Описание: De Gruyter Studies in Innovation and Entrepreneurship edited by Professor John Bessant, Exeter University De Gruyter Studies in Innovation and Entrepreneurship is a new, original and timely series of monographs that explores the relationship between the two fields of study. It will serve to improve our understanding of the relationship between innovation and entrepreneurship in a range of different contexts from start-up high tech firm through to large corporation trying to reinvent itself, and across to the public and not-for-profit sectors where the concern is with creating social value. Titles in this series will communicate key research findings and offer new perspectives to aid our understanding of the dynamic nature of the relationship between innovation and entrepreneurship. The primary audience for these titles will be academic researchers in the fields of innovation and entrepreneurship incorporating academics from a wide range of disciplines including: business, management, economics, sociology, psychology, healthcare and technology. We are looking for interesting and innovative proposals for projects; these might include: ? Individual research monographs which allow ideas arising from projects to be developed at greater length than might be possible in journal articles. Books which draw together the findings from a larger-scale research programme involving multiple contributors from different organizations and institutions. Such programmes might focus on particular ‘grand challenges’ and offer a number of perspectives on a common topical theme – for example, the role of technology in healthcare or approaches to innovation in mature industries like automobiles. Contributions which focus different perspectives on innovation and entrepreneurship, for example exploring key issues from the standpoint of economists, sociologists, psychologists, business researchers, technologists and beyond.

Barack Obama, 44th President of the United States of America, ended his second--and final--term in office on January 20th, 2017. For eight years, President Obama, along with then-First Lady Michelle Obama, worked to define a new America; a better nation: one that was more inclusive, prosperous and forward-looking than previous administrations. They emphasized the importance of an educated and engaged population, and achieved much in their time in leadership. But much work remains to be done. Collected herein are the Obama's final speeches as the nation's leaders, reminding Americans of the grace, intellect and moral courage with which they guided the country through two terms in the White House. Ultimately, Be Vigilant, But Not Afraid is simply a reflection of what it means to be in civil service, with the goal of serving the interests of the people.

Описание: In The Vigilant Eye, Greg Marquis combines the narrative and chronological approach of traditional institutional history with the critical approaches of social history, legal history and criminology. The book begins with the English and Irish roots of nineteenth-century British North American policing and traces the development of the three models of law enforcement that would shape the future: the local rural constable, the municipal police department and the paramilitary territorial constabulary. Marquis examines the development of provincial police services, whose expansion coincided with the rise of mass automobile ownership and controversies over alcohol prohibition and control, and their eventual absorption into the RCMP. In terms of political policing, the vigilant eye has monitored, harassed and disrupted various social and political movements ranging from Fenians to communists, to Quebec separatists and environmentalists. Marquis argues that the style of community policing in vogue during the 1970s and 1980s lacked confidence and had a limited impact. Canada's simplistic crime-fighting model undermines genuine reform, including curbs on the use of deadly force on citizens, and justifies the increased militarization of policing. Marquis argues that it is time for citizens to turn their vigilant eye towards police and policing in their own communities.

Описание:
This ground-breaking collection of essays examines the scope and consequences of digital vigilantism - a phenomenon emerging on a global scale, which sees digital audiences using social platforms to shape social and political life. Longstanding forms of moral scrutiny and justice seeking are disseminated through our contemporary media landscape, and researchers are increasingly recognising the significance of societal impacts effected by digital media.
The authors engage with a range of cross-disciplinary perspectives in order to explore the actions of a vigilant digital audience - denunciation, shaming, doxing - and to consider the role of the press and other public figures in supporting or contesting these activities. In turn, the volume illuminates several tensions underlying these justice seeking activities - from their capacity to reproduce categorical forms of discrimination, to the diverse motivations of the wider audiences who participate in vigilant denunciations.
This timely volume presents thoughtful case studies drawn both from high-profile Anglo-American contexts, and from developments in regions that have received less coverage in English-language scholarship. It is distinctive in its focus on the contested boundary between policing and entertainment, and on the various contexts in which the desire to seek retribution converges with the desire to consume entertainment.
Introducing Vigilant Audiences will be of great value to researchers and students of sociology, politics, criminology, critical security studies, and media and communication. It will be of further interest to those who wish to understand recent cases of citizen-led justice seeking in their global context.

Описание:
In Vigilant Faith: Passionate Agnosticism in a Secular World, Daniel Boscaljon takes up the contemporary challenges to faith by skepticism and secularism. He proposes a model of faith for believers and unbelievers alike--a passionate agnosticism--that is rooted in a skeptical consciousness. Skepticism and faith are structurally similar, he writes, in that they share an "unknowing" quality. The author argues that vigilance--the act of keeping watch, a spiritual practice in its own right--is as necessary a precondition for the structure of faith as it is for the structure of skepticism. A suspension in uncertainty and an openness to possibility require vigilance, he attests, if faith and skepticism are to avoid the often dogmatic tendencies of both theism and atheism to cling to their own brands of certainty and knowledge.
Boscaljon has three aims: to expand the current, post-theistic definitions of God for greater relevance to human beings on an individual and existential level; to integrate skepticism into faith so that it will restore the importance of faith to current theology and recover it from anti-intellectual bias; and to conceptualize the vigilance of faith in such a way that can provide a vocabulary for distinguishing "good faith" from "bad faith." He offers a variety of cultural examples ranging from film to poetry to represent a life of faith and to show how its components come together in practice. As an alternative to the prevailing fundamentalisms in today's world, his book proposes a paradigmatic understanding of faith in which theism, atheism, and agnosticism refuse to differ.
Drawing on over a hundred years of research into innovation and an in depth research study, the book brings to life the reality of managing established firms to secure advantage through vigilant innovation approaches in disrupting digital era markets.
Exploring how organizations manage new offering development focused innovation across a portfolio of core, adjacent and breakthrough environments, the focus is on the search and select phases of the innovation process, and how established firms identify and validate a range of opportunities.
Companies face the paradox of how to establish search and select processes for focal markets, while also setting up routines to sense and respond to disruptive innovation signals from adjacent and more peripheral markets. The book builds on research into peripheral vision, and considers how organizations manage the crucial early stages of a vigilant innovation process.
The research project at the heart of the book focused on 10 case companies in the publishing sector. The new frameworks developed by the author were informed by over 60 interviews, the innovation literature and the author’s experience as a researcher, consultant and practitioner.
