This book explores how members of an organization or group speak to and with each other. An expansion of the author’s previous research on fallibility in organizations, the concept of communication climate is related to those of voice climate and psychological safety, both of which focus on the risk of speaking up and raising concerns at work. In this book the author addresses the scope for criticism, dissent and disagreement, but also for praise and encouragement. Beginning with a clear explanation of how and why communication climate is important in organizations, the author introduces the concept of critical quality moments, i.e. situations where a verbal intervention can crucially change the course of events for the better. The book then goes on to describe seven elements that characterize well-functioning communication climates before exploring the concept of communication ethics, and the balance between freedom of speech on the one hand, and speech responsibility on the other. It concludes with suggestions for further studies of communication climate at work. This is an open access book. Øyvind Kvalnes is Professor in the Department of Leadership and Organizational Behaviour at BI Norwegian Business School, Norway. He has facilitated workshops and seminars on communication climate in a range of organisations in the private and public sectors. He is the author of Fallibility at Work (2017), Digital Dilemmas (2020) and Moral Reasoning at Work (2019), all published by Palgrave Macmillan, Øyvind's main research interests are in communication climate, , ethics, moral psychology, leadership, and excellence in organizations.

Der Lebensmitteleinzelhandel in Deutschland ist von einer Reihe komplexer wettbewerbspolitischer Fragestellungen gekennzeichnet. Zum einen sprechen ein fortschreitender Konzentrationsprozess und hohe Nachfragemacht auf der Beschaffungsseite für eine abnehmende Wettbewerbsintensität. Auf der anderen Seite stehen Faktoren wie eine hohe Ladendichte, ein im internationalen Vergleich niedriges Preisniveau sowie geringe Margen dem gegenüber und deuten auf einen vitalen Wettbewerb im Lebensmitteleinzelhandel hin. -- Vor diesem Hintergrund diskutierte die Arbeitsgruppe Wettbewerb des Wirtschaftspoliti

At present, how to develop industries is a burning issue in Africa, where population growth remains high and economic development has thus far failed to provide sufficient jobs for many, especially young people and women. The creation of productive jobs through industrial development ought to be a central issue in steering economic activity across the continent. The authors of this book, consisting of two development economists and five practitioners, argue that the adoption of Kaizen management practices, which originated in Japan and have become widely used by manufacturers in advanced and emerging economies, is decisively the most effective first step for industrial development in Africa. This open access book discusses what Kaizen management is, why it is applicable to Africa, and why it can provide Africa with a springboard for sustainable economic growth and employment generation.
