Book Synopsis Managing Conflict of Interest in the Public Sector by : Howard Whitton
Download or read book Managing Conflict of Interest in the Public Sector written by Howard Whitton and published by Org. for Economic Cooperation & Development. This book was released on 2005 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Conflicts of interest in both the public and private sectors have become a major matter of public concern world-wide. The OECD Guidelines define a conflict of interest as occurring when a public official has private-capacity interests which could improperly influence the performance of their official duties and responsibilities. However, identifying a specific conflict of interest in practice can be difficult. And resolving the conflicting interests appropriately in a particular case is something that most people find even more challenging. The Toolkit focuses on specific techniques, resources and strategies for: Identifying, managing and preventing conflict-of-interest situations more effectively; and Increasing integrity in official decision-making, which might be compromised by a conflict of interest. This Toolkit provides non-technical, practical help to enable officials to recognise problematic situations and help them to ensure that integrity and reputation are not compromised. The tools themselves are provided in generic form. They are based on examples of sound conflict-of-interest policy and practice drawn from various OECD member and non-member countries. They have been designed for adaptation to suit countries with different legal and administrative systems.

Book Synopsis The Early Information Society by : Alistair Black
Download or read book The Early Information Society written by Alistair Black and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-03-23 with total page 303 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Whether termed the 'network society', the 'knowledge society' or the 'information society', it is widely accepted that a new age has dawned, unveiled by powerful computer and communication technologies. Yet for millennia humans have been recording knowledge and culture, engaging in the dissemination and preservation of information. In `The Early Information Society', the authors argue for an earlier incarnation of the information age, focusing upon the period 1900-1960. In support of this they examine the history and traditions in Britain of two separate but related information-rich occupations - information management and information science - repositioning their origins before the age of the computer and identifying the forces driving their early development. `The Early Information Society' offers an historical account which questions the novelty of the current information society. It will be essential reading for students, researchers and practitioners in the library and information science field, and for sociologists and historians interested in the information society.

Book Synopsis Libraries as Dysfunctional Organizations and Workplaces by : Spencer Acadia
Download or read book Libraries as Dysfunctional Organizations and Workplaces written by Spencer Acadia and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2022-11-30 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Libraries as Dysfunctional Organizations and Workplaces expands the "dysfunctional" concept in the professional and academic LIS discourse by exposing the internal problematics of libraries, especially at the social and organizational levels. Including contributions written by LIS professionals and scholars, the book demonstrates that although many libraries do well at attending to users and managing external information they often fail at taking care of their own employees and addressing internal workplace issues. Acadia and the contributing authors explore the problem of dysfunctional libraries so that the LIS profession can come to terms with the systemic dysfunction in their institutions and begin solution-oriented progress toward new and sustainable functionality. The book analyzes the dysfunctional nature of modern libraries, while simultaneously proposing solutions to reduce and alleviate dysfunction. Through theory and application, it takes an explicit practice-based approach with the intent to inform and explain dysfunction as experienced in the library workplace at individual and structural levels and perspectives. Libraries as Dysfunctional Organizations and Workplaces brings the dysfunction discourse to the attention of LIS academics and scholars so that further theoretical and empirical research can proceed from and subsequently be addressed in library and information schools. The book will also be essential reading for librarians and LIS students currently working or preparing to work in public, college, and university libraries.

Book Synopsis Conflict Management in Libraries by : Syed Mohd Abbas
Download or read book Conflict Management in Libraries written by Syed Mohd Abbas and published by Ess Ess Publication. This book was released on 2009 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A good number of studies of conflict management have been conducted on India's industrial employees, managers, engineers, and executives. But, until now, no in-depth study of conflict management has been available for library professionals in India. This book examines the genesis of conflict and various methods applied by India's library professionals to manage conflict in libraries. Conflict management in libraries is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from the discipline of sociology, psychology, management, organizational behavior, and library and information science. The book offers valuable insights into librarians' conflict management strategies.
