Book excerpt: Based on an extended case-study in the Portuguese call centre sector, this book addresses the themes of the neoliberal economic restructuring of Southern European societies (with an emphasis on the emergence of the categories of precarity and the precariat), the historically and morally embedded nature of value-creation in service production regimes and emerging forms of commodification of the labouring subject in the neoliberal service economy. This book contributes towards: a) a broader moral critique of precarity, focused on scrutinising the links between the historical development of precarious neoliberal service regimes and context-bounded processes of moral dispossession; and, b) expanding current approaches to value extraction and subjectification in call centre work by jointly focusing on the alienable and inalienable properties that make a particular form of labour-power exploitable in an historical, moral and relational embedded reality.
Book Synopsis Alternative Discipline by : Neil A. G. McPhie
Download or read book Alternative Discipline written by Neil A. G. McPhie and published by DIANE Publishing. This book was released on 2009-05 with total page 59 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Alternative discipline is an approach to addressing misconduct that enables supervisors to consider the nature of the offense, and the personality of the employee, when crafting a response that has the greatest potential to help the employee to avoid future misconduct. For ex., Fed. supervisors have the authority to suspend an employee without pay if the employee misbehaves -- but what if the supervisor thinks another method may have a better chance of changing the employee¿s behavior? This report looks at what agencies are doing in this area. Few agencies have a formal policy on alternative discipline, and many agencies do not provide formal training or guidance. Agencies are encouraged to consider alternative discipline.

Book Synopsis Disciplined by Race by : Ki Joo Choi
Download or read book Disciplined by Race written by Ki Joo Choi and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2019-04-04 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What does it mean to be Asian American? Should Asian American identity be construed primarily in cultural terms or racial terms? And why should contemporary theology care about such questions? Disciplined by Race: Theological Ethics and the Problem of Asian American Identity reveals the critical importance of Asian American experience for contemporary theological debates on race. The book challenges readers to move beyond conventional perceptions of Asian Americans as model minorities and to confront the ways in which Asian Americans are socially restrained by whiteness. Rather than being insulated from the logics of white racism in the modern United States, being Asian American is tragically defined by those logics. Coming to grips with how Asian Americans are disciplined by race reveals the prospects for Asian American self-determination and raises the question of whether resistance to the social demands and allure of whiteness is realistically possible, for Asian Americans and non-Asian Americans alike.
Book Synopsis Disciplined Growth Strategies by : Peter S. Cohan
Download or read book Disciplined Growth Strategies written by Peter S. Cohan and published by Apress. This book was released on 2017-02-06 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Accelerate your company's growth in a disciplined fashion. This book provides leaders of large and small companies a proven comprehensive framework to think systematically about growth options and to yield practical strategies that produce faster growth. Drawing insights from case studies of successful and unsuccessful companies, strategy teacher and venture capitalist Peter Cohan models his systematic approach to brainstorming, evaluating, and implementing growth strategies across five dimensions: Customers, Geography, Products, Capabilities, Culture. He examines each of these five growth dimensions in turn, selecting and organizing his cases to compare the growth strategies deployed successfully and unsuccessfully by large and small companies along the given dimension. In each of his five dimensional chapters, the author derives from his case analyses the key principles and processes for creating and achieving faster growth. Professor Cohan draws on a network of hundreds of founders, CEOs, and investors developed through his decades of consulting, authorship of 11 books, and over five years as a Forbes columnist. He shows through many compelling stories how leaders craft effective growth strategies. Business leaders will learn the following lessons from this book: Achieving rapid but sustainable growth is a business leader’s most important responsibility – and leaders must approach this challenge with a mixture of vision, intellectual humility, and a willingness to experiment and learn from failure. The growth challenges facing companies that are currently growing quickly differ from the ones that stagnating or shrinking companies must overcome. Companies can achieve growth along one or more of the dimensions simultaneously – and they often expand geographically to customers in the same segments. Useful insights can emerge from comparing case studies of successful and unsuccessful companies pursuing similar growth strategies. Companies should select a growth strategy based on three factors: the attractiveness of the growth opportunity, the company’s capabilities to provide superior value to customers in the selected market, and the expected return on investment in the growth vector. Companies should select a growth strategy that best fits their capabilities and culture and they must enhance both to adapt to new growth opportunities. Who This Book Is For The people in companies who are responsible for growth: chief executive officers, chief marketing officers, chief product officers, heads of business development, product managers, sales people, and human resources managers

Book Synopsis The Manager's Guide to Discipline by : Derek Eccleston
Download or read book The Manager's Guide to Discipline written by Derek Eccleston and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-05-15 with total page 125 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For most managers, let alone the employees involved, the disciplinary process can be painful and embarrassing. Poor performance tends to be confused with misconduct and consequently carries the stigma of punishment; this despite the fact that most company policies and indeed the ACAS Code (correctly) put emphasis on improving behaviour or performance, rather than punishment. Derek Eccleston's concise guide provides a clear picture of the purpose and the process of the disciplinary procedure. This toolkit approach contains invaluable information and includes clear checklists and sample letters to help guide managers and supervisors through the minefield of employment rights, explaining what to do and how to do it. Written in a no nonsense way, The Manager's Guide to Discipline is free of legal jargon and focuses on the practical issues throughout. It will help to protect the organisation, whilst ensuring matters are dealt with, not left or brushed under the carpet because of a lack of management confidence. This essential reference will encourage managers to approach performance and disciplinary problems proactively and with more confidence and will significantly reduce the risk of getting it wrong.
Book Synopsis Reclaiming Discipline for Education by : James MacAllister
Download or read book Reclaiming Discipline for Education written by James MacAllister and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2016-10-26 with total page 167 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Discipline is of profound educational importance, both inside educational institutions and outside of them in personal and social life. Reclaiming Discipline for Education revisits neglected philosophical ideas about discipline in education and uses these ideas to re-think practices and discourses of discipline in education today. Chapters in this book trace the evolution of thought regarding discipline in education all the way from Kant through to Durkheim, Foucault, Peters, Dewey and Macmurray. MacAllister also critically examines the strengths and weaknesses of contemporary school discipline practices in the UK, the US and Australia, including behaviour management, zero tolerance and restorative approaches. The educational credentials of psychological constructs of grit and self-discipline are also questioned. This book concludes by considering the current and future state of discipline in education on the basis of the different philosophical, practical and policy perspectives discussed. In particular, MacAllister examines why it is problematic to consider practices of discipline in isolation from the wider purposes of education. This book is suitable for an international audience and should be read by anyone who is interested in education and educational leadership, as well as those interested in the philosophy of education.

Book Synopsis Corporate Takeover Law and Management Discipline by : Francis A Okanigbuan Jnr
Download or read book Corporate Takeover Law and Management Discipline written by Francis A Okanigbuan Jnr and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-12-06 with total page 215 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the effectiveness of corporate takeovers. The dominant ideologies of corporate takeovers include synergistic gains and its managerial disciplinary role. These dominant themes are being undermined by the challenges of costly acquisitions. The UK Takeover Code is a regulatory response to the role of managers of target companies only. Also, the regulatory framework for takeovers in the United States is largely focused on target companies. The book demonstrates that managements can influence the role of takeovers, thereby undermining its synergistic and disciplinary values. Presenting an identification and evaluation of the limits of current regulatory and judicial control over the role of management during takeovers in the UK and the US -Delaware, it will identify the relevance of institutional control as an effective mechanism for addressing the challenges of managerial influence over takeover functions. It will also identify how the role of managements can be addressed with the complementary benefit to shareholder and employee interests; thereby challenging the shareholder/ stakeholder primacy debate in corporate law, particularly in relation to takeovers. This book will be essential reading for scholars and students interested in the market for corporate control, corporate law and company law.
