Free Download Marktsozialdemokratie: Die Transformation von SPD und Labour Party By Oliver Nachtwey (auth.)
2009 | 335 Pages | ISBN: 3531168053 | PDF | 2 MB
SPD und Labour Party haben sich in der letzten Dekade grundlegend gewandelt. Die klassische Sozialdemokratie erkannte die Märkte an, wollte aber das Soziale vor den Mühlen des Marktes auf Distanz halten. Sie zweifelte an den Fähigkeiten des Marktes, soziale Gerechtigkeit und gesellschaftlichen Ausgleich zu garantieren. Deshalb wollte man seine Macht begrenzen, seine Auswirkungen korrigieren und seine Entwicklung steuern. Die Marktsozialdemokratie verkehrt dieses Verhältnis: Der Markt soll mit den Mitteln des Sozialen gefördert und das Soziale nach Marktprinzipien organisiert werden. Politische Ökonomie und der Leitbegriff der sozialen Gerechtigkeit werden deshalb neu gedeutet, was mitunter zu drastischen Legitimationsproblemen der Marktsozialdemokratie führen kann.

Free Download Education for Self-transformation: Essay Form as an Educational Practice By Duck-Joo Kwak (auth.)
2012 | 150 Pages | ISBN: 9400724004 | PDF | 2 MB
Exemplifying what it advocates, this book is an innovative attempt to retrieve the essay form from its degenerate condition in academic writing. Its purpose is to create pedagogical space in which the inner struggle of ‘lived experience’ can articulate itself in the first person. Working through essays, the modern, ‘post-secular’ self can guide, understand, and express its own transformation. This is not merely a book about writing methods: it has a sharp existential edge. Beginning by defining key terms such as ‘self-transformation’, Kwak sketches the contemporary debates between Jürgen Habermas and Charles Taylor on the status of religious language in the public domain, and its relationship to secular language. This allows her to contextualize her book’s central questions: how can philosophical practice reduce the experiential rift between knowledge and wisdom? How can the essay form be developed so that it facilitates, as praxis, pedagogical self-transformation? Kwak develops her answers by working through ideas of George Lukács and Stanley Cavell, of Hans Blumenberg and Søren Kierkegaard, whose work is much less familiar in this context than it deserves to be. Kwak’s work provides templates for new forms of educational writing, new approaches to teaching educators, and new ways of writing methodology for educational researchers. Yet the importance of her ideas extends far beyond teaching academies to classroom teachers, curriculum developers – and to anyone engaged in the quest to lead a reflective life of one’s own.

Free Download Doing Agile Right: Transformation Without Chaos by Darrell K. Rigby, Sarah Elk, Steven H. Berez
English | 2020 | ISBN: B088G1X6TM | Format: MP3 / 7 hours and 46 minutes | 164 Mb
For decades business leaders have been painfully aware of the huge chasm between their aspiration for a nimble, flexible enterprise and the reality of silos, sluggishness, and frustrated innovation. Today, agile is being hailed as the essential bridge across that chasm. Agile, say its enthusiasts, can transform your company, catapulting you to the head of the pack.
Not so fast. In this clear-eyed and indispensable audiobook, Sarah Elk and Steve Berez provide a much-needed reality check. They dispel the myths and misconceptions that have accompanied agile’s growth – the idea that it can reshape your organization all at once, for instance, or that it should be used in every function and for all types of work. They affirm and illustrate that agile teams can indeed transform the work environment, make people’s jobs more rewarding, and turbocharge innovation – but only if the method is fully understood and implemented the right way.
Agile, done well, frees and facilitates vigorous innovation without sacrificing the efficiency and reliability essential to traditional operations. The authors break down how agile really works, show what not to do, and explain the crucial importance of scaling agile properly in order to get its full benefit. They then lay out a road map for leading the transition to a truly agile enterprise.
