AQ fördert das Führen. Dies und was diese Förderung ausmacht, zeigen verschiedene Studien. AQ ist die Bezeichnung für ein Bündel von Fähigkeiten und Fertigkeiten von Mitarbeitenden, deren Leistungen auch in unsicheren und komplexen Situationen konstant und stark sind. Auch wenn AQ nicht in einem wörtlichen Gegensatz zum IQ steht, so kann AQ doch als eine sehr treffende Interpretation der für das 21. Jahrhundert relevanten mentalen Fähigkeiten angesehen werden. AQ hat fünf Dimensionen, deren Wirkweise in den Kapiteln mit direkten Tools und Tipps verknüpft werden, um AQ Leadership von der Forschung in die Praxis zu transferieren.

Every industry has faced the tidal wave of "digital" that has either re-shaped or dramatically altered their modus operandi. Supporting technologies in the management information systems arena have given rise to increased end to end visibility, real time access to information, and tightly controlled monitoring of deployed assets. In many industries it is straightforward to see the impact that digital technologies have had. Finance is a great example, with cash payments becoming increasingly less and less common, and digital currencies increasing in prominence. Yet how has this impacted supply chain management? In a discipline that spans multiple industries, continents, and companies, are there examples that we can point to that explain how digital supply chains have become? Which aspects of supply chain management were transformed by the digital tidal wave, and which functions are lagging behind? This is what this volume seeks to address.

The focus of this book is to give real-life lessons, not just fluffy, easy things. Sometimes parents, teachers, the media, the government, and others hold back and sugarcoat information. I try to keep it real with my kids when talking about different situations in life. Whether it's discussing history, current events, or what they need to know when they're adults. Anything can be a teachable moment. Being honest and detailed about various topics is important. Although I use these lessons for my teenagers, adults are able to learn from this stuff as well.

Le soft skills, spesso definite competenze interpersonali o non tecniche, sono un insieme di attributi e capacità personali che consentono agli individui di interagire efficacemente con gli altri e di affrontare le sfide del mondo moderno. Queste abilità comprendono un'ampia gamma di competenze, tra cui la comunicazione, la leadership, l'adattabilità, l'empatia, la risoluzione dei problemi e altre ancora. A differenza delle competenze tecniche o delle hard skills, le soft skills non sono specifiche di un settore e sono applicabili in vari aspetti della vita. L'importanza delle soft skills nel panorama odierno in rapida evoluzione non può essere sopravvalutata. Esse svolgono un ruolo fondamentale per il successo personale e professionale, in quanto consentono agli individui di comunicare in modo più efficace, di costruire relazioni solide, di risolvere i conflitti e di adattarsi a situazioni in continua evoluzione. In ambito accademico, sono fondamentali per l'apprendimento e la collaborazione, mentre sul posto di lavoro sono molto apprezzate dai datori di lavoro, in quanto contribuiscono a migliorare il lavoro di squadra, l'innovazione e la leadership.

Mit der netzwerkmäßigen Internationalisierung von Produktionsaktivitäten werden zwar Voraussetzungen für eine effektive und effiziente Produktion im globalen Wettbewerb geschaffen. Globale Produktionsnetzwerke erweisen sich allerdings bei kürzer werdenden Produktlebenszyklen und einer damit steigenden Bedeutung des Faktors Zeit als zunächst einmal kritisch hinsichtlich einer schnellen Markteinführung neuer Produkte. Denn gegenüber einer zentral angelegten Produktion sorgen sie je nach Konfiguration für einen gestiegenen und dabei zeitintensiveren Koordinationsbedarf. Das trifft insbesondere auf die Phase des Produktionsanlaufs neuer Produkte zu: In dieser zeitkritischen Phase ist nicht nur die typische Herausforderung einer Abstimmung zwischen dem Entwicklungs- und Produktionsbereich zu bewältigen; vielmehr gilt es eine zeitliche, qualitäts-, quantitäts- sowie kostenbezogene Abstimmung zwischen den international gestreuten und interdependenten Produktionsstandorten im Netzwerk herbeizuführen. Dieser zeitintensive Koordinationsbedarf steht jedoch in starkem Konflikt mit dem zunehmenden Zeitdruck aufgrund verkürzter Produktlebenszyklen. Eine zielgerichtete Koordination der am Anlauf beteiligten Unternehmensstandorte, -funktionen und -mitarbeiter mittels geeigneter Instrumente kann daher als Kernherausforderung des Managements globaler Produktionsnetzwerke bezeichnet werden; wird sie nicht bewältigt, ist nicht nur eine erfolgreiche Produkteinführung, sondern auch die vollständige Realisierung der Produktionsnetzwerken an sich innewohnenden Potenziale gefährdet. Bisherige Untersuchungen fokussieren überwiegend einzelne Koordinationsaspekte, wie technische Änderungen seitens der Entwicklung, oder Probleme der Lieferantenintegration aus interorganisationaler Perspektive. Dabei wird vernachlässigt, dass es sich bei Anläufen heutzutage nicht mehr um rein nationale Projekte handelt, sondern diese sich zu standortübergreifenden, internationalen Prozessen entwickelt haben. Ziel dieser Dissertation ist es daher, spezifisch das Einwirken der ¿internationalen Dimension¿ globaler Produktionsnetzwerke auf die Koordination der Anlaufphase zu untersuchen. Hierzu wurde basierend auf dem Kontingenzansatz, einschlägiger Literatur und einer empirisch-basierten Vorstudie ein konzeptioneller Bezugsrahmen entwickelt, der im Wesentlichen aus drei Elementen besteht: (1) Kontextfaktoren des anlaufbezogenen Koordinationsbedarfs, (2) spezifische Koordinationsprobleme bei globalen Anläufen und (3) unterschiedliche Koordinationsinstrumente, von denen ein Beitrag zur Bewältigung der Probleme zu erwarten ist. Auf dieser Grundlage wurde in einem zweiten Schritt eine empirische Untersuchung durchgeführt. Mittels einer Mehrfachfallstudie konnten detaillierte Einblicke in die Zusammenhänge zwischen den Elementen des Bezugsrahmen gewonnen werden. Genauer wurde den Fragen nachgegangen, inwieweit sich in verschiedenen Netzwerkkonfigurationen Unterschiede in der Bedeutung einzelner Koordinationsprobleme und dem Einsatz von Koordinationsinstrumenten identifizieren lassen. Ausgehend davon wurden praktische Gestaltungsempfehlungen hinsichtlich der instrumentellen Handhabung von Koordinationsproblemen abgeleitet.

Co-Creation ist eine gemeinsame Wertschaffung von Unternehmen und Kunden, bei der Kunden personalisierte Experiences (Erfahrungen und Erlebnisse) mitgestalten können. Dabei stellt die Integration von Kundenressourcen die Basis der Wertschaffung dar. Co-Creation bei Kunden erfordert eine echte Mitwirkung seitens der Kunden und sollte über die reine Produktebene hinausgehen. Kunden in unternehmerischen Entscheidungen einzubeziehen bedeutet, sie direkt in Partizipations- und Entscheidungsprozessen mitwirken zu lassen. In dieser Forschungsarbeit wird ein Co-Creation Modell entwickelt, um die Themen erlebnisreicher zu gestalten und die Kunden in der Lösungsfindung einzubinden. Letztendlich beruht Kernansatz der Co-Creation darauf, dass Kunden eine höhere Verbundenheit und Identifikation entwickeln, wenn sie an der Entwicklung und Verbesserungen von Lösungen aktiv integriert werden.

Die aktuellen Geschehnisse zeigen, dass eine rasche und entschiedene Wende hin zu einer nachhaltigen Entwicklung unumgänglich ist, wenn wir uns und unseren Planeten retten wollen.

Das essential stellt die wichtigsten Strategien für eine erfolgreiche Veränderung hin zu mehr Nachhaltigkeit vor und zeigt, wie Mitstreiter:innen für diese Transformation gewonnen werden. Es geht konkret der Frage nach, was wir aus der Psychologie für die Nachhaltigkeitstransformation lernen können. So werden psychologische Theorien verständlich vorgestellt, inspirierende Fallbeispiele gezeigt und konkrete Impulse für die Umsetzung im eigenen Unternehmen (und privatem Umfeld) gegeben.

"A complete overhaul of the Western museum tradition"-Publishers Weekly"An impressive critique of the universal museum as complicit in the damages inflicted by colonial power"-Isaac Julien, artist and filmmaker"Should fascinate anyone interested in social justice, post-colonialism and the arts"-Euronews"Powerful and so relevant"-DiacritikThe Western museum is a battleground-a terrain of ideological, political and economic contestation. Almost everyone today wants to rethink the museum, but how many have the audacity to question the idea of the universal museum itself?In A Programme of Absolute Disorder, Françoise Vergès puts the museum in its place. Exploring the Louvre's history, she uncovers the context in which the universal museum emerged: as a product of colonialism, and of Europe's self-appointed claim to be the guardian of global heritage.Vergès outlines a radical horizon: to truly decolonize the museum is to implement a "programme of absolute disorder", inventing other ways of apprehending the human and non-human world that nourish collective creativity and bring justice and dignity to the dispossessed.Françoise Vergès is a political scientist, activist, historian, film writer, and public educator. She is the author of A Decolonial Feminism and A Feminist History of Violence. She is also a senior research fellow at the Sarah Parker Remond Centre for the Study of Racism and Racialisation, University College London.

This edited volume explores and deconstructs the possibilities of higher education beyond its initial purpose. The book contextualizes and argues for a more robust interrogation of persistent patterns of campus inequality driven by rapid demographic change, reduced public spending in higher education, and an increasingly polarized political landscape. It offers contemporary views and critiques ideas and practices such as micro-aggressions, implicit and explicit bias, and their consequences in reifying racial and gender-based inequalities on members of nondominant groups. The book also highlights coping mechanisms and resistance strategies that have enabled members of nondominant groups to contest primarily racial- and gender- based inequity. In doing so, it identifies new ways higher education can do what it professes to do better, in all ways, from providing real benefit to students and communities, while also setting a bar for society to more effectively realize its stated purpose and creed.

Logistics and supply chain management is facing disruptive economic, technological and climate change developments that require new strategies. New technologies such as the Internet-of-Things, digital manufacturing or blockchain are emerging quickly and could provide competitive advantage to those companies that leverage the technologies smartly while managers that do not adopt and embrace change could be left behind. Last but perhaps most important for mankind, sustainability aspects such as low-carbon transportation, closed loop supply chains or socially-responsible supply chain setups will become essential to operate successfully in the future. All these aspects will affect logistics and supply chains as a whole as well as different functional areas such as air cargo, maritime logistics or sourcing/procurement.This book aims to dive into several of these functional topics to highlight the key developments in the next decade predicted by leading global experts in the field. It features contributions and key insights of globally leading scholars and senior industry experts. Their forward-looking perspectives on the anticipated trends are aimed at informing the reader about how logistics and supply chain management will evolve in the next decade and which academic qualities and skills will be required to succeed in the "e;new normal"e; environment that will be characterized by volatile and increasingly disrupted business eco-systems. Future scenarios are envisaged to provide both practitioners and students with insights that will help them to adapt and succeed in a fast changing world.
