Drath, K. (2016). Resilient Leadership: Beyond myths and misunderstandings (1st ed.). Routledge. https://doi.org/10.4324/9781315605746

Ebook de acceso abierto disponible en la base de datos Taylor & Francis, https://www.taylorfrancis.com/books/mono/10.4324/9781315605746/resilient-leadership-karsten-drath?context=ubx&refId=7a598461-47a2-4de6-857f-135e1434989e

Intense pressures pose considerable challenges to executives striving to succeed in an environment of increasing volatility, uncertainty, complexity and ambiguity. Today’s leaders are constantly fighting to make sense of their changing worlds and to make the right decisions for themselves, their teams and their business. Yet resilience is not a given. It is a dynamic competency that can be cultivated and improved and there is not just one single way to improve the resilience of a manager but actually many different ways on different levels.

The author differentiates between personal resilience, the ’resilience field’ and aspects of resilient leadership so that leaders can grasp how each relates to the other and how each can be used to enhance personal and collective resilience. He lays out concrete, practical approaches for overcoming obstacles to the development of resilience at all levels-extending the capacity of the individual leader, teams, group, and organizations to sustain themselves in the face of adversity.

Leaders can follow the practical steps and strategies, outlined in this guide, to enhance their capacity to withstand hardships and adversity and create an environment in which people within an organization can thrive and grow. The guidance and strategy draws from a model of resilience focused on (a) fundamental human needs as confirmed by neuroscience and (b) the consequences of not meeting these needs. These two pillars of resilience define a leader’s capacity to handle change, conflict, and ‘dysfunctional beliefs’- the barriers and sticking points that undermine a leader’s optimal business performance.

Miller, C., & Doering, A. (Eds.). (2014). The New Landscape of Mobile Learning: Redesigning Education in an App-Based World (1st ed.). Routledge. https://doi.org/10.4324/9780203108420

Ebook de acceso abierto disponible en la base de datos Taylor & Francis, https://www.taylorfrancis.com/books/mono/10.4324/9780203108420/new-landscape-mobile-learning-charles-miller-aaron-doering?context=ubx&refId=b3cbc651-8798-4aca-9990-97476770b34a

The New Landscape of Mobile Learning is the first book to provide a research based overview of the largely untapped array of potential tools that m-Learning offers educators and students in face-to-face, hybrid, and distance education. This cutting edge guide provides:

• An essential explanation of the emergence and role of Apps in education

• Design guidelines for educational Apps

• Case studies and student narratives from across the US describing successful App integration into both K-12 and Higher Education

• Robust, research-based evaluation criteria for educational Apps

Although many believe that Apps have the potential to create opportunities for transformative mobile education, a disparity currently exists between the individuals responsible for creating Apps (i.e. developers who often have little to no instructional experience) and the ultimate consumers in the classroom (i.e. K-20 educators and students). The New Landscape of Mobile Learning bridges this gap by illuminating critical design, integration, and evaluation narratives from leaders in the instructional design, distance education, and mobile learning fields.

Bhaskar, K., & Flower, J. (2019). Disruption in the Audit Market: The Future of the Big Four (1st ed.). Routledge. https://doi.org/10.4324/9780429270611

Ebook de acceso abierto disponible en la base de datos de Taylor & Francis, https://www.taylorfrancis.com/books/mono/10.4324/9780429270611/disruption-audit-market-krish-bhaskar-john-flower-rod-sellers

Focussing on the dominance of the Big Four auditing firms – PwC, EY, Deloitte and KPMG – this concise volume provides an authoritative critical assessment of the state and future of the audit market, currently the subject of much debate and the focus of significant government enquiries. Drawing on extensive research and a vast collection of evidence from interviews with insiders, experts and users, it explores the key issues of audit quality, independence, choice and the growing expectation gap.

Just as disruptive technologies are overturning other established sectors, this book explores their impact on accounting, financial reporting and auditing. It questions whether the Big Four-dominated audit market is prepared not only for the inevitable disruption of new technologies, but also the challenges of negative public perceptions, cynicism about regulation and demands for greater transparency.

In the context of increasing high-profile corporate failures, this book provides a compelling scrutiny of the industry’s failings and present difficulties, and the impact of future disruption. At this crucial time, it will be of great interest to students, researchers and professionals in accounting and auditing, as well as policy makers and regulators.
