Guide to organisation design / Naomi Stanford

No review available on this record. Title : Guide to organisation design : creating high-performing and adaptable enterprises Material Type: printed text Authors: Naomi Stanford, Author Publisher: London : Economist Publication Date: 2007 Pagination: viii, 343 p. Size: 24 cm ISBN (or other code): 978-1-86197-802-8 General note: Includes bibliographical references (p. 294-301) Includes index (p. 316-343) Languages : English (eng) Original Language : English (eng) Descriptors: Business planning Organizational change Class number: 658.402 Abstract: Business failure is not limited to start ups. In America alone between 1990 and 2000, there were over 6.3 million business start-ups and over 5.7 million business shut-downs. Risk of failure can be greatly reduced through effective organisational design that encourages high performance and adaptability to changing circumstances. Organisation design is a straightforward business process but curiously managers rarely talk about it and even more rarely take steps to consciously design or redesign their business for success. This new Economist guide explores the five principles of effective organisation design, which are that it must be: - driven by the business strategy and the operating context (not by a new IT system, a new leader wanting to make an impact, or some other non-business reason) - involve holistic thinking about the organisation - look to the future, not just the present Contents note: Introducing organisation design; Models, approaches and designs; Organisational structures; Planning and sequencing the organisation design; Measurement; Stakeholder engagement; Leadership and organisation design; Culture and group processes; Morphing not future proofing; Record link: https://library.seeu.edu.mk/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=17303

Комуникацијата – важен фактор во лидерството / Martina Grasheska

No review available on this record. Title : Комуникацијата – важен фактор во лидерството : studime të Magjistraturë - cikli i dytë Material Type: printed text Authors: Martina Grasheska, Dissertant ; Liljana Siljanovska, Thesis advisor Publisher: Tetovë : Universiteti i Evropës Juglindore; Fakulteti i Shkencave dhe i Teknologjive të Komunikimit Publication Date: 2017 Pagination: 59 p. Layout: ill. Size: 30 cm General note: Includes bibliographical references Includes bibliographical footnotes Includes Appendix Languages : Macedonian (mac) Original Language : Macedonian (mac) Descriptors: Communication Leadership Abstract: Вовед Значењето на ефективото лидерство преку алатките за комуникација е демонстрирано секојдневно во речиси секоја организација. Покрај концизноста на фактот дека лидерите, било политичките лидери или бизнис лидерите, мораат да комуницираат за воопшто да функционираат во својата работа, прашањето кое и ден денес се поставува е колку комуникациските вештини придонесуваат во генерален успех на организациско ниво и што е она што лидерите би можеле да го имплементираат во процесот на комуникациско созревање, со цел постигнување на успех во нивната работа. Имено, уште во далечната 1938 година, Chester Barnard заклучи дека комуникацијата беше главниот примат на менаџерите и другите претпоставени лица, а лидерите имаа главна задача да го подобрат нивото на комуникација во организациите. Години подоцна, студија која ја направи Dr. Dan B. Curtis го потврди она што беше истражено претходно: Ефективните комуникациски вештини се клучни во постигнувањето на успех во една организација. Резултатите на национално спроведеното истражување донесоа заклучок дека главните извршители на една организација и останатите лидери во истатаму даваат големо значење на начинот на ефективно интерперсонално комуницирање бидејќи тие се свесни дека продуктивноста зависи од ефективната комуникација.Претпоставените мораат да комуницираат ефективно. Но, ова не е единствениот битен момент. Подредените мораат да одржуваат солидно ниво на информирање меѓусебно и во односот со нивните лидери. Со други зборови, за да се постигне ефективно организациско функционирање, комуникациските канали мораат да бидат отворени надолу, нагоре и хоризонтално низ организацијата. И покрај тоа што овие тези се поставени и делумно докажани, работата која остана „незавршена“ е темелно истражување околу парцијалното значење на комуникациските методи во лидерството како и прашањето кои комуникациски методи се слабата алка во организацискиот ланец (со акцент на врвот од ланецот) и како тие можат да се подобрат за да се постигне што поголем успех во истиот. Сите овие прашања, проширени и детално анализирани, ќе бидат обработени во трудот со тема „Комуникацијата – важен фактор во лидерството“.

Culture And Diplomacy: Scandinavian Case / Arta Ajdini

No review available on this record. Title : Culture And Diplomacy: Scandinavian Case : studime të Magjistraturë - cikli i dytë Material Type: printed text Authors: Arta Ajdini, Dissertant ; Ali Pajaziti, Thesis advisor Publisher: Tetovë : UEJL-Fakulteti i Administratës Publike Publication Date: 2017 Pagination: 78 p. Layout: ill. Size: 30 cm General note: Includes bibliographical references Includes bibliographical footnotes Includes Appendix Languages : English (eng) Original Language : English (eng) Descriptors: Cultural Diplomacy Abstract: ABSTRACT Diplomacy is an old activity, dating back to ancient Greece and Rome, but today international agendas changed considerably - changing with them the character of diplomacy: a fast developing international system opened doors to many new actors, including international organizations, transnational corporations, and important interest groups; diplomacy has thus become more global, complicated and fragmentary. It is therefore tempting to see the modern public diplomacy as “old wine in new bottles”. One of its key dimensions is the cultural diplomacy which has increasingly more major role in international relations. This led to notion of cultural diplomacy. The interdependence between public and cultural diplomacy becomes more visible in the light of the soft power. What is the soft power? Can it be measured, and if “yes”, how? These are the key issues as covered by the Thesis arguing that no country has a monopoly on soft power, that is, any organization, country and culture, can develop soft power. In this context, there are presently a number of attempts to measure soft power of the countries through a composite index. The later includes the one as published by the Institute for Government (IfG) and the media company Monocle in 2010. Despite there is no perfect composite index, the most important question is “how a country can effectively use its soft power?” Joseph Nye has developed his own model for the conversion of soft power into a desired outcome. As stressed by Nye himself “the first step in the process of converting soft power into a successful outcome is identifying the resources that will affect the target(s) in question”. The use of attraction must however begin with a clear account of available resources and an understanding for where they will be effective; without a full and clear picture of these resources, there can be little hope of deploying soft power in a strategic, coordinated, and – ultimately – effective way. It is why a national inventory of soft power assets is essential. This challenge is easy enough to identify, but much more difficult to address. In addition to their previous success in managing their soft power, the Nordic (i.e. Scandinavian) were against among the “most visible” countries in the ranking made by the Soft Power 30. Can the Balkan countries follow the Nordic model of using soft power?The Thesis advocates that these countries may still have their own original story to tell to international publics. But they should nevertheless firstly take the very first decision: making their national and regional inventory of soft power assets. This would be the real challenge as well as an opportunity for any of the Balkan states.

Size: 30 cm General note: Includes bibliographical references Includes bibliographical footnotes Includes Appendix Languages : English (eng) Original Language : English (eng) Descriptors: Cloud computing Abstract: ABSTRACT In recent years, cloud computing has been an emerging computing model in the IT industry and is revolutionizing IT infrastructures and flexibility. Many factors influence the adoption of cloud computing. Organizations must carefully evaluate these factors before they take adoption decision. The purpose of this study is to identify factors influencing the cloud computing adoption for companies within the context of Kosovo. To evaluate which determinants influence the adoption of cloud computing, this study describes a research model that is based on the diffusion of innovation (DOI) theory and technology, organization and environment (TOE) framework. Data collected by survey questionnaires from a sample of 32 companies, are used to test and investigate the proposed hypothesis. This research shows that there are some similarities and differences in the factors that affect cloud adoption between technologically developed countries and the ones that are in developing stage. PARATHËNIE Viteve të fundit, cloud computing është shfaqur si një model i kompjuterëve në industrinë e tekonologjisë informative (TI) duke bërë revolucion në infrastrukturat e TI-së me fleksibilitetin e tij. Shumë faktorë ndikojnë në miratimin e cloud computing. Organizatat duhet t'i vlerësojnë me kujdes këta faktorë para se të marrin vendimin për adoptimin e cloud computing. Qëllimi i këtij studimi është identifikimi i faktorëve të cilë ndikojnë në adoptimin e cloud computing për kompanitë që operojnë në Republikën e Kosovës.

Accessibility of Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) for Blind and Visually Impaired People / Njomza Mripa

No review available on this record. Title : Accessibility of Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) for Blind and Visually Impaired People : studime të magjistaturës - cikli i dytë Material Type: printed text Authors: Njomza Mripa, Dissertant ; Mexhid Ferati, Thesis advisor Publisher: Tetovë : Universiteti i Evropës Juglindore; Fakulteti i Shkencave dhe i Teknologjive të Komunikimit Publication Date: 2017 Pagination: 63 p. Layout: ill. Size: 30 cm General note: Includes bibliographical references Includes bibliographical footnotes Includes Appendix Languages : English (eng) Original Language : English (eng) Descriptors: Blind - Books and reading Blind and Visually Imparied People Online Courses Abstract: ABSTRACT Although MOOC providers claim that MOOCs are open to anyone, considering that online users are very diverse in their abilities and disabilities, detailed investigation is required to confirm this claim. As previous research has shown, MOOCs are not accessible for people with disabilities, in particular for blind and visually impaired (BVI) people. This thesis investigates the accessibility of MOOCs for people with disabilities, in particular for blind and visually impaired (BVI) people. The evaluation includes assessing the accessibility of Coursera and ALMOOC for BVI by employing three different testing methods: usability testing, automatic accessibility checking and heuristic testing. The results indicate that they fail to confirm to accessibility standards. Therefore, the findings show that ALMOOC is currently not accessible to BVI, whereas on Coursera users manage to fulfill most of the required tasks. Nevertheless, in this thesis recommendations will be presented for overcoming the encountered challenges. АПСТРАКТ Иако MOOК провајдерите тврдат дека MOOК се отворени за сите, со оглед на фактот дека интернет корисниците се многу различни во нивните способности и посебни потреби, потребна е подетална анализа за да се докаже ваквото тврдење. Досегашните истражувањата покажуваат дека MOOК не се достапни за лица со посебни потреби, особено за слепите и лицата со оштетен вид. Во овој труд се истражува достапноста на MOOК за лица со хендикеп, особено за слепи и лица со оштетен вид. Евалуацијата опфаќа проценка на достапноста на Coursera и ALMOOC за слепите лица, преку употреба на три различни методи на тестирање, и тоа: тестирање на употребливост, автоматска проверка на пристапност, и хеуристичко тестирање. Резултатите укажуваат на тоа дека ваквите интерфејси не ги исполнуваат стандардите за пристапност. Резултатите покажуваат дека ALMOOC во моментов е недостапен за слепи лица додека пак на Coursera корисниците успеваат да ги завршат повеќето од потребните задачи. Сепак во овој труд ќе бидат дадени препораки за надминување на откриените проблеми. ABSTRAKTI Ofruesit e MOOC pretendojnë se MOOC janë të hapura për këdo, mirëpo duke pasur parasysh se përdoruesit në internet janë të ndryshëm në aftësitë dhe paaftësitë e tyre, kjo kërkon një hulumtim të detajizuar. Hulumtimet e bëra më parë, tregojnë se MOOC nuk janë të qasshme për njerëzit me aftësi të kufizuara, veçanërisht për personat e verbër dhe me kufizime në shikim. Kjo tezë hulumton qasjen e MOOCs për njerëzit me aftësi të kufizuara, veçanërisht personat e verbër dhe me kufizime në shikim. Evaluimi përfshin vlerësimin e qasshmërisë të Coursera dhe ALMOOC për këta persona, duke shfrytëzuar tri metoda të ndryshme testimi: testimi i përdorshmërisë, kontrolli automatik i qasjes dhe testimi heuristik. Rezultatet e evaluimit tregojnë se ato dështojnë të plotësojnë standardet e qasshmërisë. Pra, rezultatet tregojnë se ALMOOC aktualisht nuk është i qasshmëm për personat e verbër dhe me kufizime në shikim, ndërsa në Coursera, përdoruesit arrijnë të përmbushin shumicën e detyrave të kërkuara. Megjithatë, përmes kësaj teze, ne do të paraqesim rekomandimet për të kapërcyer çështjet e zbuluara.   Contents note: Declaration; Abbreviations; List of Tables; List of Figures; Abstract; АПстракт; Abstrakti; Introduction; Research Questions; Research Purpose; Research Methodology; Hypothesis; Background and Literature Review; Overview; Web Content Accessibility Guidelines; Situation in Kosovo; Literature review; General overview of online learning and BVI people; Overviewof online learning; Types of online learning; MOOCs as a new method of delivery; Summary of online learning; Overview of BVI worldwide; Overview of BVI in Kosovo; Statistics about BVI in Kosovo; Strategies of educational institutions in Kosovo; School for the blind ‘Xheladin Deda’ in Kosovo; Interview with the principal of the school for the blind “Xheladin Deda”; Summary of BVI in Kosovo; Evaluation of accessibility of MOOCs for BVI; Overview; Evaluation of accessibility of Coursera; Coursera Overview; Usability testing; Automatic accessibility checking; Heuristic testing; Summary; Evaluation of accessibility ofALMOOC; ALMOOC Overview; Usability testing; Automatic accessibility checking; Heuristic testing; Summary; Discussion and Recommendations; Conclusion, Limitations and Future Work; Bibliography; Appendix a; Record link: https://library.seeu.edu.mk/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=17294
