Cross-Cultural Collaboration for Community-Oriented Policing and Restorative Justice
No full textThis chapter proposes ways to actively shape future cross-cultural police leadership and collaboration within and across police cultures. The ideas presented are intended to create dialogue across modern police organizations and those who lead them. All four authors are connected with police work either as police officers, police researchers, or criminology instructors. We highlight the impact of restorative justice in policing, community-oriented policing, and collaboration of the law enforcement community within US and UK. Examples of these efforts are embedded throughout the chapter to corroborate our argument for more collaboration within and across cultures if contemporary policing is to be successful. Future research directions are presented
Leadership Recruitment and Selection in School Districts: Trends and Issues
No full textThis article offers a theoretical perspective on the various trends and issues in the recruitment and selection of school leaders that have drawn much attention as a result of the leadership shortages experienced in school districts across Canada and the United States. Drawing from a review of extant literature published over the last two decades the article identifies various issues within the scope of recruitment and selection systems and posits that when developed and implemented appropriately effective recruitment and selection can help replenish the pool of applicants for leadership positions in public schools. Combining themes developed during the literature review with author\u27s personal communication, a list of implications and recommendation are provided that can assist school district personnel with their efforts to effectively integrate recruitment and selection into leadership development for effective schools
Leadership structures of major international organisations:An exploration of gender and regional disparities
No full textIn this chapter we explore gender and regional disparities in leadership positions in major international organizations. To this end, we conducted data mining of the Yearbook of International Organizations 2007–2008, the largest database of profiles of high-ranking officials in international organizations ranging from intergovernmental organizations and non-governmental organizations. Findings indicate that significant gender and regional disparities exist in leadership positions; the vast majority of global leaders in the organizations were males, mostly educated in Western-based universities. Given the increasing influence of international organizations on various global issues, our findings enable us to question whether key international organizations equitably represent all people by developing and implementing the best policies for all people. Our findings also suggest that these organizations’ hiring and promotion practices need to be better understood, given that certain types of human resources (males educated in top Western-based universities) appear to be selectively appreciated, preferred, and accepted as leader
Not all young people “use” the internet: exploring the experiences of ex-use amongst young people in Britain
No full textDespite the rhetoric about ‘digital youth’ a great deal of research has highlighted how young people vary significantly in the ways that they engage with the Internet. A rarely explored group is those young people who hardly use the Internet at all. Yet, they are an important focus of attention, particularly as many services and support for young people are often digital by default. Through in-depth interviews with 22 young people this chapter explores the experiences of young people who consider themselves “ex-users” of the Internet. Through the analysis we identify two groups of young people in this category: young people who used to be Internet users, but no longer feel they are Internet users; and those who had never really felt like Internet users in the first place. We conclude by highlighting the continuing challenges of measuring ‘use’ of the Internet and the potential policy and practice implications for this group of young people and for global leaders
Paths to success: leveraging culture, leadership, and learning strategies
No full textThe purpose of this chapter is to highlight the importance of cross cultural collaboration and leadership
contextualized in a knowledge management paradigm with innovation and intangibles as cornerstones of
competitive advantage. It is our intent to shed light on the importance of new knowledge arising from the
paradigm shift of organizational values wherein intangibles lie. An innovative culture based on learning
steers organizations on human potential with a new mindset to develop core competencies. This chapter
demonstrates how core values of commitment, tolerance, involvement and willingness to take risk foster
organizational sustainability in the new age paradigm. Complex, dynamic and turbulent organizational
environments lead to second order learning, as opposed to first order learning. Organizational memory
is reinforced in an environment of collaborative effort and committed knowledge workers. The quality of
learning depends on leadership fostering teamwork and harnessing a common vision and organizational
principles that nurture and encourage trust.(undefined
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Full text link“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
