This book shows that the introduction of the European Credit Transfer System (ECTS) of credit points as a new accounting unit at universities has led to increased bureaucracy and the schoolmaster-style regimentation of Bachelor’s and Master’s courses. It explains how, due to the pressure of having to plan every single working hour of studying in advance, a ‘Sudoku Effect’ is created by the necessity to combine courses, exams and modules in such a way that the points ‘add up’. An unintentional side effect of the introduction of the ECTS, the Sudoku Effect has led to more classroom style teaching, an inflation of exams and fewer choices available to students. It has resulted in such complex and contradictory guidelines for the planning of the curriculum that the values attributed to the higher education reform can often only be realised if the rules for Bachelor’s and Master’s programmes are ignored, or at least stretched, in practice. The book describes how the reaction to this situation is the continuous further refinement of the complicated rules rather than their abolishment.

Kaum ein Begriff hat im Management einen so wohlfeilen Klang wie der der Strategie – und gleichzeitig ist kaum ein Begriff so unklar bestimmt. Als Ausweg aus dem Begriffswirrwarr wird in diesem Buch mit Rückgriff auf die Systemtheorie eine Definition vorgeschlagen, die es erlaubt, verschiedene Stränge des Strategiediskurses zu sortieren: Strategien sind „Mittelsuchprogramme“, um einen vorher definierten Zweck zu erreichen. Mit der in diesem Buch vorgestellten Vorgehensweise gelingt es, die klassischen Vorstellungen von Strategien mit der modernen Organisationstheorie zu konfrontieren und zu zeigen, wie eine Strategieentwicklung jenseits von zweckrationalen Verengungen in Organisationen aussehen kann. Der Autor Stefan Kühl ist Professor für Organisationssoziologie an der Universität Bielefeld und arbeitet als Berater bei der auf Strategieberatung und Organisationsentwicklung spezialisierten Firma Metaplan insbesondere für Ministerien, Verwaltungen, Unternehmen und Verbände.

In Organisationen hat es immer schon personenorientierte Beratung gegeben. Man holte sich Hilfestellung beim Vorgesetzten, wenn man mit einer Aufgabenstellung nicht zurechtkam, oder suchte beim Mittagessen durchs Lästern über den Chef Rat bei Kollegen. Aber erst in den letzten Jahrzehnten haben sich mit Coaching und Supervision Formate herausgebildet, die diese Leistung durch spezialisierte Berater erbringen. Wie ist es zur Popularität dieser Beratungsansätze gekommen? Welche Schwierigkeiten stellen sich bei der Darstellung des Nutzens? Wie reagieren Coachs und Supervisoren auf das Problem der Scharlatanarie unter den Leistungsanbietern? Welche Probleme stellen sich Leistungsanbietern bei der Darstellung von Kompetenzen in Beratungsgesprächen? Und welche Funktion erfüllt die personenorientierte Beratung in Form von Coaching und Supervision für die Organisation? Aus einer soziologischen Perspektive bietet dieses Buch Antworten auf diese Fragen.

Bei Projekten, die sich mit schlecht definierten Problemen beschäftigen, führen die Prinzipien des klassischen Projektmanagements nicht weiter: Projektmanager versuchen vergeblich, eine lineare Vorgehensweise aufrechtzuerhalten, auch wenn Zielkorridore, Betroffene und Rahmenbedingungen nicht genau zu bestimmen sind. Basierend auf aktuellen organisationstheoretischen Überlegungen wird eine grundlegend andere Betrachtungs- und Herangehensweise vorgeschlagen: Erprobungen zu beginnen, bevor überhaupt zu Ende gedacht wurde. Die Evaluation von Projekten setzt nicht an Ziel-Ist-Vergleichen an, sondern daran, ob es gelungen ist, Stagnation zu überwinden, Konflikte auszuräumen und Verständigung über neue Handlungsmöglichkeiten herbeizuführen.

When Hitler published Mein Kampf in 1924, he held up a foreign law as a model for his program of racial purification: The U.S. Immigration Restriction Act of 1924, which prohibited the immigration of those with hereditary illnesses and entire ethnic groups.

When Hitler published Mein Kampf in 1924, he held up a foreign law as a model for his program of racial purification: The U.S. Immigration Restriction Act of 1924, which prohibited the immigration of those with hereditary illnesses and entire ethnic groups. When the Nazis took power in 1933, they installed a program of eugenics - the attempted "improvement" of the population through forced sterilization and marriage controls - that consciously drew on the U.S. example. By then, many American states had long had compulsory sterilization laws for "defectives," upheld by the Supreme Court in 1927. In The Nazi Connection, Stefan Kuhl uncovers the ties between the American eugenics movement and the Nazi program of racial hygiene, showing that many American scientists actively supported Hitler's policies and the idea of sterilization as a genetic control had been accepted internationally by the early twentieth century. By 1945, when the murderous nature of the Nazi government was made perfectly clear, the American eugenicists sought to downplay the close connections between themselves and the German program. Kuhl's deeply documented book provides a devastating indictment of the influence - and aid - provided by American scientists for the most comprehensive attempt to enforce racial purity in world history
