Decision-making in the Context of a Crisis: A Selected Review
Get PDFIn the 21st century, organisations have to face pressing “big challenges” (George et al., 2016). These can include adverse events such as global pandemics and climate change. The impacts of these adverse events lead organisations and decision-makers to adopt new behaviours. Although these adverse events are inevitable, organisations do not respond in the same ways, and some organisations are better able to withstand and recover from such shocks than others (Van der Vegt et.al, 2015). High-risk events that at first appear to cause only local and isolated effects, can multiply in intensity and damage vital infrastructure, affecting events on a national or global scale. McFarlane and Norris (2006, p. 4) defined an adverse event as “a potentially traumatic event that is experienced collectively, has an acute onset, and is limited in time; it can be attributed to natural, technological or human causes”. An adverse event is caused by factors external to the system, unforeseen, and requiring immediate action. Examples include hurricanes, tsunamis, earthquakes and pandemics. The traditional way of dealing with adverse events is to develop approaches and systems to identify risks. Now, scholars are shifting their attention from identifying and mitigating risk to attempting to increase resilience (Sutcliffe & Vogus, 2003). The term “resilience” almost always has the positive connotation of flexibility and strengthening: The desired result is better than the preparation needed to face disruptive unexpected events. The purpose of this study is to understand the impact of strategic choices in response to adverse events on the life of organisations. Specifically, when their responses to adverse events occur in a non-adaptive or non-resilient way (inertia). In order to understand this, we based this study on a review of the literature specifically linke.In the 21st century, organisations have to face pressing “big challenges” (George et al., 2016).

გონივრული მისადაგების პრინციპი გაეროს შეზღუდული შესაძლებლობის მქონე პირთა უფლებების კონვეციის (UNCRPD) მიხედვით
Get PDFAfter decades of work at 13 December of 2006 UN enacted ‘convention on right of people with disabilities’ (CRPD) which entered into force on 3 of May of 2008. CRPD is one of the most important international documents, which raised the question of disabled people’s rights and wellbeing. To protect disable people’s rights CRPD implements modern approaches. The CRPD covers an important issue such as the principle of reasonable accommodation. Convention treats denial of principles of reasonable accommodation as a type of discrimination and differs it from any other types of discrimination. Responsibility for reasonable accommodation is an integral part of social model. This article discusses a new type of discrimination - Refuse to provide reasonable accommodation in the context of CRPD. It also analyzes the form and origin of reasonable accommodation.After decades of work at 13 December of 2006 UN enacted ‘convention on right of people with disabilities’ (CRPD) which entered into force on 3 of May of 2008.

Stakeholders in Higher Education - Transforming for Development and Well-Being
Get PDFDue to globalisation, massification of higher education, and neo-liberal policies in higher education, education started to be viewed as a sort of business, seeing stakeholders becoming vital for the development of HEIs. Stakeholders have the power to respond to, negotiate with, and modify the strategic future of the various institutions. From a power position, political and governmental bodies, and accompanying structures such as the Parliamentary Commission on Education and Ministry of Education, state educational quality assurance bodies are the most important. They define the criteria of quality and independence, while authorisation/accreditation committees have the power to authorise/accredit or shut down a university or educational program. They also define what kinds of learning outcomes are expected from programs (Ministry of Education, 2010), so, whatever is written in the national standards has a huge, maybe determining, impact on what a university does in the pursuit of officially recognised qualityDue to globalisation, massification of higher education, and neo-liberal policies in higher education, education started to be viewed as a sort of business, seeing stakeholders becoming vital for the development of HEIs.

EUROPE AND ITS DISCONTENTS
No full textPope Benedict XVI tries to define Europe geographically and religiously and identify the causes of loss of morale in European societies, as well he gives certain remedies for ways out of the situation. Pope Benedict notes Oswald Spengler’s model of history - the pattern of civilizations that grow, bloom and die. Biological metaphors used by Spengler leave a little room for hope. Pope likes much more Toynbee’s model. It is not deterministic and indeed provided for diagnosis of the problems of modern Europe - that is, loss of social cohesion due to loss of religious faith. Finally, according to Pope, Europe must regain its signs of identity: human rights must have their transcendent origins; Marriage and family must conform to historical norms; and there must be respect for the sacred - even atheists must express their respect for that people consider to be holy Pope Benedict XVI tries to define Europe geographically and religiously and identify the causes of loss of morale in European societies, as well he gives certain remedies for ways out of the situation.
