Book Synopsis Library Project Funding by : Julie Carpenter
Download or read book Library Project Funding written by Julie Carpenter and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2014-01-23 with total page 235 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Managers and staff in libraries and information services in all sectors are increasingly required to prepare project proposals and bid for funding, usually for external funding, but also as part of internal strategic planning and management processes. The projects proposed must be realistic and feasible, because library managers and staff will be required to deliver their project on time and in budget. If managers get the planning wrong at project proposal stage, the consequences for implementation can be difficult to overcome. This book provides guidance on the various steps involved in project development, planning and the preparation of bids for funding based on the author's own experience and that of many organisations in the cultural heritage and education sectors. It guides service managers and staff through the task of scoping, developing and writing viable, realistic and winning proposals, drawing on a range of techniques from strategic planning, financial management, project management and business. - Uses practical, up-to-date examples relevant to the cultural heritage sector - Different methodologies: for example - preparing business plans, evaluation; planning cost and time/effort inputs - Templates and checklists for writing effective proposals

Book Synopsis The Transatlantic Dialogue on Higher Education by : Ulla Kriebernegg
Download or read book The Transatlantic Dialogue on Higher Education written by Ulla Kriebernegg and published by Logos Verlag Berlin GmbH. This book was released on 2011 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Comparing apples and oranges frequently, this is what we do when we talk about similarities and differences regarding higher education in the United States and Europe. Based on the assumption that higher education policy texts are cultural texts to be interpreted, this book deconstructs four US American cultural narratives within higher education (co-opetition, the frontier myth, McDonaldization, and the narrative of security), and compares these to discourses prevailing in Europe. Disputing the prevalent claim that both the recent European higher education transformation initiative, the Bologna Process, and the establishment of the European Higher Education Area (EHEA) have had absolutely no impact on US institutions of higher learning, this study proves that cultural narratives in the last decade have strongly determined political and structural developments in higher education on both sides of the Atlantic. This book therefore adds another facet to the transatlantic dialogue on higher education by providing a cultural critical perspective, including the Foucauldian theory of governmentality as well as aspects of postcolonial theory.

Book Synopsis Complexity and Sustainability in Megaprojects by : Edoardo Favari
Download or read book Complexity and Sustainability in Megaprojects written by Edoardo Favari and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023-05-31 with total page 341 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book showcases the discussion about megaprojects carried out at the MeRIT (Megaproject Research Interdisciplinary Team) workshop 2022: the crisis, discontinuity, rising prices, and supply chains disruption force radical reflection for those involved in megaprojects. It raises a modern-day challenge, the creation of value for stakeholders. Indeed, the aim of the volume is to encourage readers to think more broadly, articulately and less stringently than the mainstream claims. There is a need to design, implement, and manage megaprojects by abandoning the old paradigm that leveraged solely on time and cost. We need to move beyond that by going to explore the value generated, the positive impact on people, communities and territories. Economic, social and environmental sustainability takes on a new and broader articulation: issues of the circular economy applied to megaprojects are addressed and ample space is ensured for the inclusion of social needs in current practices.
Book Synopsis Partnership in Higher Education by : Emnet Tadesse Woldegiorgis
Download or read book Partnership in Higher Education written by Emnet Tadesse Woldegiorgis and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2019-09-16 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Trends in institutional partnership in higher education have shown tremendous growth in the past three decades. These trends are manifested through the growing initiatives of joint programs that promote collaborative research, academic mobility, joint curriculum development and course delivery, joint bidding for development projects and benchmarking. Partnerships in higher education have been used not only as an instrument for institutional development through a wide range of strategic alliances but also as an essential way of introducing new voices to the operations of the universities by initiating new paradigms that bring new perspectives and bear competitive advantage on the partners. As the trend of partnership in higher education grew, scholars in higher education studies have also engaged in conceptualizing higher education partnership from academic perspectives, analyzing trends and developing models of higher education collaborations. Partnership in Higher Education: Trends between African and European Institutions is a pioneer in bringing together a comprehensive perspective on matters of higher education partnership among African and European institutions. It discusses the ongoing debates on higher education partnership and internationalization strategies by providing empirical insights from various case studies.
