Integrating the Individual and the Organization

Integrating the Individual and the Organization

The emphasis on organizational change in the corporate life of recent years-including job redesign autonomous groups high performance work systems and the redesign of control systems-owes a great deal to the pioneering work of Chris Argyris. This book examines how individuals in organizations can become more effective in turn making organizations more effective. It explores the conventional pyramidal structure of organizations in which there is top-down control by managers over workers and examines their negative consequences. These include organizational injustice and eventually irrational decision-making. Argyris also discusses the characteristic learning system of the modern organization which he describes as single-loop in character. This system he argues is only adequeate enough to permit the organization to implement existing policies. It does not permit the more difficult and comprehensive task of questioning underlying goals and assumptions which he terms doubt loop learning. In this kind of learning the organization is able to confront the more difficult problems that affect organizations in a time of transition. In his new introduction Argyris reviews the strengths and limitations of the argument advanced in Integrating the Individual and the Organization. He describes why the pyramidal structure endures and why creating a self-learning organization is an even more challenging task than he has imagined. The book will be of interest to professionals with a long-standing interest in organizational development as well as those just entering the field managers confronting the challenge of organization change and researchers in organizational behavior and theory.

Planning Chicago

Planning Chicago

In this volume the authors tell the real stories of the planners politicians and everyday people who shaped contemporary Chicago starting in 1958 early in the Richard J. Daley era. Over the ensuing decades planning did much to develop the Loop protect Chicago’s famous lakefront and encourage industrial growth and neighborhood development in the face of national trends that savaged other cities. But planning also failed some of Chicago’s communities and did too little for others. The Second City is no longer defined by its past and its myths but by the nature of its emerging postindustrial future. This volume looks beyond Burnham’s giant shadow to see the sprawl and scramble of a city always on the make. This isn’t the way other history books tell the story. But it’s the Chicago way. | Planning Chicago

Grothendieck Construction of Bipermutative-Indexed Categories

Grothendieck Construction of Bipermutative-Indexed Categories

The Grothendieck construction provides an explicit link between indexed categories and opfibrations. It is a fundamental concept in category theory and related fields with far-reaching applications. Bipermutative categories are categorifications of rings. They play a central role in algebraic K-theory and infinite loop space theory. This monograph is a detailed study of the Grothendieck construction over a bipermutative category in the context of categorically enriched multicategories with new and important applications to inverse K-theory and pseudo symmetric E∞-algebras. After carefully recalling preliminaries in enriched categories bipermutative categories and enriched multicategories we show that the Grothendieck construction over a small tight bipermutative category is a pseudo symmetric Cat-multifunctor and generally not a Cat-multifunctor in the symmetric sense. Pseudo symmetry of Cat-multifunctors is a new concept we introduce in this work. The following features make it accessible as a graduate text or reference for experts: Complete definitions and proofs Self-contained background. Parts of Chapters 1–3 7 9 and 10 contain background material from the research literature Extensive cross-references Connections between chapters. Each chapter has its own introduction discussing not only the topics of that chapter but also its connection with other chapters Open questions. Appendix A contains open questions that arise from the material in the text and are suitable for graduate students This book is suitable for graduate students and researchers with an interest in category theory algebraic K-theory homotopy theory and related fields. The presentation is thorough and self-contained with complete details and background material for non-expert readers. | Grothendieck Construction of Bipermutative-Indexed Categories

6G Visions for a Sustainable and People-centric Future From Communications to Services the CONASENSE Perspective

6G Visions for a Sustainable and People-centric Future From Communications to Services the CONASENSE Perspective

6G is currently under definition being often addressed from a plain telecommunications perspective as an evolutionary paradigm that represents an extension of 5G. Having as a horizon 2030 6G initiatives are being deployed across the globe to further ignite the development of 6G services. At its philosophical core 6G embodies the human in the loop principle. The research effort being developed towards 6G requires an interdisciplinary approach that ignites discussion across different key technological sectors ranging from communications up to services and business cases. The contributions of this book to research in the field concern an evolutionary and interdisciplinary design of 6G as a paradigm that can be addressed by working together four different computational areas: communications; satellites and navigation; sensing; services. The book is derived from initial brainstorming that was developed during the 11th CONASENSE Symposium held in October 2021 in fortiss Munich Germany. Several international experts contribute to an overview of 6G key challenges new networking trends and challenges to be overcome and advanced 6G services. The book starts with a perspective on 6G challenges and use-cases beyond the 2030 horizon to then continue to address the role of non-terrestrial networks and cognitive service-centric satellite networks in future 6G services. Still with focus on 6G adaptive networking the book continues with a debate on the need to integrate social awareness based on an interdisciplinary approach in network operations. Then specific examples of advanced services (quantum imaging and holography; localization of the Internet of remote things) are discussed. The book is therefore intended to assist in developing critical thinking to back up novel networking applications and services towards 6G. | 6G Visions for a Sustainable and People-centric Future From Communications to Services the CONASENSE Perspective
