  Management in the Digital Age -...

  In this Springer Brief, the author introduces how Chinese firms are successfully using their own variants of the "Silicon Valley Approach" to management. The author begins the discussion by deliberating on the extent to which management models need to be re-invented. A fundamentally new approach is then introduced, which already exists and is proving itself in practice at some of Silicon Valley's most dynamic firms. The author finds that the Chinese management models, in comparison, may be even more advanced. If true, this could have profound implications for managers everywhere. 
   
   
   
  The author acknowledges that no management model fails (or succeeds) every time. Skeptics can point to big bureaucratic firms that continue to prosper, as well as to radical innovators that have gone under. This book brings to light the need that has emerged for a model that will give companies their best chances of thriving amid the VUCA whirlwind. A combination of evidence and informed opinion indicates the old management model has run its course.

  Colombia - Historical and...

  Colombia, located in the northwestern part of South America, is a country of remarkable geographical diversity and cultural richness. Bordered by the Caribbean Sea to the north, Venezuela to the east, Brazil to the southeast, Peru to the south, Ecuador to the southwest, and Panama to the northwest, it stands as a bridge between the continents of North and South America. Its geographical expanse is characterized by lush rainforests, the majestic Andes mountains, vast plains, and a significant coastline. This diversity shapes the country’s economy, society, and political history, making it a land of both opportunities and challenges. 
  Colombia’s population is approximately 51 million, making it the third-most populous country in Latin America, after Brazil and Mexico. The country’s people are as diverse as its landscape, with a population made up of mestizos, Afro-Colombians, indigenous groups, and a small percentage of people with European ancestry. This blend of cultures has contributed to the development of a rich, multifaceted society with deep-rooted traditions in music, dance, literature, and art. Cities like Bogotá, Medellín, and Cali are cultural hubs, while small towns across the country preserve indigenous practices and lifestyles that have been passed down through generations. 
  The political landscape of Colombia has been shaped by a complex history of colonization, independence, civil conflict, and efforts to modernize. Initially colonized by the Spanish in the early 1500s, Colombia gained independence in 1810. However, political fragmentation and civil war marked the country’s early years as a republic. It wasn’t until the mid-20th century that Colombia began to establish a more stable government, although violence from guerilla groups, drug cartels, and paramilitary forces has intermittently disrupted the peace.

  #BlackEducatorsMatter - The...

  The personal accounts, educator portraits, and research findings assembled by Darrius A. Stanley in #BlackEducatorsMatter constitute an unstinting exploration of the experiences of Black K–12 teachers in the United States. Spotlighting the invaluable work of Black educators, this volume reveals that although they are underrepresented in educational institutions, they have profound positive influence not only on students of color but also on school climate and on all of society. 
   
   
   
  Contributions from both emerging and established scholars lay out the historical and contemporary issues that confront Black educators. Viewing this landscape through the lens of BlackCrit and other race-centric perspectives, the contributors critically frame and explicitly name the challenges. They make plain that a common thread in the Black experience in United States schools is antiblackness, which remains an endemic feature of United States society even as recent social justice campaigns and public discourse on Critical Race Theory have brought greater awareness to longstanding inequities. 
   
   
   
  This work illuminates the efforts of Black educators to fight oppression and institutionalized racism in schools. It provides strategies that district and school leadership can adopt to recruit, retain, and support Black educators in schools.
