Strategic Planning Plus - Roger Kaufman - Bog - SAGE Publications Inc - Plusbog.dk

Describes in detail how to create a strategic plan to identify and meet the requirements of any organization. A solid survey of the techniques of the subject. --Long Range Planning "I′ve finally had an opportunity to read through (this) remarkable guide to strategic planning. (It has) indeed captured the critical elements of this important if messy process. All of this is, of course, applicable to universities, and some of it could even be done without causing riots and revolutions. Every one of us who does university administration should probably read your book, if only to recognize what we are not able to do for lack of good data and good analytical tools." --John V. Lombardi, President, University of Florida "Dr. Kaufman′s approach to strategic planning is new, different, and innovative . . . the target audience of middle managers and executives should find the book an important informational source for achieving organizational and societal objectives. Furthermore, it will probably provide some interesting dialogue at strategic planning sessions." --Melvin T. Stith, Ph.D., Dean, College of Business, Florida State University "Just when the detrimental effects of trendy, short-term, process-oriented management practices are beginning to dramatically weaken altogether too many organizations, along comes Strategic Planning Plus. This book is a solid, reality-based management guide. It is filled with helpful advice and procedures that can improve your odds of doing the right things and doing them well. Reading it will give you a new perspective on the importance and value of planning for organizational success. Putting it to work in your organization can be a driving force in your long-term success." --Wess Roberts, Ph.D., Author, Leadership Secrets of Attila the Hun "A fresh approach to a timeworn subject . . . I believe planning is something all managers would like to do better." --Peter Economy, Director of Administration Horizons Technology, Inc., San Diego, California Current strategic planning and development is often too myopic, and much more must be considered before practical planning is accomplished. Filled with fresh, new ideas and proven methods, Strategic Planning Plus covers strategic planning at three levels--micro, macro, and mega--and describes, in detail, how to create a strategic plan to identify and meet the requirements of any organization. This book shows how to identify the direction an organization must take, gives a six-step process for identifying and solving organizational problems, and provides methods for evaluating progress and revising strategic plans. Strategic Planning Plus also contains handy checklists, flowcharts, procedures, and case studies.

PLC+ - Dave Nagel - Bog - SAGE Publications Inc - Plusbog.dk

PLC+ - Dave Nagel - Bog - SAGE Publications Inc - Plusbog.dk

What makes a powerful and results-driven Professional Learning Community (PLC)? The answer is collaborative work that expands the emphasis on student learning and leverages individual teacher efficacy into collective teacher efficacy. PLC+: Better Decisions and Greater Impact by Design calls for strong and effective PLCs plus —and that plus is YOU . Until now, the PLC movement has been focused almost exclusively on students and what they were or were not learning. But keeping student learning at the forefront requires that we also recognize the vital role that you play in the equation of teaching and learning. This means that PLCs must take on two additional challenges: maximizing your individual expertise, while harnessing the power of the collaborative expertise you can develop with your peers. PLC+ is grounded in four cross-cutting themes—a focus on equity of access and opportunity, high expectations for all students, a commitment to building individual self-efficacy and the collective efficacy of the professional learning community and effective team activation and facilitation to move from discussion to action. The PLC+ framework supports educators in considering five essential questions as they work together to improve student learning: 1) 1) Where are we going? 1) 1) Where are we now? 1) 1) How do we move learning forward? 1) 1) What did we learn today? 1) 1) Who benefited and who did not benefit? 1) The PLC+ framework leads educators to question practices as well as outcomes. It broadens the focus on student learning to encompass educational equity and teaching efficacy, and, in doing so, it leads educators to plan and implement learning communities that maximize individual expertise while harnessing the power of collaborative efficacy.

Family Stress Management - Chalandra M. Bryant - Bog - SAGE Publications Inc - Plusbog.dk

Family Stress Management - Chalandra M. Bryant - Bog - SAGE Publications Inc - Plusbog.dk

Why do some families survive stressful situations while others fall apart? Can a family’s beliefs and values be used as a predictor of vulnerability to stress? And most importantly, can family stress be prevented? The Third Edition of Family Stress Management continues its original commitment to recognize both the external and internal contexts in which distressed families find themselves. With its hallmark Contextual Model of Family Stress (CMFS), the Third Edition provides practitioners and researchers with a useful framework to understand and help distressed individuals, couples, and families. The example of a universal stressor—a death in the family—highlights cultural differences in ways of coping. Throughout, there is new emphasis on diversity and the nuances of family stress management—such as ambiguous loss—plus new discussions on family resilience and community as resources for support.

Cultural Complexity in Organizations - - Bog - SAGE Publications Inc - Plusbog.dk

Cultural Complexity in Organizations - - Bog - SAGE Publications Inc - Plusbog.dk

The multiple perspectives through which culture is explored in this volume show that culture in organizational settings is more complex, pluralistic, diverse, and contradictory than previously acknowledged. Addressing culture at various levels including national, industrial, organizational, and suborganizational, Cultural Complexity in Organizations provides an extremely broad, yet concise, analysis representing the latest research. Some of the areas of focus are implicit managerial understandings and overt practices, the growth and decline of organizations with a focus on culture, managerial control strategies and the dynamics of subcultural formation, change, and temporary reconciliation, among others. Written by a multinational and multidisciplinary group of scholars, the contributions are based on case studies describing situations in an array of settings such as Samsung, a car plant in Slovenia, Hewlett-Packard, a Dutch amusement park, a U.S. software developer, and an airline (SAS), as well as examples from the not-for-profit sector. Using empirical data based on innovative and multi-method research approaches, Cultural Complexity in Organizations is an important reader that goes beyond description to make recommendations on how to better deal with cultural complexity in organizations. Recommended for students and professionals in organization studies, management, gender studies, sociology, and psychology.
