Managing the changed landscape of flexible working

The importance of conducting research on the processes of formation and development of the employer brand is substantiated in the article. The impact of the employer brand on the processes of attracting and retaining talented employees has been proven. The employer brand is defined as an important component of the company's competitiveness and success. Among the main benefits of the HR brand for the company are reduced costs for attracting and retaining highly qualified personnel; increased employee loyalty and reduced personal risks; expanded investment opportunities; and stakeholder support. It has been found that employer brand management is a rather complex process that requires systematic research, analysis and results of which have a long-term perspective. the research on the definition of the category "employer brand" has been generalized. The employer brand is considered to be a certain image that carries generalized information about the company as a whole, the working environment it creates, the possibility or lack of career development, and the corporate culture. The author proves the importance of the labor market positioning process, which includes a set of measures aimed at determining the competitive advantages of an enterprise in the labor market and their practical implementation with a view to creating an attractive image of the company as an attractive employer. The main factors influencing the employer brand are divided into internal and external. The main internal factors include organizational and corporate culture; management style; company values and mission; internal communication; availability of career development opportunities; compensation package; company size; social responsibility; job security; flexible working hours and working conditions. Among the external factors are the following: reputation in the labor market; presence of competitors; external communication (PR strategy); product brand reputation; changes in demand for the company's products; political instability in certain regions; and the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. It is proved that successful employer brand management requires an integrated approach to forming a value proposition for employees and meeting their needs and expectations.

Burger, Glenn, and Steven Kruger, eds. 2001. the Middle Ages. Minneapolis: University of Minnesota Press. $54.95hc. $19.95sc. 256 pp.Jacobs, Kathryn. 2001. Marriage Contracts from Chaucer to the Renaissance Stage. Gainesville: University Press of Florida. $59.95hc. 192 pp.Medieval Studies has often been perceived by those outside the field as scholarly backwater, mire of Byzantine languages and sub-disciplines so numerous that their mastery leaves little or no room for methodological sophistication. While innovative work can be found in many areas of the field, it is in the study of medieval sexualities that contemporary theoretical models and methodological trends have most often been developed. During the 1980s and early 1990s, for example, the study of female mysticism in the Middle Ages was especially innovative. This work on mysticism and sexuality fed off of and supported related series of studies on gender and textuality that helped change the way medievalists practiced their discipline.No one should be surprised, then, to find that has for most of the 1990s found ardent practitioners among medievalists. Much like the place of in other disciplines, its presence in Medieval Studies has been both controversial and invigorating. In Before the Closet: Same Sex Love from Beowulf to Angels in America, Allen Frantzen, leading scholar of same-sex love in pre-modern England, disparages as a collection of methods and perspectives that pursue an aggressive politics of gay and lesbian liberation . . . merrily sweeping all work on the history of sex into its domain (1998, 6). In contrast, Carolyn Dinshaw-who might fairly be deemed the most influential theorist working in medieval studies-sees in powerful models for engaging with history, models seeking partial, affective connections . . . community . . . even touch across time (1999, 21). Despite the controversy surrounding it, the importance of as central party to the discussion of medieval sexuality and its influence on the cultural products of the age can be easily understood by comparing two recent books devoted to that effort.Queering the Middle Ages, collection of essays edited by Glenn Burger and Steven Kruger, and Kathryn Jacobs's Marriage Contracts from Chaucer to the Renaissance Stage, present two dramatically different approaches to the role of sexuality in medieval culture and to the understanding of what Medieval Studies ought to be. The distinction does not, as it might seem at first glance, lie in sexual preference: gay versus straight. I doubt that any of the contributors to the Middle Ages would seriously challenge book's usefulness simply because its primary focus was hetero- not homosexuality. Rather, what separates these books is whole series of concerns about how medievalists should pursue their subject, regardless of whether or not that subject is gay, lesbian, or straight. In fact, history, and the relationship between the historical critic, the historical text, and the context within which that text originated form the core differences between these two studies. Historical practice, then, as much as sexuality, is at stake in these books and in the larger debate about the study of sexuality.Queering the Middle Ages celebrates the manifold possibilities of queerness (in the form of theory) as positive presence in the community of medieval scholars. On this basis alone, it ought to find itself on many graduate reading lists. After brief introduction (which could provide better general introduction to theory), the book delivers three groups of essays, each group followed by response essay. That the essays problematize the notion of queerness as much as they present it is apparent in the very first selection. Marilynn Desmond and Pamela Sheingorn's Queering Ovidian Myths opens with tactical rejection of queer theory as label for the theoretical work they are about to undertake. …

Between Paradigm Shift Judaism and Neo-Hasidism

Major changes which have occurred since this book was first published have been included in this edition. In particular, the chapter on Germany has been substantially revised and now includes a separate section on easter Germany. The other five countries covered in the book have also witnessed changes in their business culture and these have been taken into consideration. This book examines the background to business practice in Europe of six major countries: Germany, France, Italy, the UK, Spain and the Netherlands. Each chapter tracks the commercial development of that country in the late 1970s, 1980s and early 1990s, focusing on the business environment, special features affecting business, and the response to the EC's single market. The business culture section in each is divided further into business and government, business and the economy, business and the law, business and finance, business and the labour market, business and trade unions and business training, education and development. The test is organized in such a manner to enable cross-referencing between countries, and maps have been included in the new edition.

I have been trying to present in the preceding chapters an idea of the fundamental problems and aspirations which Hegel's philosophy was addressed to. And I have suggested that we can best see these in the light of the yearning of his time to find a way of life and thought which would unite two powerful aspirations, which were both connected yet opposed. One is to that unity with nature, other men and himself which man demands as an expressive being; the other is to the radical moral autonomy which reached paradigm expression in Kant and Fichte. I have suggested that Hegel by the early 1800s had come to realize how deeply these two aspirations were opposed to each other. In particular, he had come to see that freedom required the breaking up of expressive unity, of the original undivided wholeness within man and communion with other men and nature, which he like many contemporaries attributed to an earlier age – principally that of ancient Greece. The sense of fragmentation within, and of exile in a dead, mechanical universe and society, which so many writers of the age had experienced and testified to, was not an inexplicable and unmitigated loss of an earlier paradise. Rather it was the result of an ineluctable development, essential for the full realization of man as rational and free agent. But the story was not to end there. This necessary division was to be healed in a higher reconciliation.

How effectively the securities industry operates affects economic well­ being in the United States. Corporations rely on the industry to raise much of the capital allowing them to survive and expand, although, since the early 1980s, securities markets have been more important as centers for trading and sources of short-term financing than as sources for new long-term capital (Advisory Committee on the Capital Formation and Regulatory Processes, 1996: Appendix A, Figure 1). Customers are willing to invest in manufacturing and other industries because they are not locked in to decisions; they can liquidate their investments using the secondary markets such as stock exchanges and the over-the-counter (OTC) market. Governments could not operate without a market for governmental debt, and elected officials are sensitive to what financial markets’ vitality implies for national welfare. Certain defining episodes in U.S. history involved the securities markets, such as the frantic market speculation and manipulations in the 1920s, the Depression in the 1930s, and most recently (and probably less lastingly) the “greedy” 1980s. Today, technological changes play out vividly in these markets. We exaggerate only moderately when speaking of a “borderless” world economy in which financial transactions reflect economic changes in multiple nations in ways governments find difficult to regulate.

1. Introduction The indictment that the Fed played a causal role in the Great Depression in the United States is still of interest because it challenges the credibility of the Fed as an institution (Friedman and Schwartz 1963). Indeed, this matter has remained controversial, witness a recent conference where papers on material relevant to the issue by Ten-tin (1998) and Sims (1998) attracted often contrary discussion. Moreover, whether the Great Depression in the United States was home-grown or was caused at least in part by the international economic contraction has been the subject of many earlier investigations including Eichengreen (1992), Kindleberger (1986), Temin (1989), and Wigmore (1987). In this paper we investigate the role of the Fed in the Great Depression using ideas drawn from the recently developed theory of target zones (Krugman 1991) in combination with a reduced-form version of the monetary approach to the balance of payments. As money is endogenous in the monetary approach, any success of our modeling would indicate that the Fed was not a free agent in determining the American money base and interest rates. We in fact do find that the Fed managed money in a manner consistent with the United States' commitment to maintain the gold standard-a commitment that was widespread across the American political scene in the early 1930s (Eichengreen and Temin 1997). We proceed to investigate the independence or otherwise of American monetary policy under the interwar gold standard in the following way. As we view the United States as being a part of an international system, section 2 describes relevant concurrent macroeconomic events in France-the other major country still on the gold standard after speculative pressures in foreign exchange markets had ejected the United Kingdom from it in 1931:09. Section 3 describes a method for calculating franc-dollar realignment expectations, using the theory of uncovered interest parity, for the period spanning the United States' and France's simultaneous adherence to the gold standard in the interwar period, 1926:12 to 1933:02. Empirical realignment expectations are then described. Section 4 shows how the macroeconomic determinants of realignment expectations may be modelled, and section 5 discusses our empirical evidence on the determination of expectations. Section 6 offers conclusions suggesting that the Fed was not an actor autonomous of the international gold standard. 2. France The United States cannot be characterized as a colossus bestriding a rump of disconnected small open economies still on the gold standard after the United Kingdom's ejection. The population of the four countries that were later to form the gold bloc after the United States suspended gold in 1933:03-Belgium, France, Netherlands, and Switzerland-had a combined population that was almost exactly one-half that of the U.S. (League of Nations 1931/2, table 2). And, although their per capita incomes were lower than the United States', we know that this bloc was large enough to absorb copious quantities of American monetary gold. In this study French macroeconomic data effectively proxy for that of the other gold bloc countries. This is justified as, outside the United States, the French economy was the largest still on gold. Secondly, for key macroeconomic variables-money, prices, and productionFrench monthly data are highly correlated with that of the other three countries. Thus, in the respective correlation matrixes for the four gold bloc countries over the period 1928:06 to 1933: 02 most correlations are well over 0.90. French monetary policy after the Great Crash in 1929:10 was more helpful to the Bank of England in its struggle to 1931:09 to stay on gold than it was after this date to the Federal Reserve in the run up to the American suspension of gold in 1933:03. Thus, the French nominal money base increased from F88bn in 1929:10 to F104bn in 1931:09-an 18% increase. …

The paper investigates theoretical, methodological, and analytical aspects of the development of the companies’ technology strategy, which should be considered in the general set of strategies for company development. The basic approaches are taken as a basis for research of essence of technological strategy, particularly complex structural, process, effective, others, are generalized. The interrelationships of technological and other strategies of the enterprise are revealed. Methodical provisions on the research of features of technology strategy which approbation took place based on studying of experience of strategic management of technological development of the electronic engineering companies are offered. The influence of key factors in forming technology strategy, namely, capital investment, R&D expenditures, corporate culture, and others, has also been established. Several innovative mechanisms for the development of the company's personnel are proposed, the potential of which is the basis of technological development, and therefore should be reflected in the technology strategy.

This article is dedicated to the study of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) as an important factor in shaping a company's corporate culture, promoting sustainability and adaptability in the face of contemporary economic, social, and environmental challenges. The relevance of CSR is emphasized in the context of globalization and the increasing demands of stakeholders, including consumers, investors, and employees. The research proposes approaches to integrating CSR into corporate governance, identifying key elements of the mechanism aimed at strengthening corporate values, enhancing employee engagement, and ensuring the long-term competitiveness of companies in a dynamic external environment. A mechanism for integrating CSR into corporate culture is proposed, consisting of six interrelated stages: analysis of the current state, development and implementation of a CSR management system, integration into key business processes, communication and reporting, monitoring and performance evaluation, and ensuring CSR sustainability. Based on this integration process, a structural model for the formation of CSR has been developed, consisting of six interconnected blocks, each covering critical aspects of CSR implementation. The developed approach to understanding and implementing the CSR mechanism includes a staged process, influencing factors, and structural organization. An important aspect of the model is the integration of CSR into human resource management, corporate culture, and stakeholder engagement. The significance of transparent reporting and communication in building trust and enhancing CSR effectiveness is highlighted. The need for constant monitoring and adaptation of CSR strategies to changing external conditions is emphasized. The integration of CSR into corporate culture contributes to the sustainable development of the enterprise, enhancing its reputation and competitiveness. The proposed CSR mechanism model allows companies to effectively adapt to changing conditions while maintaining a balance of economic, social, and environmental interests.

Chapter 5 - Roles and competences of business controlling according to different cultural models

Peter K Leaver The History of Moorfields Eye Hospital: Forty Years On Volume III 348 pages RSM Press , Abingdon, Oxon , 2004 ISBN 185315 580 2 Price: £30.00 Moorfields Eye Hospital in London celebrated its bicentenary in 2005. It is a remarkable institution; it serves London on an everyday basis, provides consultative care nationwide and has served as a prominent global leader in ophthalmology for two centuries. However, at the same time it has managed to maintain its reputation for being friendly and accessible; it is a place that is easy and comfortable to visit. Previous histories of Moorfields were written by Treacher Collin (1929) and Frank Law (1975). The third volume, Forty Years On, published in 2004, is written by Dr Peter K. Leaver, a long-serving consultant in vitreoretinal surgery at Moorfields. During those 40 years enormous changes have taken place at Moorfields. In 1967 the hospital discharged 7400 patients from 345 beds; in 2000 it discharged 14 300 from 80 beds. There were 18 consultants employed at the hospital in the early 1960s; today there are more than 60 members of consulting staff. Attitudes have also changed: in the 1960s, writes Leaver, ‘consultants often behaved like gods, while hospital matrons were usually queenly figures’. The central message of the book for all of us who work in ophthalmology concerns not simply how patient care has evolved at Moorfields, but how the doctors at the hospital have led the major changes all the way! Many members of staff have been involved, but key players such as Professor Barrie R. Jones, Dr Noel Rice, Dr Robert Cooling and house governor John Atwill had the foresight, knowledge and energy that kept their thinking ahead of that of politicians and bureaucrats. There used to be two Moorfields hospitals in London, one on City Road and the other at High Holborn. There was also an academic institute at Judd Street. These were all united in one place, in 1988 and 1991, at City Road Hospital. At the time merging hospitals was not a popular practice; Moorfields was ahead of its time. It also took a lot of courage to transform the hospital from an ‘esoteric centre of excellence’ (and provider of tertiary care) into a centre of ophthalmic primary care for London. However, it is because of this that Moorfields Eye Hospital has survived as an independent and expanding institution, with an international paediatric eye centre now in preparation and opening next year. The research carried out at the Institute of Ophthalmology has scored consistently highly in international ratings since 1990. This book is divided into four parts. The first gives a general account of the development of the hospital. Part two contains a more detailed description of the clinical, nursing and clinical support services, describing each subspecialty in turn. Part three represents academe, divided into medical education and research. Finally, part four describes the organization of Moorfields, its management and administration, finance, fabric and infrastructure and the Moorfields Alumni Association. Peter Leaver's description of events is lively. His text is never dull and his accounts of the political battles fought convey the excitement of the times: you want to know how it all ends! The text is comprehensive and understandable, even for readers who do not know much about health politics in the UK. I enjoyed this book. Leaver writes a very readable text and his account is authenticated by the fact that he was there when it all happened. The book is flavoured with interesting and amusing anecdotes about everyday life in the hospital and illustrated with good colour photographs that depict longstanding doctors and support staff alike.

Secular and Sacred ABCs in Medieval England Candace Barrington (bio) Medieval Schools, from Roman Britain to Renaissance England, by Nicholas Orme. New Haven: Yale UP, 2006. So often, it is the everyday stuff that is lost to history. Take schools; twenty first-century educators are so accustomed to thinking of education as taking place within institutions with buildings, bureaucracies, and social agendas that we easily assume schools cannot exist without such formal structures. Rather than succumb to this perspective, Nicholas Orme, a leading scholar of medieval English schools, reminds us that schools existed and education took place when no one institution or system was responsible for overseeing children's education. He knows to look for the presence of schools in places other than the predictable cathedrals and monasteries. So even though the structure of modern schools can be traced to ecclesiastical paradigms, many secular values shaped the education of medieval England's youth. The preface to this handsomely illustrated survey says that Medieval Schools "sums up [Orme's] working life" by reappraising a subject he first visited in 1973 with his book English Schools in the Middle Ages (xv). In the intervening four decades, topics both central to and touching medieval English children and their education have been thoroughly illumined by Orme in at least eight book-length studies. This body of work raises an important question: just how much new information could this book provide, especially on a topic whose documentary evidence is so elusive, available only through the accidental survival of records and off-hand allusions? Plenty, as it turns out. Though many of Orme's findings have appeared in his earlier work, this study provides a fresh, surprisingly complete picture of the various ways one could go to school in England in the centuries between the isle's Roman conquest and its Protestant Reformation. [End Page 208] In order to convey the barriers to studying this subject, Orme begins by recapitulating the histories of English education and its institutions. The gradual process of accumulating documents and rereading references in order to unveil the rich history of medieval schools was not earnestly begun until the early 1800s. Immediately those historians discovered the great paradox: for an institution committed to literacy and document production, the written evidence regarding English schools throughout the Middle Ages is frustratingly spare. To shape their history, scholars such as Orme must turn to the records of English towns and cities, cathedrals and monasteries, families and manors, with the intent of learning how young men were trained to read and write Latin in order to perform either the ecclesiastical duties of monks, priests, and clerics, or the bureaucratic services of clerks and accountants. Next, Orme examines the origins of medieval schools: the formal education system developed in Britain after the Roman conquest in 43 ce. He concludes that this educational program most certainly resembled that of the empire; urban-centered, it featured both private tutors and fee-earning educators who taught reading, writing, arithmetic, grammar, and rhetoric in Latin to boys and some girls. After the Romans left in the fifth century and the Anglo-Saxons arrived in the sixth, Christian monasteries, rather than urban centers, became the locations for religion and education. Because literacy was essential to Christian services, the church assumed the responsibility of training the next generation to read and write. Students would have learned Latin using a grammar text such as Donatus's Ars Minor, and they would have learned from clerics, monks, or nuns whose duties included but were not limited to teaching. During the ninth century, a series of political instabilities and Viking raids disrupted ecclesiastical institutions. Many women's religious houses disappeared, and most monasteries turned into "minsters," "religious communities less tied to traditional monastic practices, . . . [which allowed clergy to] live separately in houses, own property individually, move more freely in the world, and even marry and have families" (32). In their own time, minsters were associated with degenerated learning; the Wessex king, Alfred, sought in the late ninth century to reform learning by reviving monasticism, by developing education in the royal household, and by promoting reading and writing in English. Despite Alfred's efforts, within a century...
