Critical Thoughts from a Government Perspective
Author: Ali M. Al-Khouri
Publisher: Chartridge Books Oxford
ISBN: 1909287555
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 179
Book Description
Summary "Critical Thoughts From A Government Perspective" illustrates a broad picture that is grounded in the realities of day to day issues faced by public sector managers in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries. The chapters in the book examine the main areas of importance for public sector leaders; they have been grouped into four distinct categories: strategic management, organisational performance, e-government and national identity. The objective of "Critical Thoughts From A Government Perspective" is to: help augment recent public sector development efforts in the GCC; contribute to the advancement of research on the GCC; and serve as knowledge building tools for those interested in learning about public sector management practices in GCC countries. Key Features Many books about the GCC governmental sector are typically written from either a purely academic perspective or present a small subset of available research, thereby failing to capture critical management issues and considerations. Therefore, "Critical Thoughts From A Government Perspective" not only embodies insights based on extensive research but also the collective insights of numerous senior government practitioners. "Critical Thoughts From A Government Perspective" has been written from a philosophical 'mind-set' in the sense that if we need to improve our organisations and thereafter our nations, we need to be transparent when we share knowledge and practices. "Critical Thoughts From A Government Perspective" is easy-to-read and is highly practical. The Author Dr Al-Khouri is the Director General (Under Secretary) of the Emirates Identity Authority: a federal government organisation established in 2004 to rollout and manage the national identity management infrastructure program in the United Arab Emirates. Contents Strategic management Public value and ROI in the government sector Strategy development at Emirates Identity Authority Targeting results: lessons learned from the UAE National ID Program Re-thinking enrolment in identity card schemes Organisational performance Improving organisational performance through understanding human motivation Succeeding with transformational initiatives E-government Supporting e-government progress in the UAE National identity Population growth and governments' modernisation efforts: the case of GCC countries

Soft Power Superpowers
Author: Yasushi Watanabe
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1317459652
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 329
Book Description
The term "soft power" describes a country's ability to get what it wants by attracting rather than coercing others - by engaging hearts and minds through cultural and political values and foreign policies that other countries see as legitimate and conducive to their own interests.This book analyzes the soft power assets of the United States and Japan, and how they contributed to one of the most successful, if unlikely, bilateral relationships of the twentieth century. Sponsored by the U.S. Social Science Research Council and the Japan Foundation's Center for Global Partnership, the book brings together anthropologists, political scientists, historians, economists, diplomats, and others to explore the multiple axes of soft power that operate in the U.S.-Japanese relationship, and between the United States and Japan and other regions of the world.The contributors move beyond an "either-or" concept of hard versus soft power to a more dynamic interpretation, and demonstrate the important role of non-state actors in wielding soft power. They show how public diplomacy on both sides of the Pacific - bolstered by less formal influences such as popular cultural icons, product brands, martial arts, baseball, and educational exchanges - has led to a vibrant U.S.-Japanese relationship since World War II despite formidable challenges. Emphasizing the essentially interactive nature of persuasion, the book highlights an approach to soft power that has many implications for the world today.
