks in their fight for independence.

Research on late antique and early medieval migrations has long acknowledged the importance of interdisciplinarity. The field is constantly nourished by new archaeological discoveries that allow for increasingly refined pictures of socio-economic development. Yet the perspectives adopted by historians and archaeologists are frequently different, and so are their conclusions. Diverging views exist in respect to varying geographical areas and scholarly traditions too. This volume brings together history and archaeology to address the impact of the inflow and outflow of migrations on the rural landscape, the creation of new settlement patterns, and the role of migrations and mobility in transforming society and economy. Such themes are often investigated under a regional or macro-regional viewpoint, resulting in too fragmented an understanding of a widespread phenomenon. Spanning Eastern and Western Europe, the book takes steps toward an integrated picture of territories normally investigated as separate entities, and critically establishes grounds for new comparisons and models on late antique and early medieval transformations.

The term nutraceuticals is applied to the products isolated from the herbal sources, nutrients or dietary supplements, processed foods, (cereals, soup and beverages) and specific diets, that may also used as medicine other than nutrition. It usually refers to the foods derived products which may sell in medicinal form, possessing physiological benefits to the host while promoting health and wellness and provide protection against chronic disorders. They may also increase the life expectancy, delay the aging and/or support the structure and function of the body organs. Demand for nutraceuticals with potential to prevent and treat chronic disorders has been interestingly increasing over the past few years. Based on food sources, nutraceuticals are classified into dietary fibers, probiotics, prebiotics, polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), vitamins, polyphenols and spices. A dietary supplement is generally considered as product containing vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and medicinal plants that are indented to be used to supplement the diet or a concentrate, metabolite, constituent, extract, or combinations of these ingredients. Broadly, nutraceuticals are any of these ingredients or supplements using for health purposes other than nutrition. This book on the fundamentals of Nutraceuticals is organized in two parts i.e., the introductory aspects of macro- and micro-nutrients, gut microbiota regulation, nutraceuticals and drug interactions, while the second part is focusing on the biological benefits of nutraceuticals in different disease states. Besides, this book is also addressing the safety aspects of nutraceuticals and phytotherapeutic support in pregnancy. Including contributions from the experts in the field, target audience (pharmacists, nutritionists, other healthcare providers, and researchers in food and nutrition sector) will be benefited with the updated literature on nutraceuticals and dietary supplements.

Digital technology has revolutionized connectivity, but it has also overcome spatial obstacles that used to shield people from subjugating gazes and unlimited exercise of power. The home as an auratic space is dead, and this alienation has hindered our democratic capacities and created complex crises. The Death of Home aims to intellectually engage readers via enhancing spatial literacy to critically confront today's crises.

Athenaeus' Deipnosophists (The Learned Banqueters) is a major Imperial period Greek text in and of itself, but also a source of thousands of fragments by hundreds of authors, many of whom would otherwise be entirely unknown to us. This is the first full new critical edition of the text since that of Georg Kaibel well over a hundred years ago. Kaibel's text is outdated in many ways, including the fact that he undervalued the Epitome manuscripts, which he thought had no independent significance for the constitution of the text. The new edition is based on a full collation of the manuscripts, including not just Venetus Marcianus 447 (A, the sole surviving witness to the complete text) and the various Epitome manuscripts, but also a number of 15th-century hybrid versions of Athenaeus already known in Kaibel's time but ignored by him. Systematic review of the latter set of manuscripts, as well as of early editions also ignored by Kaibel, has allowed numerous conjectures to be reassigned, radically altering our sense of the Early Modern history of the text. A separate, parallel edition of the Epitome is also included. This now becomes the standard text of the Deipnosophistae and a basic reference work.

Leadership is in crisis. Scandals are commonplace, only 20% of employees claim they trust their leaders, two in three think politicians are only motivated by self-interest, three-quarters of firms say they don't have the leadership bench that they need today, and major societal problems are not being resolved. In the context of this scenario, this book answers two important questions: What skills do you need to be successful as a leader today that are different from those required previously? How can you develop these differentiating skills and mindsets? The antidote to the crisis of leadership lies in four attributes: Aspire: Make clear personal choices of what purpose to pursue, what values to resolutely promote and which stakeholder interests to represent. Ally: Form mutually respectful, supportive relationships with others within and beyond the organisation. Adapt: Navigate through turbulence, flexing the enterprise and flowing resources to the priority issues. Accelerate: Continually learn to remain relevant and heighten impact. Antidote to the Crisis of Leadership is replete with quotes, vignettes and encouragement contributed by over 50 leaders from a broad variety of backgrounds, sectors, and countries. Each chapter includes commentary, draws on the most relevant theory and reference texts and concludes with suggested exercises to increase your impact.
