Superintendent Preparation for the 21St Century

Gober, Courtney Carson 08 1900 (has links)
This study focused on the perceptions of six superintendents regarding the state of the profession as of 2012, and it reports their thoughts and suggestions as to what preparation is needed by superintendents for the 21st century. The participating superintendents, who were all members of the Western States Benchmarking Consortium, were employed in six school districts in five states. Data were collected through surveys and telephone interviews. The findings of this study clearly indicate a lack of cohesion between what superintendents learned in their university professional preparation programs and what they practice in their day to day activities. The superintendents involved in this study tended to favor a hybrid approach – rigorous theoretical insight grounded in real world practice. Since superintendents typically spend a good deal of their time solving challenging problems including funding shortfalls, competition from other educational institutions, and the constant scrutiny of the media; their preparation needs to provide opportunities to develop their leadership skills and solve real world problems in an environment where they can take risks. Mentoring and participation in professional consortiums were recommended as key elements for the preparation of the twenty-first century superintendent. This study contributes to the discussion of how to best prepare school leaders for the current and future demands of superintendency.

Since china communist becoming the national ruler, comrades had devoted their efforts to make sure of the c Chinese communist party could be the only one political party ruler for eternity. The highest political organization is the people representative convention what adapts the way of one that combines the congress and executive department. No matter what the communist party¡¦ s political power or government¡¦ s executive power all have to obey the principle of the democratic centralism converging the political power from basic comrades and local parity organizations to top leadership. So the democratic centralism is not like western democratic, the minor obeys the mass, but the political powers are together upon the leadership. Even though the democratic centralism is helpful to maintain the party¡¦s assertion for the china communist party, the only one political ruler party. Because of political power of leadership has not been restricted resulting in what the regime legitimately has not been convicted. Mao was dead after the china culture revolution had ceased has left the china disarrangement and disable Chinese communist party. All things seemed went to bright side after the new successor, Den, held the leadership and drove whole Chinese economy and political more openness. Since 1978, China goes evolution and keeps the openness policy with two ways, economy and political. The time of planning economy was committed to replace the function of socialization, national distribution, curbing the production resources, all factors depended the Chinese communist party regime no matter what is labors in the city or the farmers in the country. Since openness policy, the marketing economy had replaced the panning economy becoming the main policy and the regime ceased to play the role in distribution of the national resources. People have to make life not depend the regime but maintain the right of political and fight for the political participation. Chinese communist party is afraid of losing her regime, therefore not dare to react the provoking of civilian political demand and consciousness. The dilemma situation turns the discrimination of content and process time table in political and economy comes up. People discontent force the Jiang secretary general to announce¡§ the inner party democracy is the spirit of communist party, demonstrating the public democracy ¡§ for response the requiring of people. Because of the regime losing the ability of introspecting and reacting the political power centralization make a tough problem Chinese communist have to face and try to solute. Through the remedy way of conciliation the relationship between nation and society intent to maintain the one political party authority and relieve regime¡¦s political crisis. Even though, the regime does suffer the turbulence of fighting between the conservative school and evolution school and could not conglomerate whole schools advance forward peaceful. So the regime uses the tiny political evolution in executive department as a buffer of comprising democracy evolution and defensive one party authority. This dissertation try to find out public democracy by the performance of Chinese communist inner democracy through the party¡¦s leader system, decisive, supervising, election, talent selection and political power inherit.

The field of design is one that holds the power to empower, bridge gaps, inform, evolve and revolutionize human thoughts. To gain a higher understanding of the correlation of anthropometrics and ergonomics in an embodied space relative to the discipline of dance connecting one’s mind and body. The need for a space that instills a sense of freedom for artists to experience and execute their art and to reside alongside their mentors and traveling artists. The need for a space that can bring the diverse cultures that live in and around Richmond together through an expressive form of art. Providing an educational opportunity for the residents of the space as well as public on the importance of culture preservation and freedom of expression (Iwano, 2003). Research and precedent studies imply that: Design and dance are complementary forms of visual communication that have similar principles of rhythm, balance and contrast. Performative design can create higher levels of interaction between artists, students and public. The expressions and movements used in dance can be used to inform and evolve the architectural experience in the space. This research will support the design of an artists- in- residence space for the dance community in Richmond that will contain: A residential space where the artists can reside amongst faculty, students and travelling artists. Practice rooms where they are at liberty to express, practice, educate and engage amongst other dancers. A performance space where they can execute and showcase their expertise and engage with the public. A public community hall for where there is an opportunity for the diverse cultures and other artist communities to connect through dance.

Made available in DSpace on 2016-06-02T19:51:33Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 1 DissAA.pdf: 1114752 bytes, checksum: 14f0d3bb7df69ac433bd4bd461923811 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2007-10-02 / In the light of the entrepreneurial scenario, in which new competitiveness patterns were established, companies have been forced to search for new manners of action in order to survive the market. Among these forms, it is highlighted those which favor the development of technological innovations and the establishment of cooperation relationships among several partners. This same reality applies to the foodstuff industry. The development of technological innovations has been increasingly important since they are capable of providing the products the market need, as well as aimed at guaranteeing food safety throughout its production and as final good already ready to consumption. Another manner the companies adopt to overcome troubles and become more innovative is the insertion in cooperative ventures, which occurs because these companies do not have necessary resources, including knowledge to adopt and transfer innovation to their products and processes, or because they want to reduce the risks related to innovation practices. According to this scenario, the present work in intended for characterizing the efforts to establish technological innovation and cooperative relationships to innovation on foodstuff companies based in Marília, São Paulo, thus making possible to identify actions to aid the development and adoption of technologies in the companies studied. Besides, this work is aimed at identifying and evaluating how these cooperation relationships are established. In order to do so, case studies were carried out in four foodstuff companies. As a result, it was verified that the companies promoted a great deal of effort in order to introduce technological innovation to their products, processes or both. / Diante do atual cenário empresarial, no qual novos padrões de competitividade foram estabelecidos, as empresas têm sido forçadas a procurarem novas formas de atuação para sobreviver no mercado. Entre as inúmeras formas, destacam-se aquelas que privilegiam o desenvolvimento de inovações tecnológicas e o estabelecimento de relações de cooperação entre diversos parceiros. Na indústria de alimentos, a realidade é a mesma. O desenvolvimento de inovações tecnológicas tem se tornado cada vez mais importante, pois as novas tecnologias, além de serem capazes de fornecer produtos que o mercado deseja, têm o objetivo de garantir a segurança do alimento durante o processo de produção e no seu estado de produto final, pronto para consumo. Uma outra forma encontrada pelas empresas deste segmento para superar as dificuldades e tornarem-se mais inovadoras é a inserção em arranjos cooperativos. Isto ocorre devido ao fato de não possuírem todos os recursos necessários ou porque desejam reduzir os riscos associados à inovação. De acordo com este cenário, este trabalho tem como objetivo caracterizar o esforço para a inovação tecnológica e as relações de cooperação para inovação em empresas alimentícias do município de Marília/SP, possibilitando identificar ações que possam auxiliar o desenvolvimento e a adoção de tecnologia nas empresas estudadas. Além disso, este trabalho visa identificar e avaliar como são estabelecidas relações de cooperação para a introdução de inovações nessas empresas. Para que os objetivos fossem alcançados, foram realizados estudos de caso em quatro empresas alimentícias do município. Como resultado, foi constatado que as empresas estudadas promoveram importantes esforços visando o desenvolvimento de inovações tecnológicas em produto, em processo ou em ambas.

Exploring Innovation Behaviors: The Desired Actions for Individuals, Teams, and Organizations / Utforska Innovationsbeteenden: De önskade åtgärderna för Individer, Team och Organisationer

Gohil, Parth January 2023 (has links)
Several tools and practices have been developed in the innovation management field to support individuals and organizations in their innovation journeys. It is of high interest to understand how the actions and decisions of people affect the innovation process, both on a micro and macro level. The actions of individuals, teams, and upper management in organizations directly or indirectly affect innovation. It becomes interesting to understand such behaviors. The aim of this master’s thesis is to explore and compile a list of human behaviors that drive innovation on three levels: individual, team, and organization. This qualitative study was conducted in Sweden using semi-structured interviews with experienced professionals in the innovation management field. The research also includes defining and understanding key terms that are necessary for exploring and identifying innovation behaviors and offers analogies to support this understanding. An extensive literature review is used to find the initial set of innovation behaviors, and the analysis is developed. The key findings of this research reveal innovation behaviors in 11 categories of individual innovation behaviors, 5 categories of team innovation behaviors, and 6 categories of organizational innovation behaviors. Each category is developed in detail and a list of innovation behaviors is prepared. The implications of this thesis are twofold. Firstly, an extensive theoretical base is developed to understand innovation behaviors in a unified framework. Several new innovation behaviors are identified in empirical results that were not found in the scientific literature. This thesis also provides an actionable base for ‘how to innovate’ questions. Secondly, the results can be used by professionals on a practical level. Individuals, teams, and organizations can educate themselves about innovation behaviors and adopt them during their innovation projects. The upper management in companies can use these innovation behaviors to develop a culture that is supportive of innovation and take innovation-abling actions for their organizations. Innovation professionals can use these behaviors as a tool to support their teams in taking better actions for innovation. Furthermore, researchers can advance the understanding of factors influencing innovation and develop advanced tools and practices as a guide to innovation. / Flera verktyg och metoder för innovation har utvecklats för att stödja individer och organisationer. Det är av stort intresse att förstå hur människors handlingar och beslut påverkar innovationsprocessen. Handlingar från individer, team och högsta ledning i organisationer påverkar direkt eller indirekt innovation. Det är av intresse att förstå sådana beteenden. Syftet med detta examensarbete är att utforska och sammanställa en lista över mänskliga beteenden som driver innovation på tre nivåer: individ, team och organisation. En kvalitativ studie genomfördes i Sverige med hjälp av semistrukturerade intervjuer med erfarna praktiker inom innovationsledningsområdet. Forskningen inkluderar också att definiera och förstå nyckeltermer som är nödvändiga för att utforska och identifiera innovationsbeteenden och erbjuder analogier för att stödja denna förståelse. En omfattande litteraturgenomgång har genomförts för att hitta den initiala uppsättningen av innovationsbeteenden, och analysen av de empiriska resultaten har vidare utvecklat denna. De viktigaste resultaten av denna forskning visar på innovationsbeteenden i 11 kategorier av individuella innovationsbeteenden, 5 kategorier av teaminnovationsbeteenden och 6 kategorier av organisatoriska innovationsbeteenden. Varje kategori har redogjorts för i detalj och en lista över innovationsbeteenden presenterats. Implikationerna av detta examensarbete är tvåfaldiga. För det första utvecklas en omfattande teoretisk bas för att förstå innovationsbeteenden i ett enhetligt ramverk. Flera nya innovationsbeteenden identifierades i de empiriska resultaten som inte återfanns i den vetenskapliga litteraturen. Resultaten ger också en handlingsbar bas för "hur man innoverar"-frågor. För det andra kan resultaten användas i praktiken. Individer, team och organisationer kan utbilda sig själva om innovationsbeteenden och anamma dem i sina innovationsprojekt. Den högsta ledningen i företag kan använda dessa innovationsbeteenden för att utveckla en kultur som stödjer innovation och vidta innovationsfrämjande åtgärder för sina organisationer. Innovationsledare kan använda listan med innovationbeteenden som ett verktyg för att stödja sina team i att vidta bättre åtgärder för innovation. Dessutom kan forskare främja förståelsen av faktorer som påverkar innovation och utveckla avancerade vertyg och metoder som vägledning för innovation.
