Strategic Human Resource Management and Organizational Effectiveness Essays Celebrating and Advancing the Scholarship of David P. Lepak

Strategic Human Resource Management and Organizational Effectiveness Essays Celebrating and Advancing the Scholarship of David P. Lepak

This book on human resource management (HRM) research builds upon and extends the work of Professor David P. Lepak who was the Berthiaume Endowed Chair of Business Leadership in the Isenberg School of Management at the University of Massachusetts Amherst. Professor Lepak was an internationally renowned HRM scholar who believed in giving back to his profession and was committed to introduce his research findings to students as well as the business community. In addition to being a tribute to Professor Lepak and his work this volume aims to help organizations and managers understand how to use human resource management to benefit employees while achieving organizational effectiveness. The chapters in this volume focus on strategic management of human capital resources strategic HRM and multilevel HRM —areas of research that were central to Professor Lepak’s academic contributions. These chapters together provide important theoretical and practical implications for understanding how organizations can use HRM to generate and utilize their strategic human capital resources and how HRM interacts with internal and external factors to influence important employee and organizational outcomes. The chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue of The International Journal of Human Resource Management. | Strategic Human Resource Management and Organizational Effectiveness Essays Celebrating and Advancing the Scholarship of David P.

Neighborhood Futures Citizen Rights and Local Control

Neighborhood Futures Citizen Rights and Local Control

Two conflicting developments have recently characterized civic life in the United States. The first the centralization of formal agencies of government too often leads to diminishing political liberties and tyranny. The second which is characterized by a greater amount of civic participation and individual self-actualization is the formation of a whole new layer of sublocal institutions both public and private. These include residential community and condominium associations; property owner-based business improvement districts in nearly all major cities; neighborhood improvement districts in large cities; and even self-governing public schools. Neighborhood Futures is a realistic exploration of how for a society to move forward and improve its citizens must exercise the power to act creatively and feel they are both competent and responsible individuals. Supporting his ideas with the Dutch innovation of the woonerf or neighborhood street government Liebmann follows through by discussing other foreign models of civic life forms and illustrating how they have resulted in resident satisfaction. George W. Liebmann is a partner of Liebmann & Shively P. A. a Baltimore law firm that specializes in local government and education law. In addition to having served as a top aide to one of Maryland's governors he is a former faculty associate of the Lincoln Institute of Land Policy and is the author of Little Platoons and The Gallows in the Grove. | Neighborhood Futures Citizen Rights and Local Control

Indian National Congress From Dominance to Decline or Hibernation?

Indian National Congress From Dominance to Decline or Hibernation?

This book presents a systematic analysis of the rise and decline of the Indian National Congress since 1980s using the frame dominance to hibernation. The Indian National Congress (INC or Congress Party) originated in the national movement for India’s freedom and has since been the centrepiece of postindependence multi-party system for nearly four decades. However the Congress has been experiencing a phase of serious decline since the 2014 and 2019 general elections. Analysing years of political history and contemporary developments this volume brings to the fore important issues and key themes such as Evolution of the party system in India the contemporary dynamics and movements Indian National Congress under Indira Gandhi and Rajiv Gandhi Ideological and policy reorientation of the party in the 1990s under P. V. Narasimha Rao Revival of mass membership and organizational elections in the party Indian National Congress in the 2000s under the leadership of Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi The 2019 debacle and change in the leadership A comprehensive work on the history of the Congress Party in India this volume will be an essential read for scholars and researchers of political science party politics Indian politics sociology modern Indian history political sociology public administration public policy South Asian studies and governance studies. | Indian National Congress From Dominance to Decline or Hibernation?

Law Culture and Africana Studies

Law Culture and Africana Studies

Ever since the first contacts between Europe and Africa African people have been confined to the fringes of Eurocentric experience in the Western mind. Much of what we have studied in African history and culture or literature and linguistics or politics and economics has been orchestrated from the standpoint of Europe's interests. Whether it is a matter of economics history politics geographical concepts or art Africans have been seen as peripheral. This volume reviews the past in order to evaluate the present and move ahead with appropriate policies for the future. The authors focus on issues of affirmative action legal culture theories of black culture and methodologies of scholarly work in Africana studies. Contents include: Cecil Blake The Culture Nexus Construct in Africana Studies Ronald Turner On Palatable Palliative and Paralytic Affirmative Action Grutter-Style Winston A. Van Horne Three Concepts of Legitimacy Robert E. Weems Jr. Africana Studies and the Quest for Black Economic Empowerment: What Can be Done Ula Y. Taylor Elijah Muhammad's Nation of Islam: Separatism Regendering and a Secular Approach to Black Power after Malcolm X Lewis R. Gordon Must Revolutionaries Sing the Blues? Thinking through Fanon and the Leitmotif of the Black Arts Movement Delores P. Aldridge Race Gender and Africana Theorizing and James L. Conyers Biography and Africology: Method and Interpretation. The volume concludes with reviews of significant recent scholarship on black history and culture. Law Culture and Africana Studies will have particular interest for scholars in the fields of American and European studies cultural studies history sociology and specialists in African-American studies.

Conditionally Toxic Proteins

Conditionally Toxic Proteins

Human health depends upon access to high-quality proteins for our diet and pharmaceutical use. This book deals with the nature of toxicity as it applies to proteins in food and drugs. Many proteins such as glutens and allergens are valuable food sources but toxic for sensitized individuals. Even proteins produced in the human body can become toxic through mutation or aggregation. For example Alzheimer's and Huntington's disease are characterized by plaques in the brain of insoluble protein aggregations. Paradoxically even toxins produced by the most pathogenic microorganisms such as Botox have found use in the clinic and industry. This book discusses how many proteins including interferons and cytokines can be valuable therapeutics while still associated with autoimmune diseases such as psoriasis or lupus erythematosus. Key Features: Shows why gluten proteins are different from all others and how this can account for symptoms throughout the body in those with celiac disease Illustrates that multiple allergy syndrome is not only real and related to similar allergens in extremely different plants Discusses the difficulties in using human proteins and cytokines as therapeutics Presents examples of how protein aggregates are vital to many physiological processes but also characterize renal and neurological syndromes Shows examples of protein toxins that have medical and industrial uses Related Titles Almeida P.
