Download or read book Developing Women Leaders in Corporate America written by Alan T. Belasen and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2012-02-22 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides research-based evidence within the Competing Values Framework to examine women's leadership styles, demonstrate their suitability for senior management positions, and show how employers must embrace women in leadership roles in order for their companies to be diversified and globalized. There is abundant proof that women in senior positions can make boardrooms "smarter" and companies more successful. And with a mastery of transformational and transactional roles, women possess a far larger behavioral repertoire to deal with stress than men—an advantage in any crisis situation. Even so, the glass ceiling still exists. Developing Women Leaders in Corporate America: Balancing Competing Demands, Transcending Traditional Boundaries focuses on the research-based Competing Values Framework (CVF), an organizing schema that enables leaders to assess empirically personal strengths and weaknesses, and analyze and manage organizational situations. Each chapter showcases concrete evidence of women's ability to succeed at the top levels of management and their skills that add value to employers, and then utilizes CVF to pinpoint specific challenges for women leaders and identify practical strategies for success. This book will enable women leaders and managers, employers, company executives, leadership development consultants, business educators, HR directors, and trainers to reduce stereotyping associated with women in male-populated careers. The author also explains why women, more than men, possess characteristics that help ensure success in international assignments.

Download or read book Cultural Sociology of Divorce written by Robert E. Emery and published by SAGE. This book was released on 2013-02-21 with total page 1625 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While the formal definition of divorce may be concise and straightforward (legal termination of a marital union, dissolving bonds of matrimony between parties), the effects are anything but, particularly when children are involved. The Americans for Divorce Reform estimates that "40 or possibly even 50 percent of marriages will end in divorce if current trends continue." Outside the U.S., divorce rates have markedly increased across developed countries. Divorce and its effects are a significant social factor in our culture and others. It might be said that a whole "divorce industry" has been constructed, with divorce lawyers and mediators, family counselors, support groups, etc. As King Henry VIII's divorces showed, divorce has not always been easy or accepted. In some countries, divorce is not permitted and even in Europe, countries such as Spain, Italy, Portugal, and the Republic of Ireland legalized divorce only in the latter quarter of the 20th century. This multi-disciplinary encyclopedia covers curricular subjects related to divorce as examined by disciplines ranging from marriage and the family to anthropology, social and legal history, developmental and clinical psychology, and religion, all through a lens of cultural sociology. Features: 550 signed entries, A-to-Z, fill 3 volumes (1,500 pages) in print and electronic formats, offering the most detailed reference work available on issues related to divorce, both in the U.S. and globally. Cross-References and Further Readings guide readers to additional resources. A Chronology provides students with context via a historical perspective of divorce. In the electronic version, the comprehensive Index combines with Cross-References and thematic Reader's Guide themes to provide convenient search-and-browse capabilities. For state and nation entries, uniform entry structure combined with an abundance of statistics facilitates comparison between and across states and nations. Appendices provide further annotated sources of data and statistics.

Download or read book Tourism in the Philippines written by Richard S. Aquino and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-10-06 with total page 179 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This edited volume serves as the second instalment of a two-part title that aims to provide an academic exploration of the contemporary issues and perspectives on tourism in the Philippines. With a strong geographical focus, and drawn from a range of inter/multidisciplinary approaches, this book aims to provide a timely and critical investigation of issues surrounding Philippine host communities, Filipino travellers, and foreign tourists to the country. This book will serve as a platform to engage with mostly Filipino scholars allowing them to present their voices and perspectives on a range of local tourism issues, in support of cultivating a ‘culture of research’ in the Philippine academia. This book is one of the first country-focused volumes under the series, Perspectives on Asian Tourism. This book is composed of contributions drawn from the works of Filipino academics based in the Philippines and overseas institutions researching tourism issues in the Philippines. This book's contributions are drawn from a diverse set of disciplines including, but not limited to sociology, anthropology, mass communications, feminist and gender studies, cultural studies, history, and tourism and hospitality studies. Comprising chapters based on conceptual and empirical research, this edited book is divided into four parts: first, an introduction to tourism and the Filipino culture and society; second, case studies on the dynamics and impacts of tourism in local communities; third, an investigation of tourists’ gaze and experiences of Philippine destinations; and fourth, Filipino researchers’ reflexive gaze upon events, festivals, and culinary heritage in a tourism context. This book provides a collection of previously unexplored facets of Philippine tourism, Filipina tourists, and host communities, and could become an essential reading for undergraduate and postgraduate students, researchers, educators and policy-makers in tourism.

Download or read book Japanese Tourism and Travel Culture written by Sylvie Guichard-Anguis and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2008-11-27 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines Japanese tourism and travel, both today and in the past, showing how over hundreds of years a distinct culture of travel developed, and exploring how this has permeated the perceptions and traditions of Japanese society. It considers the diverse dimensions of modern tourism including appropriation and consumption of history, nostalgia, identity, domesticated foreignness, and the search for authenticity and invention of tradition. Japanese people are one of the most widely travelling peoples in the world both historically and in contemporary times. What may be understood as incipient mass tourism started around the 17th century in various forms (including religious pilgrimages) long before it became a prevalent cultural phenomenon in the West. Within Asia, Japan has long remained the main tourist sending society since the beginning of the 20th century when it started colonising Asian countries. In 2005, some 17.8 million Japanese travelled overseas across Europe, Asia, the South Pacific and America. In recent times, however, tourist demands are fast growing in other Asian countries such as Korea and China. Japan is not only consuming other Asian societies and cultures, it is also being consumed by them in tourist contexts. This book considers the patterns of travelling of the Japanese, examining travel inside and outside the Japanese archipelago and how tourist demands inside influence and shape patterns of travel outside the country. Overall, this book draws important insights for understanding the phenomenon of tourism on the one hand and the nature of Japanese society and culture on the other.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An accessible, timely, and stimulating introduction to the sociology of gender, The Kaleidoscope of Gender: Prisms, Patterns, and Possibilities, Third Edition, provides a comprehensive analysis of key ideas, theories, and applications in this field as viewed through the metaphor of a kaleidoscope. This collection of creative articles by top scholars explains how the complex, evolving pattern of gender is constructed interpersonally, institutionally, and culturally and challenges students to question how gender shapes their daily lives. Like the prior edition, the Third Edition maintains a focus on contemporary contributions to the field while incorporating classical and theoretical arguments to provide a broad framework. Integrating a cross-cultural focus and intersectional inquiry, this unique text/reader vividly illustrates that gender is a malleable continuum of prisms, patterns, and possibilities.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: English summary: This book is both a study about the Socratic-Platonic conception of a good life, and an analytical study on self-knowledge, self-determination, and moral motivation. In the first part of his book, the author provides a detailed analysis of arguments from The Apology, Protagoras, Laches, Meno, Gorgias, Charmides, Republic, and Phaedo. For Socrates, the life we ought to live is the good life (or happiness, eudaimonia); the life we want to live - once we know what it means to live - is a good life. The good life requires the knowledge of human well-being, which is to be acquired by way of questioning ourselves and examining our and others' beliefs. An agent who possesses this knowledge pursues three general, supreme goals: she wants to know the particular action, which is all-things-considered in a present situation the best means to her happiness; she wants to act on her knowledge; and she does not want to harm other people. Hardy defends a non-reductive reading of Socratic intellectualism: The knowledge about human well-being is a comprehensiveuboth theoretical, and practical, knowledge, which encompasses all the relevant mental capacities and abilities of a person. In the second part of the book, the author presents a theory of self-knowledge, self-determination, and moral motivation on the basis of his interpretation of the Socratic conception of virtue. German text. German description: Wie ware es, ein nachdenkliches und gedanklich selbst-bestimmtes Leben zu fuhren - ein Leben, das von einem moglichst genauen und moglichst tauschungsresistenten Wissen uber die eigene Person bestimmt ist? Diese Frage wird in dieser Studie im Blick auf die Platonische Philosophie sowie im Blick auf zeitgenossische, systematische Fragen erortert. Wenn wir ein gelingendes Leben fuhren wollen, sollten wir Sokrates zufolge drei allgemeine, vorrangige, modale Ziele verfolgen: das Verfugen uber Wissen bzw. gerechtfertigte Meinungen, das von Wissen bestimmte Wollen und das moralische Wollen. Um diese Ziele erreichen zu konnen, brauchen wir ein komplexes handlungsleitendes Wissen uber das gelingende Leben. Der Autor nennt es das eudamonistische Wissen. In dem ersten Hauptteil der Studie wird das eudamonistische Wissen erlautert. Interpretiert werden Argumente aus Apologie, Protagoras, Laches, Menon, Gorgias, Charmides, Politeia und Phaidon. Zwei wesentliche Elemente eines gelingenden Lebens sind Selbsterkenntnis und gedankliche Selbstbestimmung. In dem zweiten Hauptteil der Studie wird der Versuch einer systematischen Interpretation der sokratischen Konzeption unternommen: Wie haben wir uns den menschlichen Geist vorzustellen, um den Zusammenhang zwischen Selbst-erkenntnis und gedanklicher Selbstbestimmung zu verstehen? Welchen Beitrag leisten Selbsterkenntnis und Selbstbestimmung zur moralischen Einstellung?
