Stellar Management Teams
by Vesa Ristikangas Tapani RinneManagement teams at all levels, and individual team members in particular, are often disengaged and disconnected from the management function itself. Statements such as, "we lack common goals or they are unclear", "I have no influence", "I am not listened to nor taken into account", and "I do not feel valued – actually, nobody does", are commonplace. The authors argue this is because we have been entrenched in an era of guru leadership but that it must come to an end if our management teams are to rise to the top. An individual is not capable of controlling the complicated system of an organization, with its countless variables, especially in conjunction with the rapid change in both the economy and market forces, which are unpredictable and uncontrollable. No matter how talented the individual, no one person is in a position to manage this complex system alone – not even a guru leader. The authors contend that what is needed now are resilient trendsetters who will bring about a new era of top-performing teams that together form a "collective guru", which they refer to as a Stellar Management Team. In this book, the reader undertakes a metaphorical journey to the stars, which symbolizes top-level interaction and collaboration. The journey is the development from an ordinary management team into a Stellar Management Team, which elevates its operation up to a new level of performance and success.

Stephen King: America's Storyteller (Non-ser.)
by Tony MagistraleThis analysis of the work of Stephen King explores the distinctly American fears and foibles that King has celebrated, condemned, and generally examined in the course of his wildly successful career.Stephen King: America's Storyteller explores the particular American-ness of Stephen King's work. It is the first major examination to follow this defining theme through King's 40-year career, from his earliest writings to his most recent novels and films made from them.Stephen King begins by tracing Stephen King's rise from his formative years to his status as a one of the most popular writers in publishing history. It then takes a close look at the major works from his canon, including The Shining, The Stand, It, Dolores Claiborne, and The Dark Tower. In these works and others, author Tony Magistrale focuses on King's deep rooted sense of the American experience, exemplified by his clear-eyed presentation of our historical and cultural foibles and scars; his gallery of unlikely friendships that cross race, age, and class boundaries; and his transcendent portrayals of uniquely American survival instincts, fellowship, and acts of heroism from the least likely of sources.

Stereotype in Marketing und Werbung
by Nina JanichDer Band vereinigt Beiträge verschiedenster Disziplinen zu Stereotypen in Werbung und Marketing. Schwerpunkte liegen auf Risiken und Potenzialen von Stereotypen in der Markt- und Personalkommunikation, auf ihrer Bedeutung im Nation/Place Branding sowie auf sozialen Stereotypisierungen in unterschiedlichen Kontexten (u.a. in Markenkommunikation, B2B, HRM). Der Begriff des Stereotyps hat sich – so das Ergebnis – fachübergreifend in Sprach-, Kommunikations-, Medien-, Werbe- und Wirtschaftswissenschaft als ein Konzept bewährt, das Einsichten über kultur-, zeit- und branchenspezifische Orientierungs- und Identifikationsangebote in der Unternehmenskommunikation verspricht.
Stereotype und die Wahrnehmung von Medienwirkungen
by Katharina SommerKatharina Sommer fragt danach, wie die Aktivierung von Stereotypen die Einschätzung von Medienwirkungen auf Dritte beeinflussen kann: Stereotypisierung findet meist unbewusst statt und ist in sozialen Situationen ein alltäglich ablaufender Prozess. Die Autorin verbindet die Frage nach den Einflussfaktoren auf die Wahrnehmung von Medienwirkungen mit dem Prozess der Stereotypisierung zu unterschiedlichen Personengruppen. Auf diese Weise verdeutlicht sie, dass die Einschätzung von Medienwirkung situativ unterschiedlich ausfallen kann, je nachdem, welche Stereotype gerade aktiviert wurden.
Steuerungs- und Regelungsprobleme in der Informationsgesellschaft (Mediensymposium #5)
by Kurt Imhof Otfried Jarren Roger Blumit Bezug auf die bemerkenswerten Veränderungen der öffentlichen politischen Kommunikation seit den sechziger Jahren, insbesondere jedoch seit der Deregulierung der elektronischen Medien und der ökonomischen Konzentration, Globalisierung und Diversifizierung des Mediensystems in den achtziger Jahren, gilt das Interesse des Bandes den Steuerungs- und Regelungsproblemen in der Informationsgesellschaft. Dies erfordert eine gesamtgesellschaftliche Perspektive, die das Verhältnnis der Systeme Politik, Ökonomie und Medien fokussiert. Der gewandelte Zusammenhang der drei Teilsysteme lässt sich beschreiben als Resultat zweier gegenläufiger Entwicklungen: der Ausdifferenzierung des Mediensystems vom politischen System einerseits sowie der Entdifferenzierung der Medien vom ökonomischen System andererseits.

Stick It Up Your Punter!: The Uncut Story of the Sun Newspaper
by Chris Horrie Peter ChippindaleNewly updated to 2012 and the Leveson Inquiry, Stick It Up Your Punter! is the classic story of the Sun newspaper, its part in the rise of Rupert Murdoch's business empire, and the extraordinary role it came to play in British society and politics. From Murdoch's purchase and rebranding of the old loss-making Sun in 1969, through the soaraway-successful and often scandalous years of success under foul-mouthed editor Kelvin MacKenzie, to the 'phone-hacking' disgrace of 2012 which put Murdoch's business affairs under scrutiny as never before - this is the story of the paper that, for better or worse, redefined 'tabloid journalism'.'[This] anarchic account... could be a script for Carry On Up Fleet Street.' Alan Rusbridger, Guardian'The funniest book of the year, perhaps of the decade.' Times'Splendidly racy.'

Stochastic Geometry Analysis of Multi-Antenna Wireless Networks
by Xianghao Yu Chang Li Jun Zhang Khaled B. LetaiefThis book presents a unified framework for the tractable analysis of large-scale, multi-antenna wireless networks using stochastic geometry. This mathematical analysis is essential for assessing and understanding the performance of complicated multi-antenna networks, which are one of the foundations of 5G and beyond networks to meet the ever-increasing demands for network capacity. Describing the salient properties of the framework, which makes the analysis of multi-antenna networks comparable to that of their single-antenna counterparts, the book discusses effective design approaches that do not require complex system-level simulations. It also includes various application examples with different multi-antenna network models to illustrate the framework’s effectiveness.

Stochastic Network Optimization with Application to Communication and Queueing Systems (Synthesis Lectures on Learning, Networks, and Algorithms)
by Michael NeelyThis text presents a modern theory of analysis, control, and optimization for dynamic networks. Mathematical techniques of Lyapunov drift and Lyapunov optimization are developed and shown to enable constrained optimization of time averages in general stochastic systems. The focus is on communication and queueing systems, including wireless networks with time-varying channels, mobility, and randomly arriving traffic. A simple drift-plus-penalty framework is used to optimize time averages such as throughput, throughput-utility, power, and distortion. Explicit performance-delay tradeoffs are provided to illustrate the cost of approaching optimality. This theory is also applicable to problems in operations research and economics, where energy-efficient and profit-maximizing decisions must be made without knowing the future. Topics in the text include the following: - Queue stability theory - Backpressure, max-weight, and virtual queue methods - Primal-dual methods for non-convex stochastic utility maximization - Universal scheduling theory for arbitrary sample paths - Approximate and randomized scheduling theory - Optimization of renewal systems and Markov decision systems Detailed examples and numerous problem set questions are provided to reinforce the main concepts. Table of Contents: Introduction / Introduction to Queues / Dynamic Scheduling Example / Optimizing Time Averages / Optimizing Functions of Time Averages / Approximate Scheduling / Optimization of Renewal Systems / Conclusions
