Mexico's Political Stability The Next Five Years

Mexico's Political Stability The Next Five Years

Mexico is undergoing its worst economic cr1s1s since the world depression of the 1930s. In this volume contributors analyze significant patterns that might affect political stability and legitimacy economic viability and social change over the next several years often reaching controversial conclusions. They argue for example that the military is not likely to change its present civil-military role; that political opposition rather than political violence or pressure from foreign governments will have the most profound influence on the changing pattern of political legitimacy and system stability; and that decision-making in the private sector may have the greatest potential to resolve or exacerbate the current crisis. Finally they suggest that because economic conditions have been altered so dramatically in the recent period Mexican policymakers will need to develop a new range of political alternatives to stabilize the economy and redirect the country's future. | Mexico's Political Stability The Next Five Years

Families in Business The Next Generation of Family Evolution

Families in Business The Next Generation of Family Evolution

This book offers a ‘contemporary’ understanding of families in business and serves as a springboard for ongoing evolution of families their composition transformations and activities. The first chapter in this volume highlights the different approaches to family and concludes that identifying and understanding the entity ‘family in business’ is the cornerstone to understanding behaviours of family businesses. The concept of ‘family in business’ as a socially constructed entity allows for not only a broader scope of the concept to include individuals who share a faith (chapter 2) but also multi- generational families and chosen families. Narratives or stories are means for families in business to mark the boundary of the family in business (chapter 3) because not all members of the family are necessarily members of the family in business. Families and their businesses influence each other (chapter 4) and engender the family influence on the firm (‘familiness’) and firm influence of the family (‘enterpriseness’). The last two chapters are dedicated to transgenerational family businesses with a focus on learning between generations—chapter 5 highlights the importance of unlearning (to learn new knowledge and different ways of conducting business) and the final chapter focuses on what knowledge is actually transferred relative to initial plans. The chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue of Entrepreneurship & Regional Development. | Families in Business The Next Generation of Family Evolution

Validation of Score Meaning for the Next Generation of Assessments The Use of Response Processes

Validation of Score Meaning for the Next Generation of Assessments The Use of Response Processes

Despite developments in research and practice on using examinee response process data in assessment design the use of such data in test validation is rare. Validation of Score Meaning in the Next Generation of Assessments Using Response Processes highlights the importance of validity evidence based on response processes and provides guidance to measurement researchers and practitioners in creating and using such evidence as a regular part of the assessment validation process. Response processes refer to approaches and behaviors of examinees when they interpret assessment situations and formulate and generate solutions as revealed through verbalizations eye movements response times or computer clicks. Such response process data can provide information about the extent to which items and tasks engage examinees in the intended ways. With contributions from the top researchers in the field of assessment this volume includes chapters that focus on methodological issues and on applications across multiple contexts of assessment interpretation and use. In Part I of this book contributors discuss the framing of validity as an evidence-based argument for the interpretation of the meaning of test scores the specifics of different methods of response process data collection and analysis and the use of response process data relative to issues of validation as highlighted in the joint standards on testing. In Part II chapter authors offer examples that illustrate the use of response process data in assessment validation. These cases are provided specifically to address issues related to the analysis and interpretation of performance on assessments of complex cognition assessments designed to inform classroom learning and instruction and assessments intended for students with varying cultural and linguistic backgrounds.

The Russian Presidency of Dmitry Medvedev 2008-2012 The Next Step Forward or Merely a Time Out?

The Russian Presidency of Dmitry Medvedev 2008-2012 The Next Step Forward or Merely a Time Out?

The term tandem was used to describe the Putin-Medvedev combination which ruled Russia from 2008 to 2012 when Medvedev was president and Putin prime minister. Many people saw Putin as the real wielder of power with Medvedev as his puppet. Others however saw Medvedev as a visionary someone who envisioned large scale schemes - even though these schemes have not yet come to fruition. At the same time many in the West regarded Medvedev favourably and gave him credit for raising expectations among both the elite and the middle classes in Russia in such a way as to make it difficult for the Russian state to return to its old ways. This book presents a comprehensive survey of the Medvedev presidency covering all areas including politics the economy international relations and social developments. The author concludes that it is still too early to assess Medvedev's achievements definitively. | The Russian Presidency of Dmitry Medvedev 2008-2012 The Next Step Forward or Merely a Time Out?

Leading the eLearning Transformation of Higher Education Leadership Strategies for the Next Generation

Leading the eLearning Transformation of Higher Education Leadership Strategies for the Next Generation

Published in Association with eLearning has entered the mainstream of higher education as an agent of strategic change. This transformation requires eLearning leaders to develop the skills to innovate successfully at a time of heightened competition and rapid technological change. In this environment eLearning leaders must act within their institutions as much more than technology managers and assume the prime role of helping their institutions understand the opportunities that eLearning presents for faculty for students and for client organizations in the community. They need to prepare to participate in policy development around these opportunities. They must understand the multiple dimensions of practice in the field—operations administration and working within the complex culture of a higher education institution—while also functioning as scholars of the field who can bring the best ideas from other institutions to help shape policy around eLearning. The second edition builds on the success of the first edition and presents both the collective expertise of veterans who have pioneered the field for 20 years and of a rising generation of eLearning leaders that are transforming online programs at their own institutions to address these challenges. This edition has been updated and expanded to reflect the increasing complexity of the field with seven new chapters and the revision of eight chapters that appeared in the first edition. New and updated topics include:·The evolving role of the chief online learning officer·Issues of diversity as more women and minorities enter leadership roles in the field·The increasing role of learning analytics and data-based decisions·The potential tensions involved in cohort-based versus individualized instruction·The increasing need for faculty professional development·The affordances of cloud computing adaptive learning artificial intelligence the internet of things and mobile learning to the field·The open educational resources movement and the implications for institutional policy and practice·The challenges of an increasingly complex competitive environment·AccessibilityThere are few comparable positions in higher education than that of eLearning leaders who work across multiple academic and support units and whose work fundamentally affects the institution as a whole. This volume is written for them. | Leading the eLearning Transformation of Higher Education Leadership Strategies for the Next Generation
