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.

Do you find making a comparison bad?
Making comparisons can be a natural part of human behavior and can sometimes be helpful in understanding differences or similarities. However, it can become negative when used to belittle others or create feelings of inadequacy. It's important to be mindful of the intention behind making comparisons and to focus on personal growth and improvement rather than trying to measure up to others.

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.

An Introduction to Historical Comparison
Historical comparison as a method of historical analysis goes back to Herodotus in antiquity, yet it was not until the 1920s through the work of historian Marc Bloch that it was recognised as a solid historical method. Even today, some historians are wary of applying a comparative lens to their work.Why is this, Mikhail Krom asks, when historical comparison can be an incredibly insightful approach to history?Designed as a helpful resource for historians, An Introduction to Historical Comparison aims to teach scholars how to develop the skills needed to successfully employ a comparative methodology.It begins by tracing the intellectual history of comparative history writing and then examines the practice of historical comparison.The result is a clear and engaging analysis of historical thinking and a useful guide to main methodological techniques, successes, and pitfalls of comparative research.An Introduction to Historical Comparison is the first comprehensive study of the theory and practice of comparative-historical research.Combining a wide range of case-studies from the best practitioners of historical comparison with an innovative interdisciplinary perspective, this book is thus a meaningful contribution to current debates on historiography.As such, this resource will be of immense value to both students reading historiography and methodology and to historians looking to apply a comparative approach to their own research.

Weak in Comparison to Dreams
"Weak in Comparison to Dreams... is the most courageous and fascinating debut I have read since Mark Z.Danielewski’s House of Leaves." —Full Stop MagazineFor years, Samuel Emmer has monitored bacteria levels in drinking water for the small city of Guelph. He is content to focus on dangerous life-threatening single-celled organisms as his grasp on his own life recedes—and with it, family and friends.To be sure, it is more than a little surprising when Samuel learns that he has been appointed to the city’s Zoo Feasibility Committee.Even more so, that he is being tasked with interacting not just with animals, but human beings.His assignment: travel to zoos around the world and gather information on the stereotypical behavior of animals in their enclosures—the city of Guelph aspiring commendably, if naively, to a cruelty-free habitat for its animals.It is in Tallinn, Estonia, that the dreams start for Samuel.He is in a vast wooded landscape; there is a fire burning in the distance; and it is coming his way… Weak in Comparison to Dreams, by the historian and art critic James Elkins, is like no other novel you have ever read, even as certain inspirations, from Sebald to Tokarczuk, are clear.With an astounding breadth of knowledge and playful courage, Weak in Comparison to Dreams reignites our love for the ambitious novel with experimentation that never lacks intention, and whose empathetic scope explores the deepest aspects of our individual humanity.

How should one best go about making a comparison of penises?
When making a comparison of penises, it is important to consider factors such as size, shape, color, and texture. It is also crucial to approach the comparison with sensitivity and respect for individual differences. One should avoid making judgments or assumptions based on appearance alone and instead focus on communication, mutual consent, and understanding of each other's preferences and boundaries. Ultimately, the best way to compare penises is through open and honest communication with a partner, prioritizing mutual pleasure and comfort.

Metaphor, comparison, or both?
A metaphor is a figure of speech that directly compares two unrelated things, while a comparison is a more general term that can refer to any type of similarity or difference between two things. Both metaphors and comparisons involve highlighting similarities between two things, but a metaphor does so by directly equating one thing with another, often in a more symbolic or imaginative way. So, when considering whether a particular phrase or expression is a metaphor, a comparison, or both, it's important to consider whether the language used directly equates one thing with another in a symbolic or imaginative way.
