Book Synopsis Networks, Knowledge Brokers, and the Public Policymaking Process by : Matthew S. Weber
Download or read book Networks, Knowledge Brokers, and the Public Policymaking Process written by Matthew S. Weber and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-11-03 with total page 412 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Social network analysis provides a meaningful lens for advancing a more nuanced understanding of the communication networks and practices that bring together policy advocates and practitioners in their day-to-day efforts to broker evidence into policymaking processes. This book advances knowledge brokerage scholarship and methodology as applied to policymaking contexts, focusing on the ways in which knowledge and research are utilized, and go on to influence policy and practice decisions across domains, including communication, health and education. There is a growing recognition that knowledge brokers – key intermediaries – have an important role in calling attention to research evidence that can facilitate the successful implementation of evidence-informed policies and practices. The chapters in this volume focus explicitly on the history of knowledge brokerage research in these contexts and the frameworks and methodologies that bridge these disparate domains. The contributors to this volume offer useful typologies of knowledge brokerage and explicate the range of causal mechanisms that enable knowledge brokers’ influence on policymaking. The work included in this volume responds to this emerging interest by comparing, assessing, and delineating social network approaches to knowledge brokerage across domains. The book is a useful resource for students and scholars of social network analysis and policymaking, including in health, communication, public policy and education policy.

Book Synopsis Semantics-based information brokering by : Vipul Kashyap
Download or read book Semantics-based information brokering written by Vipul Kashyap and published by . This book was released on 1994 with total page 30 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: "The rapid advances in computer and communication technologies, and their merger, is leading to a global information market place. It will consist of federations of very large number [sic] of information systems that will cooperate to varying extents to support the users' information needs. We propose an architecture which may facilitate meeting these needs. It consists of three main components: information providers, information brokers and information consumers. We also propose an approach to information brokering. We discuss two of it's [sic] tasks: information resource discovery, which identifies relevant information sources for a given query, and query processing, which involves the generation of appropriate mapping from relevant but structurally heterogeneous objects. Query processing consists of information focusing and information correlation. While the access-based search, and syntactic and hierarchical information organization has been adequate in the past, information brokering in presence of huge digital libraries or millions of information sources will likely require semantics and information-content based search and structuring of information. Our approach is based on: semantic proximity, which represents semantic similarities based on the context of comparison, and schema correspondences which are used to represent structural mappings and are associated with the context. The context of comparison of the two objects is the primary vehicle to represent the semantics for determining semantic proximity. Specifically, we use a context to capture the semantics in terms of the meaning and/or the use of an object. Using a partial context representation, we capture the assumptions in the intended use of the objects and the intended meaning of the user query. Information focusing is supported by subsequent context comparison. The same mechanism can be used to support information resource discovery. Context comparison leads to changes in schema correspondences that are used to support information correlation."

Book Synopsis The Honest Broker by : Roger A. Pielke, Jr
Download or read book The Honest Broker written by Roger A. Pielke, Jr and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2007-04-19 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Scientists have a choice concerning what role they should play in political debates and policy formation, particularly in terms of how they present their research. This book is about understanding this choice, what considerations are important to think about when deciding, and the consequences of such choices for the individual scientist and the broader scientific enterprise. Rather than prescribing what course of action each scientist ought to take, the book aims to identify a range of options for individual scientists to consider in making their own judgments about how they would like to position themselves in relation to policy and politics. Using examples from a range of scientific controversies and thought-provoking analogies from other walks of life, The Honest Broker challenges us all - scientists, politicians and citizens - to think carefully about how best science can contribute to policy-making and a healthy democracy.
Book Synopsis Brokers of Public Trust by : Laurie Nussdorfer
Download or read book Brokers of Public Trust written by Laurie Nussdorfer and published by JHU Press. This book was released on 2009-11-16 with total page 370 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A fast-growing legal system and economy in medieval and early modern Rome saw a rapid increase in the need for written documents. Brokers of Public Trust examines the emergence of the modern notarial profession—free market scribes responsible for producing original legal documents and their copies. Notarial acts often go unnoticed, but they are essential to understanding the history of writing practices and attitudes toward official documentation. Based on new archival research, Brokers of Public Trust focuses on the government officials, notaries, and consumers who regulated, wrote, and purchased notarial documents in Rome between the 14th and 18th centuries. Historian Laurie Nussdorfer chronicles the training of professional notaries and the construction of public archives, explaining why notarial documents exist, who made them, and how they came to be regarded as authoritative evidence. In doing so, Nussdorfer describes a profession of crucial importance to the people and government of the time, as well as to scholars who turn to notarial documents as invaluable and irreplaceable historical sources. This magisterial new work brings fresh insight into the essential functions of early modern Roman society and the development of the modern state.
Book Synopsis Data Brokers by : Federal Trade Commission
Download or read book Data Brokers written by Federal Trade Commission and published by Createspace Independent Pub. This book was released on 2015-03-11 with total page 110 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this report, the Federal Trade Commission discusses the results of an in-depth study of nine data brokers. These data brokers collect personal information about consumers from a wide range of sources and provide it for a variety of purposes, including verifying an individual's identity, marketing products, and detecting fraud. Because these companies generally never interact with consumers, consumers are often unaware of their existence, much less the variety of practices in which they engage. By reporting on the data collection and use practices of these nine data brokers, which represent a cross-section of the industry, this report attempts to shed light on the data broker industry and its practices. For decades, policymakers have expressed concerns about the lack of transparency of companies that buy and sell consumer data without direct consumer interaction. Indeed, the lack of transparency among companies providing consumer data for credit and other eligibility determinations led to the adoption of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ("FCRA"), a statute the Commission has enforced since its enactment in 1970. The FCRA covers the provision of consumer data by consumer reporting agencies where it is used or expected to be used for decisions about credit, employment, insurance, housing, and similar eligibility determinations; it generally does not cover the sale of consumer data for marketing and other purposes. While the Commission has vigorously enforced the FCRA, 1 since the late 1990s it has also been active in examining the practices of data brokers that fall outside the FCRA.

Book Synopsis The Competent Broker by : Reuben Moore
Download or read book The Competent Broker written by Reuben Moore and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2020-06-02 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Competence is a choice. In the business of real estate brokerage, this is an absolute. Brokers have a duty to their clients to be competent. A duty of competence. How on earth can one act in the best interest of a client if one does not know how to achieve that best interest? Or worse, does not care enough to know? So competence is a character trait and a function of integrity. It is not that brokers choose to be incompetent. But they do choose to focus their attention elsewhere. Competence simply falls by the wayside. Unnoticed and unattended. There is an unwritten rule that we should not criticize our competitors. We all know this rule: It is unprofessional to badmouth our competitors. It serves no purpose and only makes us look small-minded. But in a book subtitled, Seeking Competence and Integrity in the Real Estate Business, it is important to point out that our purpose here is not to create a good professional impression, nor is it to demonstrate proper business comportment. Rather, the purpose of this book is to help you find and identify competence and integrity in an often murky field. Brokers have two primary jobs: Client Acquisition and Conveying Real Property. These two jobs involve entirely different skill sets. The type of person who is good at either one of these jobs is almost always not the type of person who is good at the other. Many very successful brokers are quite brilliant at client acquisition, but not terribly competent at conveying real property. To be successful in the real estate business, it is vital to have, or to generate, a stream of potential clients. In fact, this is so important that brokers will concentrate their time, effort, & money, on this aspect of the business to the detriment of all others. What you find is that the people who are most adept at this, do best in the business. And this does not go unnoticed by their colleagues. As a consequence, transactional competence suffers industry-wide. Why become a better negotiator when you can make more money prospecting? Why learn basic accounting, why keep up with contract & paperwork changes, the law, building techniques, technology, etc. The whole range of knowledge & expertise that is useful for serving clients. The customer service aspect of brokerage, the hands-on business of conveying real property, requires transactional competence. And most brokers just do not have it. Why? Because it is not important to them. The result is Greham's Law for Real Estate: The incompetent, low integrity brokers drive out the competent, high integrity brokers. Those brokers who focus on client acquisition drive out the brokers who focus on conveying real property. Of course, all brokers proclaim competence and integrity. Our goal is to determine what these qualities look like and how to find them. We cover: Broker motivations & incentives Dual agency Coaches & scripts Best practices Business models Value propositions Marketing myths Negotiation We introduce Rhinestone Cowboys, Gunslingers, and George Baileys This book is for: People who are thinking about entering the market either as buyers or sellers or both. First time buyers or sellers. Or, perhaps you have had a less-than-ideal experience in the past. And now, you are seeking a better experience. People thinking about getting a real estate license, or newly-minted brokers just finding your way. Hopefully you will read this work along side of more conventional material. And you can judge the probity of this work for yourself. Disaffected brokers, who see the business clearly. Perhaps you are dissatisfied with the status quo and are seeking a better way. I hope you will find this work candid and refreshing. Yes, there is an alternative. Come, help me make a difference.
Book Synopsis Investor and Industry Perspectives on Investment Advisers and Broker-dealers by : Angela A. Hung
Download or read book Investor and Industry Perspectives on Investment Advisers and Broker-dealers written by Angela A. Hung and published by Rand Corporation. This book was released on 2008 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In theory, financial professionals are relatively distinct: A broker conducts transactions in securities on behalf of others; a dealer buys and sells securities for his or her own accounts; and an investment adviser provides advice to others regarding securities. Broker-dealers and investment advisers are subject to different regulatory structures. But trends in the financial services market since the early 1990s have blurred the boundaries between them. Regulatory reform requires a clearer understanding of the industry's complexities. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission asked RAND to conduct this study to examine the professionals' current business practices and whether investors understand differences between and relationships among them. The report describes a heterogeneous industry, with firms taking many different forms and offering a multitude of services and products and with investors failing to distinguish broker-dealers and investment advisers along regulatory lines. Despite this, investors express high levels of satisfaction with the services they receive from their own financial service providers. This satisfaction was much more frequently reported to arise from the personal attention the investor receives than from the actual financial returns arising from this relationship.
Book Synopsis On Intelligent Brokering of Web-based Computational Services by : Atip Asvanund
Download or read book On Intelligent Brokering of Web-based Computational Services written by Atip Asvanund and published by . This book was released on 1998 with total page 15 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: "The Web has enabled the creation of large, specialized virtual respositories [sic]. Brokers mediate user access to the repository by matching user needs to the capabilities of the content in the repository. As might be expected, the specific manner in which this brokering takes place depends on the nature of the content within the repository. In this paper, we focus on the brokering of specialized types of computational services, namely management science models, data and solution algorithms. In this domain, in response to a user query, the broker identifies a collection of resources and assembles them -- taking precedence and other constraints into account -- for execution. With the objective of specifying such a broker, we develop three models in this paper: a meta model of the computational resources, a model of the user query and a model of the brokering task which has to develop a response to the query."
Book Synopsis Brokerage and Closure by : Ronald S. Burt
Download or read book Brokerage and Closure written by Ronald S. Burt and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2007-09-06 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Social Capital, the advantage created by location in social structure, is a critical element in business strategy. Who has it, how it works, and how to develop it have become key questions as markets, organizations, and careers become more and more dependent on informal, discretionary relationships. The formal organization deals with accountability; Everything else flows through the informal: advice, coordination, cooperation friendship, gossip, knowledge, trust. Informal relations have always been with us, they have always mattered. What is new is the range of activities in which they now matter, and the emerging clarity we have about how they create advantage for certain people at the expense of others. This is done by brokerage and closure. Ronald S. Burt builds upon his celebrated work in this area to explore the nature of brokerage and closure. Brokerage is the activity of people who live at the intersection of social worlds, who have a vision advantage of seeing and developing good ideas, an advantage which can be seen in their compensation, recognition, and the responsibility they're entrusted with in comparison to their peers. Closure is the tightening of coordination in a closed network of people, and people who do this do well as a complement to brokers because of the trust and alignment they create. Brokerage and Closure explores how these elements work together to define social capital, showing how in the business world reputation has come to replace authority, pursued opportunity assignment, and reward has come to be associated with achieving competitive advantage in a social order of continuous disequilibrium.
Book Synopsis Language Brokering in Immigrant Families by : Robert S. Weisskirch
Download or read book Language Brokering in Immigrant Families written by Robert S. Weisskirch and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2017-03-27 with total page 329 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Language Brokering in Immigrant Families: Theories and Contexts brings together an international group of researchers to share their findings on language brokering—when immigrant children translate for their parents and other adults. Given the large amount of immigration occurring worldwide, it is important to understand how language brokering may support children’s and families’ acculturation to new countries. The chapter authors include overviews of the existing literature, insights from multiple disciplines, the potential benefits and drawbacks to language brokering, and the contexts that may influence children, adolescents, and emerging adults who language broker. With the latest findings, the authors theorize on how language brokering may function and the outcomes for those who do so.
