For as long as one can remember, the edifice of the neoclassical economic syn thesis has been under attack. Critiques have focused on the extreme unreality of the assumptions that underpin the Arrow-Debreu theorems of welfare economics. They have queried the excessive formalism of the edifice, and the lack of practical significance of many of the results.They have castigated the neoclassical synthesis for its internal incoherence (lacking an independent theory of capital, for example, one of the favorite topics of the Cambridge school), its lack of a dynamic element, its non-evolutionary character, its lack of any conception of "market process" and so the list could be continued (Blaug, 1997). Through all this, the neoclassi cal synthesis remains as strong as ever, impervious it seems to these or any other attacks. In this paper a different tack is taken. The neoclassical edifice is left alone, standing as a representation of what goes on in a certain kind ofeconomy- namely the economy wheregoods and services are producedand exchanged. The paper then introduces another kind of economy, namely an economy of productive entities called "resources"- that are needed to produce the economyofgoods and services.

The world and its business environments are in a state of constant change. The reality today is that organizations and their leaders are faced with increasingly daunting demands for change and, unless they build organizations that can keep pace with these fast-changing environments, it will be a challenge simply to survive while, at the same time, continuing to thrive and embrace uncertainty and disorder. One effective example of a world-renowned company that survived an existential crisis to become one of the most iconic companies in the world: The LEGO Group. In Building a Global Learning Organization (CRC Press, 2014), the authors showed how to develop and implement a global structure for learning based on the TWI (Training Within Industry) methods. In that book, you learned how the LEGO Group worked on business transformation through changes in organizational learning systems, including new ways of working and other Lean transformational initiatives. Great organizations have used that book as a benchmark for global and national rollouts of TWI programs and standard work initiatives. In this book, you get inspiration on how the LEGO Group met these challenges by developing and implementing a framework for transformations to create a common approach to designing, leading and anchoring change in an effective and impactful way. You get insights into the journey which began by designing the LEGO Way of Change, the process of testing the approach in a bigger transformation which, based on pilot learnings, was implemented in transformational initiatives. This book outlines some of the approaches that the LEGO Group implemented in order to ensure change would be both successfully implemented and sustained, including in-depth guides on impactful interventions with both leaders and people in the organization. The author discusses personalizing and navigating change as well as designing change in the organization and measuring its impact. You will continue learning more from specific real-life case studies from business leaders focused on different kinds of transformation, from reshaping functional teams to optimizing lead time through improved ways of working. When it comes down to it, change is about the people side of the equation. It is easy to change strategy, process, or technology, but it is harder to change individuals, people, and their behaviors. This book will provide inspiration and guidance on how to bring the people side of change into play in an effective and impactful way.

This book addresses climate change and sustainability management from a transdisciplinary perspective which encompasses within itself how different humanistic disciplines can culminate with each other to move ahead with the agenda. Issues of adapting to climate change and sustainability management have been gaining global prominence over the past few decades. There have also been volumes of literature that highlight the technical dimensions of climate change and sustainability across regions and cultures. However, they have had limited strength to bring direct and desirable impact in promoting pro-climate action and sustainability behaviour. The major reason for this is limited inclusion of pluralistic perspectives into human cognition and affect, and resultant limited public acceptability. Although behavioural science as a discipline has taken a front seat in promoting behavioural transformation, the book argues that other humanistic fields of understanding like education, art, literature, philosophy, political science, sociology, economics, etc., have to be integrated in order to present a holistic standpoint to sustainability literature.

“Any organization that seeks transformation desires to take advantage of new opportunities and growth. Most organizations turn to technology as the major driver of change. But technology is an enabler, not a silver bullet. Mistaking technology for transformation will lead an organization to failure. True transformative change requires an understanding of the human factors at play, how conscious and subconscious behaviors can derail any plan, and how society is influencing your organization. Change is the only constant. An evolving reality is emerging, one that will fundamentally change who we are, how we work, and how organizations will be relevant today and in the future. The truth about transformation is not what you may think. This guide to organizational transformation will surprise, confound, provoke, and challenge every ingrained belief. The future is out there, and the truth about transformation will change how you lead.”

This book investigates Ludwik Fleck’s thought as a radical critique of institutionalized knowledge production, clarifying and extending his concepts to form an updated methodology. It reconstructs the cultural and institutional factors that, as Fleck insisted, are interactional – i.e., shaped by entangled processes rather than a single determinant. Offering an alternative to dominant models of cultural change, it demonstrates how new thought styles emerge, circulate, and face resistance in moments of revolutionary transformation. The central question addressed is how certain communities come to think in new ways – both in response to and contributing to cultural transformations. Such changes are fiercely contested – through censorship, exclusion, and institutional control. When Fleck’s concepts are enhanced by discourse analysis, these struggles can be revealed archaeologically, showing the layers of contestation beneath claims to neutrality and purity. Tracing these conflicts from antiquity to modernity, this book examines how thought styles are marginalized, suppressed, or institutionalized. It examines the oligarchic thought style in Plato’s responses to cultural trauma and loss of control, follows the spread of the Socratic caesura through Cicero’s philosophia and Shaftesbury’s civic reactivation of Socrates, and analyzes its role in the German university system. There, following the exclusion of Hobbes and Spinoza, Bildung became philosophy’s means of asserting autonomy from theological control, culminating in Kant’s Conflict of the Faculties. This book rejects single-determinant models of cultural change – economic, epistemic, discursive, or technological – while also challenging entrenched dichotomies such as myth vs. logos, Enlightenment vs. Counter-Enlightenment, and the public sphere vs. the state. Expanding on Fleck’s theory of thought styles, it develops an open epistemology that continuously reveals new dimensions of cultural facts and their institutional regulation. The book offers a methodologically innovative framework for understanding cultural change. As such, it will be of interest to scholars of philosophy, intellectual history, discourse analysis, and the history of ideas, as well as those exploring the interplay of thought, power, and institutional authority.

"This book, titled Beyond Boundaries, begins with the powerful insight: “Where ego ends, the mind bends”—a spark that gently shifts the way life is seen. It is not merely a book—it is a mirror reflecting what lies beneath fear, pride, and control. When ego softens, clarity begins to unfold. Life appears without filters—free from pressure, judgment, distraction, or confusion. Stillness, strength, and peace emerge—not from effort, but from presence and awareness. It is not about becoming something new—but remembering what has always been within. Inspired by the timeless teachings of His Holiness Sri Vidyanarayana Theertha, these pages carry no loud promises. Rather, they open a gentle path toward truth, simplicity, and inner freedom. This is not the end—but the beginning. Not a destination, but a return—to what is real, whole, and eternally present in all."

Europe and the world in all their diversity and complexity have always been – and continue to be – in a state of change. Recent (geo)political, environmental, social, and economic developments demonstrate a world in constant flux. These ever-changing framework conditions require corresponding transformations in many different structures. This anthology takes these observations as a starting point to illuminate theoretical perspectives, methodological approaches, and empirical insights related to recent transformation processes in Europe and beyond – with a special focus in this respect on the USA. In view of their comprehensive nature, transformation processes cannot be analysed from a single perspective – a uniform approach or theory would fail to address their complexity and contingency. In this sense, “horizontal geographies” serves as our theoretical framework. The concept refers to comprehensive, synthesizing regional analyses which collect, structure, and reflect on knowledge with diverse spatial, social, and cultural contexts. The interdisciplinary and international authorship does justice to the idea of horizontal, multi-perspective geographies, and considers a wide range of transformation processes in Europe and beyond.

#html-body [data-pb-style=L55HOYN]{justify-content:flex-start;display:flex;flex-direction:column;background-position:left top;background-size:cover;background-repeat:no-repeat;background-attachment:scroll}As projects become increasingly technically complex and global, involving more functions, products, geographies, and stakeholders, Project Planning is more critical than ever as a key success factor. This is because Project Planning is essential not only to ensure timely deliveries but also to build trust among all project stakeholders. Expertise in this field has become an important criterion for customers and sponsors when selecting their suppliers. Having a standard for Project Planning aligned with the IPMA Project Management standard (ICB4) enables the professions of Project Planners and Project Managers to collaborate harmoniously, using a shared language. The people competence elements are identical for both professions, as they work together within the same project team. Perspective competence elements are similarly aligned, although tailored to meet the specific needs of project planning. The practice competence elements go deeper into traditional planning aspects and incorporate modern approaches, such as forensic planning and agile methods. Given the global shortage of Project Planners, this standard provides organisations with a model to develop their project planning teams and identify gaps in expertise—not only in terms of knowledge but also in skills and abilities. For Project Planners themselves, the standard serves as a tool for creating their own development plans within the Project Planning profession.

In The Primary Way, the distinguished scholar of Chinese philosophy Chung-ying Cheng synthesizes his lifetime of work on the Yijing, also known as the I Ching or Book of Changes. Cheng offers a systematic engagement with the classic Chinese text as a philosophy that is still valuable and relevant today. In contemporary philosophical terms, Cheng has developed the ontological hermeneutics of the Yijing as well as its philosophical methodology of symbolic reference in a holistic and onto-generative system of trigrams and hexagrams. The book is organized around eight themes that illuminate Cheng's interpretation of the Yijing as a philosophy for creative human action and transformation. He demonstrates how the philosophy of change in the Yijing embodies early Chinese ontology, cosmology, epistemology, and virtue ethics in the interpretation of divinatory judgments. Cheng's work shows how the philosophy of change contains a vision of humanity as creatively related to heaven and earth, and how it gives positive meaning to any change as part of a ceaseless creativity. With this understanding, it enables humanity to develop its potential as a partner of heaven and earth.
