The textbook offers an introduction to the elementary connection between social work and the human need for food. At present, hunger as a basic human need has become a secondary issue in social work, although the two are constitutively linked. The tasks of social work lie in the fulfilment of basic human needs, especially in its historical predecessors. For the first time, this introduction provides an overview of the multi-layered aspects of social work with regard to satisfying the need for hunger in socio-historical terms and in various constellations of social work, and also focuses on the abuse of power in educational contexts. Depending on social developments and the resulting life situations, hunger and food poverty are recurring major challenges and as such must be integrated into socio-educational thinking and reflected in action. This textbook provides contexts and suggestions for new approaches in this area.

Established firms need to balance their current business with future opportunities. The structures and processes that foster renewal and innovation differ from those allowing the firm to maintain daily operations. This book explores how managers can develop innovation capacity in the established firm, thus enabling repeated innovation and renewal. The underlying foundation of the book is the belief that innovation is a result of the interactions among people within and around the established firm. We present eight distinct organizational solutions that enable innovation and renewal. For each solution, we describe the theory behind it and illustrate it with recent cases, most of them from Norway or the Nordics. The book targets managers and employees in the private and public sectors who hold responsibility for innovation and renewal in an established firm. It is also suitable for students, particularly within the fields of strategy, organization and management.

To what extent do minority writers feel represented by the literary canon of a nation and its body of "great works"? To what extent do they adhere to, or contest, the supposedly universal values conveyed through those texts and how do they situate their own works within the national tradition? Building on Edward W. Said’s contrapuntal readings and Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak’s reflections on the voice of the subaltern, this monograph examines the ways in which Rafik Schami, Emine Sevgi Özdamar, and Feridun Zaimoglu have re-read, challenged, and adapted the German canon. Similar to other writers in postcolonial contexts, their work on the canon entails an inquiry into history and a negotiation of their relation to the texts and representations that define the "host" nation. Through close analyses of the works of these non-native German authors, the book investigates the intersection between politics, ethics, and aesthetics in their work, focusing on the appropriation and re-evaluation of cultural legacies in German-language literature. Opening up a rich critical dialogue with scholars of German Studies and Postcolonial Theory, Christine Meyer provides a fresh perspective on German-language minority literature since the reunification.

Das Lehrbuch bietet einen Einstieg in Fragen rund um drei für Soziale Arbeit bedeutende Genussmittel: Kaffee, Tabak und Zucker. Fachkräfte der Sozialen Arbeit sind wiederkehrend in ganz verschiedenen Perspektiven mit ihrem Konsum befasst. Neben gesundheitsbezogenen Fragen aufgrund der gesellschaftlichen Ächtung von (zu viel) Zucker und Tabak lassen sich an ihnen bedeutende sozialpädagogische Fragen aufmachen, die jenseits gesundheitsbezogener, z. B. Fragen der Gastlichkeit, der Gestaltung professionell angenehmer Atmosphären, der Verteilung sowie des offenen Zugangs betreffen. In nahezu jedem sozialpädagogischen Setting werden täglich Verzehrsituationen bzw. Mahlzeiten geplant, angeboten und durchgeführt. Für die Soziale Arbeit über die Bereitstellung ausreichender und ausgewogener Ernährung hinaus verantwortlich ist für die Bereitstellung von Genussmitteln und deren Konsum vor dem Hintergrund gesellschaftlich relevanter eingelebter Kulturen und Traditionen. Das Lehrbuch ermöglicht, über den Gesamtzusammenhang von Genussmitteln im Zusammenhang mit Ernährung als grundlegende und voraussetzungsvolle Bedingungen sozialpädagogischen Denkens und Handelns reflektieren zu können. In allen Handlungsfeldern der Sozialen Arbeit sind Genussmittel auf unterschiedlichen Ebenen und mit verschiedenen Funktionen wiederkehrend Thema und können als täglich zu bewältigende Herausforderung eingeschätzt werden. Diese grundlegende Einführung ermöglicht eine Bewusstmachung und damit auch fachliche Reflexionsmöglichkeiten für den individuellen und gesellschaftlich verantwortlichen sozialpädagogischen Umgang von Fachkräften mit Fragen rund um die insbesondere für Soziale Arbeit bedeutenden Genussmittel Kaffee, Tabak und Zucker.

Das Lehrbuch bietet einen Einstieg in die elementare Verbindung Sozialer Arbeit mit dem menschlichen Nahrungsbedürfnis. Gegenwärtig ist Hunger als menschliches Grundbedürfnis in der Sozialen Arbeit zur Nebensache geworden, obwohl beide konstitutiv miteinander verbunden sind. Aufgaben Sozialer Arbeit liegen, offensichtlich vor allem in den historischen Vorläufern, in der Befriedigung menschlicher Grundbedürfnisse. Die Einführung liefert erstmals einen Überblick über die vielschichtigen Aspekte Sozialer Arbeit im Hinblick auf die Befriedigung des Hungerbedürfnisses in gesellschafts-historischer Hinsicht sowie in verschiedenen Konstellationen Sozialer Arbeit und greift zudem den Schwerpunkt machtmissbräuchlicher Zusammenhänge in erzieherischen Kontexten auf. In Abhängigkeit von gesellschaftlichen Entwicklungen und daraus entstehenden Lebenslagen gehören Hunger bzw. Ernährungsarmut wiederkehrend zu den bedeutenden Herausforderungen und müssen als solche im sozialpädagogischen Denken integriert und im Handeln reflektiert werden. Dieses Lehrbuch liefert Zusammenhänge und Anregungen für neue Zugänge in diesem Bereich.

Ikke for å konkurrere tar et oppgjør med den ukritiske bruken av markedsøkonomiske begreper og styringsverktøy i offentlig sektor. Offentlige etater og virksomheter er ikke der for å konkurrere, for å tjene penger eller for å hegne om den kompetansen de bygger opp. De er der for å utføre oppgaver som velgerne har gitt dem, for å gjøre det på en måte som innebærer at de samme velgerne, i egenskap av brukere, får mest mulig igjen for innsatsen, og for å dele sine erfaringer og kunnskaper fritt med andre. Dette betyr at offentlige virksomheter trenger et annet begrepsapparat og andre strategiske styringsverktøy enn privat sektor. Boken bygger, ved hjelp av samfunnsøkonomisk og strategifaglig teori, et rammeverk for oppdragsformulering og strategiutvikling for statlige og kommunale etater. Christine Meyer er professor i strategi og ledelse ved NHH, og Victor Norman har vært professor i samfunnsøkonomi samme sted. Begge har lang erfaring fra politikk og offentlig administrasjon.

Winner of the Gold Medal in the 2016 Living Now Book Awards In the course of their lifetime, one out of two men and one out of three women will be diagnosed with cancer. Many of us watch in desperation as our friends and loved ones fight for their lives. But after seeing several of her patients and her dearest aunt engage in a battle with cancer, Dr. Christine Meyer decided to embark on a quest for hope - and through happenstance and love, a team of runners emerged that empowered a community to make a difference, not only in the lives of cancer patients, but in one another's lives. Along the way, Meyer learned that the true measure of a doctor's success is not the number of lives saved but the number of lives touched.

Der bereits begonnene, sich allmahlich deutlich sichtbar vollziehende Wandel der Gese- schaft zu einer insgesamt kleiner werdenden in ihrer Gesamtbevolkerungszahl und mit zunehmend hoheren Anteilen alterer Menschen, wird die gegenwartig geltenden und dur- gesetzten, faktisch uber Erwerbsarbeitsstrukturen dominierten Zeitstrukturen funktional umbauen. Darin liegen Chancen zur bewussten aktiven Veranderung tradierten Zeitempf- dens, Zeitverstandnisses und Zeitgebrauchs uber reflektierte, sinngebende Gestaltung. Gleichzeitig bietet das Phanomen Zeit dem Menschen eine tiefreichende, weitvernetzte Ansatzmoglichkeit fur existenzielles Nachdenken und Auseinandersetzung, die zum Thema Zeit in jeglicher Hinsicht und jeder historischen Phase in unterschiedlichen Wissenschaf- disziplinen und kulturellen Zusammenhangen wie Musik, Literatur, Theater Tradition hat. Die Fulle aktueller Publikationen zum Phanomen Zeit, von der Ratgeberebene bis poli- schen wie zu philosophischen Abhandlungen erweist sich als kaum uberschaubar, all- dings auch als redundant. Zeit an sich besitzt die besondere Eigenschaft bereits im Moment der Auseinanders- zung uber den Versuch, ihr naher zu kommen oder sie begreifbar zu machen, zugleich im Schwinden begriffen zu sein. Zeit wird mit jedem Moment unsichtbarer, indem ihr jemand uber reflektierende Bestimmung naher kommen mochte. Und dennoch wird jeder Mensch im Laufe seines Lebens zum Philosophen im Sinne des Nachdenkens uber seine Stellung im Universum oder des Zusammenhangs seines Lebens und der Dinge in der Welt. V- herrschendes Thema des Alltagsphilosophierens ist die Zeit. Gerade das Phanomen Zeit hat in besonderer Weise dazu herausgefordert, sich mit dem Subjekt-Objekt-Verhaltnis aus- nanderzusetzen und damit die Unauflosbarkeit uber dieses nur wieder und wieder zu rep- duzieren."
