Leadership and Strategic Management : Decision-Making in Times of Change
Managers are facing unprecedented complexity, volatility, and ambiguity, quickly adapting their decision-making, leadership, vision, and strategies.Megatrends and forces of change have profound implications for business models, processes, and organizational structures, calling into question current paradigms and designing future change.Additionally, unprecedented disruptions, unforecastable in their nature, have increased the need for resilience and strategic flexibility. The book aims at tackling the potential interrelations among environmental transformations, strategic decisions, and leadership to better understand the role of external and internal factors on the effectiveness of managers.The book defines “change”: its extent, nature, and characteristics.Then, it focuses on decision-making, the role of potential cognitive biases, and how the interaction with the perception of determined environmental events affects the way in which decision-makers decide to implement specific strategies.Finally, in the light of waves of strategic change, it reviews theories on leadership and transformation by looking at the role and traits of leaders. Since environmental transformations have the potential to “disrupt” not only strategies but also decision-making processes and leadership, the book provides a review on the issue and propose an integrative framework which can be useful for both scholars and managers, especially in the fields of decision-making and strategy.

Which federal states have sole decision-making authority?
In a federal system like the United States, federal states that have sole decision-making authority are often referred to as "unitary states." In these states, the central government holds all decision-making power and delegates limited authority to lower levels of government. Examples of unitary states include France, Japan, and the United Kingdom, where the central government has the final say on most policy matters. This centralized system contrasts with federal states like the U.S. and Germany, where power is shared between the central government and individual states or regions.

How can citizens' councils be equipped with political decision-making authority?
Citizens' councils can be equipped with political decision-making authority by implementing a system of direct democracy, where citizens have the power to directly participate in decision-making processes. This can be achieved through mechanisms such as citizen initiatives, referendums, and participatory budgeting, which allow citizens to propose, vote on, and influence policy decisions. Additionally, citizens' councils can be given formal recognition and support from government institutions, ensuring that their recommendations and decisions are taken into consideration in the political decision-making process. Furthermore, providing citizens' councils with access to resources, information, and expertise can help to enhance their capacity to make informed and effective decisions.

What does central authority and authoritarian leadership mean?
Central authority refers to a system where power and decision-making are concentrated in a single entity or group, such as a government or leader. Authoritarian leadership is a style of leadership where the leader holds all the power and makes decisions without input from others.

Design for Micro-Utopias : Making the Unthinkable Possible
Everyone is already painfully aware of our predicament - ecological extinctions, dwindling fossil fuel reserves and economic chaos.The solutions are less obvious, despite the many opportunities that surround us.We have never had more access to resources, knowledge and technology but this is not the problem.What we lack most is creative thinking, fuelled by collective optimism.In a pragmatic world run by careerist experts this is hardly surprising.As voters and consumers we are trained to choose and complain, but not how to envisage what we really, really want.How can we design a better world unless we revive the art of dreaming?For without dreams we are lost. Perhaps it should be the duty of all citizens to imagine alternative futures; in effect, to think more like designers.After all, designers have always been dreamers, and have often found ways to realize their dreams. Design for Micro-Utopias does not advocate a single, monolithic Utopia.Rather, it invites readers to embrace a more pluralized and mercurial version of Thomas More's famous 1516 novel of the same name.It therefore encourages the proliferation of many 'micro-utopias' rather than one 'Utopia'.This requires a less negative, critical and rational approach.Referencing a wide range of philosophical thinking from Aristotle to the present day, western and eastern spiritual ideals, and scientific, biological and systems theory, John Wood offers remedies for our excessively individualistic, mechanistic and disconnected thinking, and asks whether a metadesign approach might bring about a new mode of governance.This is a daring idea. Ultimately, he reminds us that if we believe that we will never be able to design miracles we make it more likely that this is so.The first step is to turn the 'impossible' into the 'thinkable'.

These Possible Lives
New Directions is proud to present Fleur Jaeggy’s strange and mesmerizing essays about the writers Thomas De Quincey, John Keats, and Marcel Schwob.A renowned stylist of hyper-brevity in fiction, Fleur Jaeggy proves herself an even more concise master of the essay form, albeit in a most peculiar and lapidary poetic vein.Of De Quincey’s early nineteenth-century world we hear of the habits of writers: Charles Lamb “spoke of ‘Lilliputian rabbits’ when eating frog fricassse”; Henry Fuseli “ate a diet of raw meat in order to obtain splendid dreams”; “Hazlitt was perceptive about musculature and boxers”; and “Wordsworth used a buttery knife to cut the pages of a first-edition Burke.” In a book of “blue devils” and night visions, the Keats essay opens: “In 1803, the guillotine was a common child’s toy.” And poor Schwob’s end comes as he feels “like a ‘dog cut open alive’”: “His face colored slightly, turning into a mask of gold.His eyes stayed open imperiously. No one could shut his eyelids. The room smoked of grief.” Fleur Jaeggy’s essays—or are they prose poems?—smoke of necessity: the pages are on fire.

Is a citizens' initiative the same as a citizens' decision?
No, a citizens' initiative and a citizens' decision are not the same. A citizens' initiative is a process where citizens can propose new laws or changes to existing laws through a petition that gathers a certain number of signatures. On the other hand, a citizens' decision is a process where citizens directly vote on a specific issue or law, usually through a referendum. While both involve citizen participation in the decision-making process, they differ in terms of the level of involvement and the specific mechanism used to influence policy.
