Gruppendiskussionen: Ein Praxis-Handbuch
by Thomas Kühn Kay KoschelGruppendiskussionen gehören zu den Grundpfeilern qualitativer Forschung – sowohl im akademischen als auch im angewandten Kontext wie z.B. der Markt- und Medienforschung. Gruppendiskussionen übernehmen etwa eine zentrale Rolle, wenn es um die (Weiter-)Entwicklung der modernen Alltagswelt geht, wie zum Beispiel der Optimierung von Dienstleistungen, Produkten, Markenführung, Fernsehformaten, Kinofilmen oder politischen Programmen. Das Buch gibt eine Einführung und dient als Praxis-Handbuch für die Konzeptualisierung, Durchführung und Auswertung von Gruppendiskussionen in sozialwissenschaftlichen und wirtschaftspsychologischen Kontexten. Zur Veranschaulichung werden zahlreiche Praxisbeispiele gegeben. Auf der Basis der Reflexion zahlreicher Studien werden typische Fehler und Fallgruben identifiziert und praktische Tipps zu Leitfadenerstellung, Moderation, Analyse und Fundierung von Beratung abgeleitet.

Gruppendynamische Aspekte agiler Frameworks: Agile Teams im Spannungsfeld von Zugehörigkeit, Macht und Intimität (essentials)
by Evelyn WerroEvelyn Werro zeigt in diesem essential, wie mit einem neuen agilen Organisationsparadigma und Scrum als einem der agilen Frameworks versucht wird, der durch die neuen Technologien getriebenen, wachsenden Komplexität im wirtschaftlichen Kontext zu begegnen. Dabei erläutert sie, dass Teams als eine spezifische Ausprägung einer Gruppe in diesem Prozess eine oft unterschätzte, aber entscheidende Rolle spielen. Die Autorin stellt Fragen wie: Inwiefern spielen dabei gruppendynamische Erkenntnisse eine Rolle? Wie erfolgreich kann Scrum sein, wenn den impliziten gruppendynamischen Aspekten explizit keine Beachtung geschenkt wird? Und was bedeutet dies für die Arbeitsfähigkeit von Teams?
Gruppenprozesse verstehen: Gruppendynamische Forschung und Praxis
by Klaus Antons Andreas Amann Gisela Clausen Oliver König Karl SchattenhoferWie gestaltet sich in langfristigen Gruppen der Umgang mit den zentralen Dimensionen von Zugehörigkeit, Macht und Intimität? Das Buch stellt gruppendynamische Prozesse in längerfristigen Fortbildungsgruppen dar. TeilnehmerInnen eines Gruppengeschehens werden dabei beobachtet, wie sie sich selbst beobachten, wie sie diese Beobachtungen und Wahrnehmungen austauschen, und werden danach befragt, was sie dabei entdecken. Gegenstand der Forschung ist also der Idealtypus einer selbstreflexiven Gruppe. Die Besonderheiten der dabei auftretenden Prozesse sind von genereller Aussagekraft für alle solche Gruppen, die sich nach dem Prinzip der Selbstreflexivität zu organisieren versuchen. Die Fallanalysen lassen die Voraussetzungen und paradoxen Begleiterscheinungen, die Möglichkeiten und die Grenzen solcher Gruppen sichtbar werden. Als Weg wurde die Mikroanalyse von sozialen Interaktionen gewählt mit einem doppelten Ziel: die Struktur und die Besonderheit des untersuchten Gruppengeschehens zu erschließen, aber auch den Verstehensprozess selbst.
Guanxi and Business Strategy: Theory and Implications for Multinational Companies in China (Contributions to Management Science)
by Eike A. LangenbergThis book examines a topic of paramount importance to those doing business with China: the impact of personal relationships (guanxi) on business affairs. It shows that the commercial utilization of guanxi with suppliers, customers, competitors and authorities yields significant sustainable competitive advantages. Coverage also assesses guanxi-based business strategies in terms of compliance with legal and ethical standards.
Guanxi, How China Works (China Today)
by Yanjie BianHow do social relations, or guanxi, matter in China today and how can this distinctive form of personal connection be better understood? In Guanxi: How China Works, Yanjie Bian analyzes the forms, dynamics, and impacts of guanxi relations in reform-era China, and shows them to be a crucial part of the puzzle of how Chinese society operates. Rich in original studies and insightful analyses, this concise book offers a critical synthesis of guanxi research, including its empirical controversies and theoretical debates. Bian skillfully illustrates the growing importance of guanxi in diverse areas such as personal network building, employment and labor markets, informal business relationships, and the broader political sphere, highlighting guanxi’s central value in China's contemporary social structure. A definitive statement on the topic from a top authority on the sociology of guanxi, this book is an excellent classroom introduction for courses on China, a useful reference for guanxi researchers, and ideal reading for anyone interested in Chinese culture and society.
Guanxi, Social Capital and School Choice in China: The Rise of Ritual Capital (Palgrave Studies on Chinese Education in a Global Perspective)
by Ji RuanThis book focuses on the use of guanxi (Chinese personal connections) in everyday urban life: in particular, how and why people develop different types of social capital in their guanxi networks and the role of guanxi in school choice. Guanxi takes on a special significance in Chinese societies, and is widely-discussed and intensely-studied phenomenon today. In recent years in China, the phenomenon of parents using guanxi to acquire school places for their children has been frequently reported by the media, against the background of the Chinese Communist Party’s crackdown on corruption. From a sociological perspective, this book reveals how and why parents manage to do so. Ritual capital refers to an individual's ability to use ritual to benefit and gain resources from guanxi.
A Guaranteed Annual Income: Evidence from a Social Experiment
by Philip K. Robins Robert G. Spiegelman Samuel WeinerA Guaranteed Annual Income: Evidence from a Social Experiment brings together the first accounting of evidence on the impact of the Seattle/Denver Income-Maintenance Experiments (SIME/DIME) on participating individuals and families. It is based on a selection of papers delivered to policymakers, program administrators, and researchers at a conference held at Orcas Island, Washington, in May 1978. The conference, sponsored by HEW and the State of Washington, represented the first effort to disseminate to a wide audience the findings emerging from early analyses. The book is divided into four parts. Part I presents a general introduction to the experimental design, results, and data. Part II presents the experimental effects on work behavior for various family members, including results on job satisfaction, the demand for childcare on the part of single mothers, and the incorporation of the labor supply results into a simulation of national welfare reform alternatives. Part III discusses the experimental effects on family behavior, including marital stability, psychological effects, and effects on the demand for children (fertility). Part IV contains five studies of how the benefits were used by the families, including effects on migration, education and training, demand for assets, and the use of subsidized housing programs.
Guardrails: Guiding Human Decisions in the Age of AI
by Urs Gasser Viktor Mayer-SchönbergerHow society can shape individual actions in times of uncertaintyWhen we make decisions, our thinking is informed by societal norms, &“guardrails&” that guide our decisions, like the laws and rules that govern us. But what are good guardrails in today&’s world of overwhelming information flows and increasingly powerful technologies, such as artificial intelligence? Based on the latest insights from the cognitive sciences, economics, and public policy, Guardrails offers a novel approach to shaping decisions by embracing human agency in its social context.In this visionary book, Urs Gasser and Viktor Mayer-Schönberger show how the quick embrace of technological solutions can lead to results we don&’t always want, and they explain how society itself can provide guardrails more suited to the digital age, ones that empower individual choice while accounting for the social good, encourage flexibility in the face of changing circumstances, and ultimately help us to make better decisions as we tackle the most daunting problems of our times, such as global injustice and climate change.Whether we change jobs, buy a house, or quit smoking, thousands of decisions large and small shape our daily lives. Decisions drive our economies, seal the fate of democracies, create war or peace, and affect the well-being of our planet. Guardrails challenges the notion that technology should step in where our own decision making fails, laying out a surprisingly human-centered set of principles that can create new spaces for better decisions and a more equitable and prosperous society.

Guerrilla Democracy: Mobile Power and Revolution in the 21st Century (Organizations and Activism)
by Peter Bloom Owain Smolović JonesThe liberating promise of big data and social media to create more responsive democracies and workplaces is overshadowed by a nightmare of election meddling, privacy invasion, fake news and an exploitative gig economy. Yet, while regressive forces spread disinformation and hate, 'guerrilla democrats' continue to foster hope and connection through digital technologies. This book offers an in-depth analysis of platform-based radical movements, from the online coalitions of voters and activists to the Deliveroo and Uber strikes. Combining cutting edge theories with empirical research, it makes an invaluable contribution to the emerging literature on the relationship between technology and society.

Guerrillas: Journeys in the Insurgent World
by Jon Lee AndersonPrior to gaining international renown for his definitive biography of Che Guevara and his firsthand reports on the war in Iraq in the acclaimed THE FALL OF BAGHDAD, Jon Lee Anderson wrote GUERRILLAS, a daring on-the-ground account of five diverse insurgent movements around the world: the mujahedin of Afghanistan, the FMLN of El Salvador, the Karen of Burma, the Polisario of Western Sahara, and a group of young Palestines fighting against Israel in the Gaza Strip. Making the most of unprecedented, direct access to his subjects, Anderson combines powerful storytelling with a balanced, penetrating analysis of each situation. A work of phenomenal range, analytical acuity, and human empathy, GUERRILLAS amply demonstrates why Jon Lee Anderson is one of our most important chroniclers of societies in crisis.

Guest Workers or Colonized Labor?: Mexican Labor Migration to the United States
by Gilbert G. GonzalezA decade of political infighting over comprehensive immigration reform appears at an end, after the 2012 election motivated the Republican Party to work with the Democratic Party's immigration reform agendas. However, a guest worker program within current reform proposals is generally overlooked by the public and by activist organizations. Also overlooked is significant corporate lobbying that affects legislation. This updated edition critically examines the new guest worker program included in the White House and Congressional bipartisan committee s immigration reform blueprints and puts the debate into historical and contemporary contexts. It describes how the influential U.S. Chamber of Commerce and the AFL-CIO agreed on guidelines for a new guest worker program to be included in the plan. Gonzalez shows how guest worker programs stand within a history of utilizing controlled, cheap, disposable labor with lofty projections rarely upheld. For courses in a wide variety of disciplines, this timely text taps into trends toward teaching immigration politics and policy.Features of the New Edition"

A Guide for Developing a Culture of Caring Through Nursing Peer Mentorship Programs: Fostering Success and Resilience
by Deborah KramerThis book describes in detail how to develop successful programs of nursing mentorship, utilizing concepts of caring that yields a strong, caring body of nurses who will be “nurse thrivers” as they find fulfilment and meaning in their professional commitment and will train others to do the same. The mentorship program is the ticket to success that many students need to complete their degree program, prevent burnout, pass the nursing NCLEX examination, and remain in the workforce after graduation. The current attrition rate in baccalaureate nursing programs is 25-50%, as is the attrition rate in the first 2 years of employment of new RN's entering the workforce. Burnout is due to a lack of care and support for helping the students navigate the rigor and demands of the nursing program. Creating a community of learners with caring and support creates an environment that fosters academic engagement and success. The unique aspect of this book is its focus on creating a caring environment to support the students; helping them develop caring skills, empathy, resilience and their own self-care; developing the skills for success beyond their educational process into the workforce. This book integrates all patterns of knowing - personal, aesthetic, empiric and ethical - and provides the missing link of peer mentorship necessary to the development of resilient, emancipated nursing students and graduates capable of working in community with others to establish cultures of care in health care. This is a must have resource for transformation of nursing education in the next century! Foreword by Dr. Margaret McClure.
A Guide for Dual-Career Couples: Rewriting the Rules
by Eve Sprunt Ph.D.This book discusses the major challenges facing dual-career couples—a substantial proportion of modern society—and suggests ways for both individuals to achieve career success by re-evaluating traditional styles of working and focusing on productivity, flexibility, and negotiating win-win solutions.Women are becoming increasingly influential in the workforce; the era of men being the primary or only income-earner in a partnership is all but gone. Today, people tend to meet their spouse or domestic partner at school or at work. High achievers tend to pair with other high achievers, often in similar fields. This leads to couples in which both individuals are strongly motivated to have successful careers. What happens when they become parents or when one—or both—individuals need to consider relocating for their job? Many mid-career, college-educated people, especially women as well as undergraduate and graduate students, are concerned about developing a plan to mesh their career with a partner and are seeking guidance. This book offers a gender-neutral guide for 21st-century couples that will benefit men as much as women. The author provides career-management guidance for people in dual-career relationships in which both parties are ambitiously attempting to pursue equally important, high-powered careers, presenting examples of alternative solutions and arguing that many "women's issues"—including parenting and limited geographic mobility—are more appropriately managed in a gender-neutral way as dual-career couple issues.Readers will understand how to make better decisions regarding difficult situations, such as whether to accept an opportunity that adversely impacts their personal lives, choosing to take a leave of absence or to quit, investing a large amount of one person's salary for domestic assistance and childcare, taking paternity leave, and leveraging flexible work arrangements—for example, telecommuting.
