Although few might think of Moses as a ‘leader’ in the contemporary business and political sense, Moses is not only among the most significant leaders in Western civilization but is also arguably the quintessential example of a powerful leader from whom much can be learned by anyone entering and occupying leadership positions. Various types of leadership approaches are considered that have been advocated by scholars over the past century. Moses’ example as described in the Bible is analyzed to assert why Moses’ approach makes for an appropriate and compelling form of leadership today.

While present leadership and management vocabulary might differ from the Hebrew Bible, many of the notions advocated by modern leadership theorists appear to parallel major behaviors, traits, functions, experiences and actions ascribed to Moses, especially in the first five books of the Hebrew Bible. Anyone can view Moses through the lens of a particular religion, whether shared or not, and still learn considerably from the experience. One will find Moses depicted as heroic, charismatic, and certainly empathic. Yet, Moses also shows transactional, transformational and visionary leadership qualities. Hence, ‘Religion and Contemporary Management’ discerns why Moses represents such an important model of effective leadership for contemporary times.

Statutory and internal audit though have differences in object but are both geared towards value enhancement. Internal audit assures the board of directors of the effectiveness and efficiencies of governance, risk management and internal control put in place to achieve overall organization’s objectives while statutory (external) audit assures the shareholders and the public of the financial report of organizations upon which the stakeholders make informed decisions.

This study aims to identify and describe changes in leadership development programs caused by the spread of SARS-CoV-2. Design/methodology/approach: Participants were selected purposefully. The core part of the qualitative study involved 25 individual in-depth interviews. Findings: The data indicates that leadership development is not perceived as a core business process. In most cases, certain learning interventions were withheld but not terminated or managers ordered a digital culture transition. Data shows that given the progressing change, there is a need for further reflection on whether technology-mediated leadership behaviour would not be a standard. Research limitations/implications: Qualitative research does not permit broad generalizations. Although the data collected allows indicating how leader-nurturing process owners perceive change that impacts leadership development, there is no possibility to indicate the intensity or importance of the reactions. Originality/value: This study enriches the research on leadership management in big enterprises. It provides meaningful insights by examining the attitude and reactions of managers responsible for nurturing leaders. The findings of this study extend the understanding of the leadership development goal and its impact under specific conditions.

Wilkins, A. 2017. Rescaling the local: Multi-academy trusts, private monopoly and statecraft in England. Journal of Educational Administration and History, 49 (2), 171-185

For the past six years successive UK governments in England have introduced reforms intended to usher in less aggregated, top-down, bureaucratically overloaded models of service delivery as well as secure conditions for greater school autonomy.  Yet the ‘hollowing out’ of local government has not resulted in less bureaucracy on the ground or less regulation from above, nor has it diminished hierarchy as an organising principle of education governance.  In some cases, monopolies and monopolistic practices dominated by powerful bureaucracies and professional groups persist, albeit realised through the involvement of new actors and organisations from business and philanthropy.  In this paper I adopt a governmentality perspective to explore the political significance of large multi-academy trusts (MATs) – private sponsors contracted by central government to run publicly funded schools – to the generation of new scalar hierarchies and accountability infrastructures that assist in bringing the gaze of government to bear upon the actions of schools that are otherwise less visible under local government management.  On this account, it is argued, MATs are integral to statecraft and the invention and assemblage of particular apparatuses for intervening upon specific organisations, spaces and peoples.

There are n number of researchers who focused on the topic work-life balance strategies and its influences on the employees. Even the successful strategies had be discussed enough but not the implementations of these strategies as much as needed. I would like to focus more on the implementation of successful strategies. The clause ‘Successful’ means that the strategies which fit the organization’s requirements and satisfy the employees as well. The concept of the implementations of the strategies will be based on the theorizing “Make hay while the sun shines”. In order to implement the Work-Life Balance strategy successfully these are the different stages to be followed; Identifying the right strategies, right time to implement the strategy,beneficiary of the strategy, and evaluation of the strategy.

Entrepreneurial approach is being proactive, innovative in their approach to their
enterprise. Tourism is the largest growing industry in the world and Oman has the natural
potential for it. The Sultanate of Oman has a diversified economy, unlike many of the gulf
cooperation countries that rely almost entirely on oil revenues. Natural gas and several nonenergy
business sectors, such as tourism, fishing, light manufacturing, and agriculture are
expanding rapidly. Tourism is the most attractive area for entrepreneurs. From the
perpesective of entrepreneurship, tourism provides a specific context that is perceived to be
different from other industrial sectors in terms of identification of entrepreneurial
opportunities and the process of their consumable tourism product. Small and Medium-sized
Enterprises are the main drivers of job creation, growth and economic diversification (Gulf
Research Centre, 2009).Oman is gradually reaping the benefits from tourism that justifies the
strong focus given to this sector of the Sultanate’s economy, which has come a long way over
the past decade and has proven to be an important new source of revenue; in keeping with the
government’s aim of diversification away from overdependence on income generated from
finite fossil fuels. The ever – Increasing scale of tourism, one of the fastest growing sectors of
the global economy, is not only driven by human needs and a desire for travel but also by
business opportunities to respond to increasingly complex human needs and a curiosities (Lee
and Crompton, 1992).These opportunities are realized through the commercialization of
nature, culture, traditions, history, religions as well as other commercial activities and human
achievements. In order to examine the level of entrepreneurship and the factors that underpin
such behavior in the tourism sector, it is necessary to understand the industry structure that is
more complex, as opposed to other industrial sectors and, to a greater degree, integrated into
a wider social and economical context

Decision-making is a cognitive process stemming from the analysis of available courses of action related to a given problem. Rationally, potential courses of action are derived from deliberate analysis of available data related to a problem and its potential outcomes. Decisions are generally characterized as normative, descriptive or naturalistic. Normative decisions are based on evidence, logic and analysis; descriptive decisions are based on intuition and experience. Naturalistic decisions are formed as a hybrid of normative and descriptive processes.

For decision-makers the revolution in information technology and the amount and scope of the data they provide has become overwhelming, leading to cognitive overload, confusion and an inability to function effectively. Decision Support Systems (DSS) facilitate data analysis and selection of a viable course of action rapidly and effectively. However, like the human decision- makers they serve, DSS capabilities may also suffer from cognitive overload, inaccuracy, and complexity, especially in time-sensitive environments.

This study explores DSS employment for time-sensitive decision processes using Digitally Aided Close Air Support (DACAS) as a model. The study explores decision theory, models, DSS development and time-sensitive environments. Using DACAS as a model the paper reveals the obstacles and opportunities associated with the employment of DSS for time- sensitive processes. Finally, the study makes recommendations for improved employment of DSS in time-sensitive environments.

The present study tries to spot the concept of movie-based promoting and quickly presents its development and prominence within the industry. The advancement within the film-based promoting business throughout the year.

Dans un environnement instable et incertain, exigeant une forte capacité à donner du sens, mobiliser, réagir et s’adapter, les modes d’organisation et de management traditionnels en entreprise ont atteint leurs limites. Plutôt que la défiance, l’autorité et le contrôle comme principes clés, l’entreprise a plus que jamais besoin de faire confiance à « ceux qui font », les responsabiliser, libérer leurs initiatives et s’appuyer autant que possible sur l’intelligence collective.

Plusieurs entreprises se sont déjà engagées dans cette voie et des témoignages existent pour montrer tous les bienfaits de ces expériences. Mais quel crédit leur accorder, surtout quand on sait qu’ils émanent généralement soit de dirigeants qui sont à l’initiative de la transformation de leur entreprise, soit de salariés qui sont le plus souvent choisis pour témoigner ? Sans parler du fait que les entreprises qui ont connu des difficultés ou échoué à mener à bien leur transformation rechignent, bien souvent, à témoigner. Pour réussir à croire ces témoignages, il faudrait pouvoir observer les nouvelles formes d’organisation en action, les questionner et évaluer, d’un point de vue aussi indépendant et objectif que possible, leurs effets réels. Or, force est de constater que peu de travaux ayant adopté cette perspective ont été publiés à ce jour. D’où la question qui reste en suspens et que pose cet ouvrage : libérer l’entreprise, ça marche ?

Pour y répondre, 8 études de cas ont été réunies dans cet ouvrage. Ces études sont portées par des disciplines variées : sciences de gestion, psychologie, ergonomie, philosophie. Chacune d’elles concerne une entreprise particulière (parfois deux), dont elle a cherché à comprendre l’origine et les modalités de la transformation ainsi que les effets qu’elle avait eus à travers plusieurs questions : comment la « libération » d’une entreprise impacte le management, son rôle et ses pratiques ? Comment est affectée la vie des collectifs de travail avec des acteurs rendus responsables et autonomes ? Est-ce que les principes de responsabilités et d’autonomie conduisent ces acteurs à réaliser leur travail différemment ? Si oui, est-ce que leurs performances en sont améliorées ? Et quels effets un tel changement a-t-il sur leur santé ?

Les entreprises étudiées sont diverses de par leur taille et leurs secteurs d’activité. Cette diversité permettra au lecteur de découvrir différentes façons de mettre en pratique les principes de responsabilisation et d’autonomie. Et de constater que les effets réels que ces principes produisent sont parfois attendus, parfois beaucoup moins.

Employer branding is referred to as a firm's efforts to promote, both within and outside the firm, a clear view of what makes it different and desirable as an employer. It constitutes an important concept in today's knowledge intensive contexts where attracting employees with superior skills and knowledge comprises a primary source of competitive advantage. This research paper will focus on building employer brand equity by exploring the previous research on employer brand. Based on the Keller brand pyramid this is an attempt to build similar pyramid for employer brand and see if same concepts of customer based brand equity can be used to conceptualize the idea of employer based brand equity. This will help the organizations to understand the ways to build strong employer brand to attract and retain better talent in their organizations.

"Since its very inception, social work has been considered an organizationally based profession, with the majority of its workforce employed within formal organizations. Whether in nonprofit, for-profit, or governmental agencies, the practical realities of human service organizations are a central element of professional social work. This book explores the climate and culture of these agencies and provides essential information for surviving and thriving in this setting. It prepares students for their future careers so that they will feel empowered in their work and be able to fulfill their responsibilities toward organizational, community, and social change. Using real-life examples, the authors examine the internal structures of management, financing, and supervision and discuss common conflicts between agencies and professionals. The book’s straightforward tone and practical advice make it an asset to anyone entering human service organizations.

This new edition contains updated examples, case studies, and references. It also contains valuable information on the effects of the recent financial crisis on human service organizations.

The central role of branding in establishing the firm’s identity and building its position in the
global marketplace among customers, retailers and other marketplace participants, makes it
increasingly imperative for firms to establish a clear cut international branding strategy. This study
examines the impact of branding aspects on firm performance in the emerging markets ofSoutheast
Asia. Specifically, the question of standardization versus adaptation of brandpromotion is the focus
of attention. After literature review, a conceptual model suggests that thestandardization of brand
promotion as well as a long-term brand vision provided by management, positively influence target
market performance. Furthermore, the model considers externalenvironmental factors. Data gathered
from a survey with managers allow testing the hypothesesthrough structural equation modelling. The
results of the quantitative study largely support thehypotheses

Principal leadership key in the success of any school and the public concern on teacher turnover necessitated this study.

Amid the emergence of the 21st century, a new era of modern business has set in India. Liberalization and globalization of Indian economy have provided challenges and opportunities to our new business and which has necessitated re-engineering of the present management education system. Recently, Union Budget is also decreasing the fund for higher education in India for the last five years. This research is focused mainly on existing problems and challenges which are needed to be addressed and seeks to provide the solution thereabout. At present in India, there exists three-tier management education administration i.e., Indian Institutes of Management (IIMs), Entrepreneur's and prestigious industry run best management institutes and management departments of Universities. Besides this, private B-Schools and non-statutory business training institutions also impact business education leading to MBA degree or PGDM diploma. Unfortunately, most of the students don't get the job in the completion of the course. In most of the cases, even the best student doesn't cater to the needs of the market because in the formal education system the gap between what is taught and what is demanded by the market is evident. Hence, an urgent need to rethink and redesign the management courses has arisen. It discusses the rationale of re-engineering of the whole management education system i.e, Admission, Instruction, Infrastructure, Regulation, Examination, Certification, Training and Placement etc.

This study examines the extent to which compensation management can be used as a tool for improving organizational performance in a typical public sector organization like the Anambra State of Nigeria Civil Service. Guided by the Vroom's expectancy theory of motivation, this study seeks to ascertain if financial compensations have a significant relationship with employee performance in the public service using Anambra State Civil Service as a reference. It also aimed at finding out if efforts of the employees are commensurate with financial compensations and ascertain the extent to which reform programmes of the State Government have affected compensation policies and practices. In pursuance of the objectives of the study, the descriptive survey design was adopted. Pearson's Product Moment Correlation was used for data analysis and Z-test was also used to test the significance of the coefficient of correlation at 5% level of significance. It was found that financial compensation for staff members in the public service do not have a significant effect on their performance and that financial compensation received are not commensurate with staff efforts. The study further found that reform programmes of the Government do not have a significant effect on the financial compensation policies and practices in the public sector due to poor compensation management. Based on these findings, it is recommended that for any public service organization such as the Anambra State of Nigeria Civil Service Commission to improve the performance of employees, they should offer financial compensation that will be specifically designed to link it with performance.
