Software Engineering Approaches to Enable Digital Transformation Technologies

Software Engineering Approaches to Enable Digital Transformation Technologies

Software Engineering Approaches to Enable Digital Transformation Technologies features contributions reflecting ideas and research in enabling digital transformation technologies through software engineering. To date multiple different approaches have been adopted to develop software solutions for a variety of different problems. Of all the available approaches the main approaches are level-oriented data flow-oriented data structure-oriented and object-oriented design approaches. The other focus of the book is digital transformation which can be defined as the adoption of digital technology to improve efficiency value and innovation Digitalization is more than just putting additional technological systems and services in place. Rather than improving conventional methods a true digital transformation initiative includes radically rethinking company structures and procedures. There are four types of digital transformation: business process business model domain and cultural and organizational. Companies are being challenged to develop new business models that consider and harness digitalization. From the standpoint of software engineering digital transformation alters how software is built. Current trends include the development of mobile applications cloud applications and Internet of Things (IoT) applications. Emerging trends are the development of digital twins robotics artificial intelligence machine learning augmented reality and additive manufacturing. This book examines the challenges that arise due to digitization in society and presents plausible solutions that could be applied to counter these challenges and convert them into opportunities. These solutions may further be improvised and worked out for the software companies from the technological perspective organizational perspective and management perspective.

Coming to Know

Coming to Know

First published in 1980 Coming to Know offers an account which runs counter to orthodox educational psychology in which learning and knowledge are reified emotional aspects are excluded the personal-social situation of the learner is ignored and the created character of knowledge with all its social and political ramifications is denied. This collection of work explores personal knowing in a wide range of activities from children’s classroom adjustment through student learning as a social practice to women’s perceptions of themselves. It argues that the processes of learning and knowing are not divorced from the learner as a person. Broadly humanistic in its approach Coming to Know provides a welcome counterbalance to the scientific theory of learning. This book is an essential read for scholars and researchers of educational psychology and also for teachers and educationists.

Motivation to Work

Motivation to Work

Quality work that fosters job satisfaction and health enjoys top priority in industry all over the world. This was not always so. Until recently analysis of job attitudes focused primarily on human relations problems within organizations. While American industry was trying to solve the unsolvable problem of avoiding interpersonal dissatisfaction problems with the potential for solution such as training and quality production were ignored. When first published 'The Motivation to Work' challenged the received wisdom by showing that worker fulfillment came from achievement and growth within the job itself. In his new introduction Herzberg examines thirty years of motivational research in job-related areas. Based on workers' accounts of real events that have made them feel good or bad on the job the findings of Herzberg and his colleagues have stimulated research and controversy that continue to the present day. The authors surprisingly found that while a poor work environment generated discontent improved conditions seldom brought about improved attitudes. Instead satisfaction came most often from factors intrinsic to work: achievements job recognition and work that was challenging interesting and responsible. The evidence marshaled by this volume called into question many previous assumptions about job satisfaction and worker motivation. Feelings about intrinsic and extrinsic factors could not be validly averaged on a single scale of measurement. Motivation and performance are not merely dependent upon environmental needs and external rewards. Frederick Herzberg and his staff based their motivation—hygiene theory on a variety of human needs and applied it to a strategy of job enrichment that has widely influenced motivation and job design strategies. 'Motivation to Work' is a landmark volume that is of enduring interest to sociologists psychologists labor studies specialists and organization analysts.

Responding to Drinking Problems

Responding to Drinking Problems

In the 1970s family doctors social workers researchers and administrators had been aware of the inadequacy of the response to drinking problems for some time. However there had been no systematic examination of why such agents felt negatively about drinkers and disinclined to respond to them. Originally published in 1978 this book develops a radical new perspective on the prevalence and causes of drinking problems combining reviews of historical and contemporary literature with the authors’ own research studies. This perspective is then linked to the need for an integrated response from both medical and social services with a particular accent on the need for a community response. By focusing on the relationship between helper and helped a solution is sought to the question which has troubled the field for many years: why are agents like family doctors and social workers so inadequate in recognising and responding to people with drinking problems? The crucial aspects within the therapeutic relationship are pinpointed and experimental studies are described which show how training casework supervision and the redeployment of expertise can help improve recognition rates and responses to individual drinkers. This book thus expresses the need for major changes both in our attitudes and understanding of people with drinking problems and the difficulties of agents who try to help them. It should still be of historical interest to social scientists and those involved in helping people with drinking problems. | Responding to Drinking Problems

Regional Approaches to the Responsibility to Protect Lessons from Europe and West Africa

Regional Approaches to the Responsibility to Protect Lessons from Europe and West Africa

This book studies regional approaches to the Responsibility to Protect (R2P) in Europe and West Africa. The work assesses how and to what extent the European Union (EU) and the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) have internalised the norm both generally in institutions policies and programs and specifically in crisis situations of R2P concern such as the 2011 Libyan crisis and 2012 Malian crisis. It provides a historical analysis of how the two regional organisations have dealt with questions of sovereignty security and human rights since their founding as well as an analysis of some of the European and West African roots of the R2P norm. This reflects the notion that global norms are often informed by local and regional practices and that this needs to be recognised in order to fully understand regional responses to alleged global norms. The book uses process tracing to trace the regional internalisation of R2P and has benefited from qualitative research interviews with EU- and ECOWAS-stakeholders. One of the key findings is that ECOWAS and West Africa have delivered a key contribution to the norm construction of R2P a finding insufficiently recognised in the current literature. This book will be of much interest to students of the Responsibility to Protect EU human rights and foreign policy African politics security studies and International Relations in general. | Regional Approaches to the Responsibility to Protect Lessons from Europe and West Africa

Narrative Approaches to Brain Injury

Narrative Approaches to Brain Injury

This book brings together narrative approaches and brain injury rehabilitation in a manner that fosters an understanding of the natural fit between the two. We live our lives by narratives and stories and brain injury can affect those narratives at many levels with far-reaching effects. Understanding held narratives is as important as understanding the functional profile of the injury. This book explores ways to create a space for personal stories to emerge and change whilst balancing theory with practical application. Despite the emphasis of this book on the compatibility of narrative approaches to supporting people following brain injury it also illustrates the potential for contributing to significant change in the current narratives of brain injury. This book takes a philosophically different approach to many current neuro-rehabilitation topics and has the potential to make a big impact. It also challenges the reader to question their own position but does so in an engaging manner which makes it difficult to put down. | Narrative Approaches to Brain Injury

The Manager's Guide to Discipline

The Manager's Guide to Discipline

For most managers let alone the employees involved the disciplinary process can be painful and embarrassing. Poor performance tends to be confused with misconduct and consequently carries the stigma of punishment; this despite the fact that most company policies and indeed the ACAS Code (correctly) put emphasis on improving behaviour or performance rather than punishment. Derek Eccleston's concise guide provides a clear picture of the purpose and the process of the disciplinary procedure. This toolkit approach contains invaluable information and includes clear checklists and sample letters to help guide managers and supervisors through the minefield of employment rights explaining what to do and how to do it. Written in a no nonsense way The Manager's Guide to Discipline is free of legal jargon and focuses on the practical issues throughout. It will help to protect the organisation whilst ensuring matters are dealt with not left or brushed under the carpet because of a lack of management confidence. This essential reference will encourage managers to approach performance and disciplinary problems proactively and with more confidence and will significantly reduce the risk of getting it wrong.
