Diese Arbeit beschäftigt sich mit der Frage, ob ein Scrum Master, eine der Rollen des agilen Projektmanagements, in der öffentlichen Verwaltung sinnvoll eingesetzt werden kann. Auf Basis von Forschungsberichten, Fachliteratur und Interviews wird die Situation des Projektmanagements in der Verwaltung der Methode Scrum gegenübergestellt. Der Fokus liegt dabei auf den Einflussmöglichkeiten eines Scrum Masters und der Frage der Vereinbarkeit mit der spezifischen Projektumgebung im öffentlichen Dienst.

Understanding the role of vision and motivation in leadershipLeadership is a complex and multifaceted concept, involving a variety of factors and skills. However, two of the most important characteristics of effective leadership are vision and motivation.Vision is a clear and compelling image of the future that the leader shares with their followers. It is a goal that brings people together and inspires them to work towards a common purpose. Without a solid vision, leadership becomes directionless and ineffective.Motivation is the power that drives people to action. It ignites their passion, encourages them to perform at their best, and provides them with the perseverance they need to achieve their goals. A motivational leader fills their followers with confidence and enthusiasm, which can help them achieve even the impossible.Vision and motivation are closely linked. A solid vision is the source of motivation, while motivation provides people with the energy and commitment they need to realize the vision. Effective leadership is a balanced blend of these two elements.Here are some additional thoughts on the role of vision and motivation in leadership:· Vision provides a sense of purpose and direction. It gives people a reason to get up in the morning and work hard.· Motivation helps people overcome challenges. It gives them the strength to persevere in the face of adversity.· Vision and motivation can be contagious. When leaders are passionate about their vision and motivated to achieve it, they can inspire others to do the same.

Management research has traditionally assumed that leaders play an essential role in both public and private organizations and are required for a business to run smoothly. However, more recently, a vein of critical research has claimed that leaders can do more harm than good, creating confusion and putting their reputation before production and employee wellbeing. This book asks the question - what would happen if there were no leaders? Would employees be better off without formal (or informal) leaders? And even if such a utopia were desirable, would it be realizable in practice?

This book explores how a long-term innovation can take place based on historical analyses of the development of reverse osmosis (RO) membrane from the early 1950s to the mid-2010s. The RO membrane is a critical material for desalination that is a key to solve water shortages becoming serious in many places of the world.The authors conducted in-depth field studies as well as analyses of rich archival data to demonstrate how researchers, engineers, managers, entrepreneurs, and policymakers interacted each other for this material innovation to be realized. A series of historical analyses in this book uncovered that initial government supports, strategic niche markets, emergence of breakthrough technology, and company-specific rationales played significant roles for companies to overcome four types of uncertainty, technological, market, competition, and social/organizational ones, and enabled the companies to persistently invest in the development and commercialization of the RO membrane.This book depicts that innovation does not arise on a sudden, but that it is actualized through long lasting process with turns and twists, which is driven by many non-economic rationales beyond economic motives.

In this compelling journey into Digital Transformation (DT) tailored for Nonprofit Organizations (NPOs), this book unravels the intricacies of technological integration. Grounded in over one hundred years of extensive research by authors and the editor, real-world examples, and using the San Diego Diplomacy Council (SDDC) as a primary case study, it introduces a tailored Digital Maturity Model (DMM) for NPOs. At the heart of this transformation are three pivotal pillars: Culture, Ethics, and Security.Part I sets the stage, painting a landscape of how NPOs have intertwined with the digital realm. As technology's omnipresence surges, Chapter Two offers a panorama of DT's historical and contemporary intersections with the nonprofit sector. The subsequent chapter emphasizes the stark reality: for many NPOs, digital adaptation is no longer about relevance but survival.Part II delves into the comparative digital strategies of NPOs and their for-profitcounterparts in Chapter 4, highlighting the need for tailored approaches. Chapter 5 explores the Nonprofit Digital Maturity Model (NDMM), using the San Diego Diplomacy Council as a focal point. The journey then unfolds further in Chapter 6, which casts a spotlight on the strategic execution of DT in NPOs, weaving in comprehensive analyses to dissect the forces shaping an NPO's digital trajectory.Part III dives deeper, with Chapter 7 laying the foundation of the NDMM. The subsequent chapter meticulously unpacks the NDMM, culminating in Chapter 9, which emphasizes the pillars of DT¿Culture, Ethics, and Security¿forming the essence of the Nonprofit DT Strategic Framework (NDTSF). This chapter also crafts a tailored roadmap for NPOs, charting a comprehensive DT course.Concluding with a forward-looking stance, Chapter 10 thrusts readers into the enthralling fusion of AI and NPOs, exploring transformative potentials and ethical concerns. Through real-world cases, it positions AI as both a potent tool and a vital dialogue for NPOs. Essentially, this book equips NPOs with tools like the NDMM and insights from successful DT narratives.
