Halvin toimitettuna 51,70 €

Is the University as we know it dead? Monika Kostera thinks not, but across the globe universities are under attack, be it by external forces or from within. Will they survive? Our civilisation requires that they must: planetary survival and sustainability depend on them. This book provides vital resources to give us all - professional academics, students, and university administrators - hope that universities will emerge renewed out of the current crisis. As this inspiring work shows, the practice of academic virtues can enable us to cultivate the awareness of the common good that academia serves: the preservation and development of humanity's potential of knowledge. Drawing on a rich variety of ideas, theories, empirical cases, real and fictitious stories, as well as examples and images from art and literature, Monika Kostera demonstrates the splendid complexity of academic ecosystems. It is through looking for hope for the university that we find hope for society and the planet. In suggesting tangible steps for restoring a sense of meaning to academic work and the collegial community worldwide, The University of Hope shows us a path out of the darkness.

Resistance and the Neoliberal Organization

Resistance and the Neoliberal Organization

Kociatkiewicz Jerzy; Monika Kostera; Anna Zueva

Edward Elgar Publishing
2026
Sidottu
Within this period of unstable institutions and social guarantees, traditional paths of resistance appear to have exhausted their efficacy. Jerzy Kociatkiewicz, Monika Kostera, and Anna Zueva explore novel approaches to understanding and improving resistance against inequality, injustice, and environmental breakdown. Chapters reframe the narrative of the word ‘resistance’, treating it as a constructive element of the common good. They dissect the myth of technological determinism to advocate for more socially responsible engagements. Proposing imagination as a pathway of resistance, the book examines themes of leadership, technology, property, and management to redefine resistance. It moves beyond binary choices to place faith in the nurture of complex human connections and solidarity, and stresses the importance of belonging as an essential resource for organizers. Resistance and the Neoliberal Organization is a valuable resource for students and academics of business management, ethics, and trust. Researchers and policymakers interested in sociology and organizational behaviour will also benefit from the insights provided.

How to Teach Management Differently

How to Teach Management Differently

Monika Kostera

EDWARD ELGAR PUBLISHING LTD
2025
sidottu

Halvin toimitettuna 122,70 €

In this book, Monika Kostera discusses management education, examining its underpinning ideas and practical implications in context. She explores how current key educational objectives can be redirected towards robust ecosystemic and humanistic agendas rather than serving as ideology supporting managerial systems. Adopting an innovative approach to the goals of business education, Kostera draws on existing knowledge to work towards much needed change in the face of global issues such as climate change, inequality, and discrimination. Presenting concrete ideas and signposts on how to teach management to extend learning outcomes into actionable values, this How to guide also includes thought experiments and case studies to demonstrate how these principles may work in practice. Kostera recognizes that a change of perspective is required in management education, moving from a purely business standpoint against the background of rapidly deteriorating global institutions to a more sustainable solution. How to Teach Management Differently is an enlightening read for scholars and students of management education. It is also a beneficial resource for higher education policymakers and readers interested in business and management education.

Poetry and Organizing

Poetry and Organizing

EDWARD ELGAR PUBLISHING LTD
2025
sidottu

Halvin toimitettuna 160,10 €

This creative book discusses the value of poetry within the field of management and organization studies. It examines how researchers can understand poetry and incorporate it into their work, exploring ways that poetry encourages readers to defy the status quo and engage in activism. Bringing together two supposedly contrary concepts, poetry and organization, the authors highlight sensorial and feminist approaches to organization rooted in affect and embodiment. Drawing on their unique experiences, authors share their own poems and outline how these relate to organization, illustrating a poem’s capacity to be either politically inclusionary or exclusionary. Combining narrative chapters with poems, they demonstrate how the organizational dimensions of renowned poetry reflect contemporary management practices. The book invites readers to consider what constitutes ‘good’ management, using poetry to destabilize existing paradigms concerning the social and the organized. Poetry and Organizing is an invigorating read for students and academics in business studies, organization studies and literature. Its insights into working landscapes, enriched by the authors diverse international backgrounds, expertise and perspectives, will also greatly benefit researchers and practitioners in business management.

Eldens psykoanalys

Eldens psykoanalys

Gaston Bachelard; Monika Kostera

Bokförlaget Faethon
2024
nidottu
Eldens psykoanalys (1949) är en studie av en kraft som fascinerat mänskligheten. Elden undersöks som mytisk kraft, rent vetenskapligt och som känsla. Vad är det med elden som tänder den mänskliga fantasin? Genom boken låter filosofen elden lysa upp det undermedvetna och läsaren får resa in i ett kollektivt psyke. Elden är grundläggande för människan och har format henne till den hon är idag. Boken har ett nyskrivet förord av Monika Kostera. Gaston Bachelard (1884-1962) var en fransk filosof och professor vid Sorbonne. I sitt omfattande författarskap om vetenskapsfilosofi och den historiska epistemologin var han en föregångare till senare franska filosofer som Louis Althusser, Michel Foucault och Jacques Derrida. Hans vetenskapsfilosofi koncentrerar sig kring det som kan benämnas som »epistemologiska brott«, ett identifierande av vetenskapernas diskontinuerliga framväxt. Vid sidan av detta filosofiska arbete ägnade han flera studier åt litteratur och undersökte bland annat hur de fyra elementen inverkar på människans fantasi och liv.

Bedeninizin en saglikli ve dinç oldugu zamanlari büro koltugunuzda Excel tablolarina bakarak harcadiniz. Sevdiklerinize ayiracaginiz onca zamani senede iki hafta tatille takas ettiniz. Simdi emekli oldunuz ve eskisi kadar esnek ve saglam olmayan eklemleriniz örgü örmek yahut kâgit oynamaktan daha fazla efor içeren mesafeleri kaldirmiyor. O kadar da güzel bir düs degilmis sanki? Öyleyse ne yapmali? Yatirimcilarina 1 milyar dolardan fazla kazandirmis, Wall Street''in "son kovboy"u lakapli Bill Perkins''e göre üçüncü bir yol mevcut. Sifiri Görmek, her gelir seviyesinden insana parasini ve hayatini en üst düzeyde optimize etme imkâni sunan bir teoriyle kapinizi çaliyor. Birikimlerinizi "altin yillar" için saklamak yerine, hayatinizin her aninda unutulmaz deneyimler yasamak için kullanmada sizi yüreklendiriyor. Üstelik bunu geleceginizi riske atmadan yapabileceginizi müjdeliyor.

After The Apocalypse

After The Apocalypse

Monika Kostera

John Hunt Publishing
2020
nidottu
Our times of crumbling structures and decaying social bonds are often depicted as apocalyptic. This book takes the apocalypse as a metaphor to help us in the search for meaning in our everyday realities. Yes, the apocalypse is when social structures and institutions fall apart and we are terrified and suffocated by the debris raining down upon us. But “apocalypse" also means “revelation”. The very collapse reveals what dissipating institutions were constructed upon: where there ought to have been foundational common values, most often there is violence and raw power. Yet the values are there, too, and they can be found. This book is a guide to these values, showing how they can be of help to organizers and organizational dreamers.

The Imagined Organization

The Imagined Organization

Monika Kostera

Edward Elgar Publishing Ltd
2020
sidottu
Organizing is made possible by sense-making. This book represents a narrative quest for a symbolic grounding to help leaders in times when stable social structures and institutions dissolve and disappear. Monika Kostera approaches this sense-making process through innovative and exciting research methods, collecting stories from participants and exploring plots and outcomes of an imagined meeting between two symbolic worlds: one of the internal and imaginative and the other of the external and corporate. Investigating the spatiality and temporality of these stories, the author offers critical implications for educational practice, arguing that teachers should engage and develop students' imaginations and creativity to question the hidden rules of social settings and interactions in organizational and business situations. Innovative and visionary in scope, this book will be critical for researchers of organization theory at all levels, particularly those looking for new research methods and applications. Students of business and organizational studies will also benefit from its unique insights into business-related settings, as well as leaders and practitioners searching for innovative directions in business environments.

Management in a Liquid Modern World

Management in a Liquid Modern World

Zygmunt Bauman; Irena Bauman; Jerzy Kociatkiewicz; Monika Kostera

Polity Press
2015
sidottu
Management has been one of the driving forces of the last century, indeed an idea and a language that colonized most other institutions, areas of human activity and walks of life, even those that had until recently been regarded as completely unmanageable, such as art, academia and creativity. Some it supported and others it destroyed, but there are few areas in modern societies that have been untouched by it. What is the meaning of management now almost omnipresent and all-powerful in our current bleak times, in our current state of 'interregnum' that is characterized by an increasing sense of insecurity and hopelessness, a time when, paradoxically, the seemingly omnipotent force of management does not seem to work? Does it have a role to play today and in the future? What can it become and whom should it serve when the interregnum is over and a new, hopefully more humane, system begins to dawn? These are some of the questions explored in this timely new book by Zygmunt Bauman, one of the greatest thinkers of our times, architect and Urban Studies professor Irena Bauman, and two organization and management scholars, Jerzy Kociatkiewicz and Monika Kostera.

Occupy Management

Occupy Management

Monika Kostera

Routledge
2015
nidottu
It can be said that our times are characterized both by the omnipresence of organizations and by the destabilization of organized social life, caused by the erosion of its structural and moral foundations such as long-term employment, social trust or an actual observance of the proclaimed codes of ethics. At the same time there is a huge and growing potential for organized change due to the amount of students and graduates of different types of management studies and programmes all over the world. The role of the state may become atrophied and corporations seem all too eager to seize ever more power while renouncing responsibility towards the environment and the employees, but a huge and unprecedented number of people from all walks of life, all social classes and all countries now have the qualifications to take over the responsibility for social organizations. The objective of Occupy Management: Inspirations and Ideas for Self-Organization and Self-Management is to make it evident to the student why and how he or she can manage without becoming part of corporate power structures. Aimed at postgraduate students studying organizational and management theory as well as social entrepreneurship, this book is not a simple repetition of essential knowledge in these areas, but a re-direction of such knowledge towards self-management and self-organization.
