Book Description
Businesses have had to face many challenges due to the COVID-19 pandemic; to survive in the changing landscape, they had to adapt quickly and implement new tactics and best practices to stay competitive. Networking is one of the many areas that looks vastly different in a post-pandemic world and companies must understand this change or risk falling behind. Further study is required to uncover the various difficulties and potential future directions of networking and innovation within the business landscape. The Handbook of Research on Digital Innovation and Networking in Post-COVID-19 Organizations provides a thorough overview of the ways in which organizations have had to change and adapt to the new business environments and considers how networking looks different in a post-COVID-19 world. Covering key topics such as organizational structures, consumer behavior, teleworking, and collaborations, this major reference work is ideal for managers, business owners, industry professionals, policymakers, researchers, scholars, academicians, practitioners, instructors, and students.

Book Description
At the outset of the COVID-19 pandemic, many thought the changes taking place would be fleeting. It is now widely recognized that COVID-19 will not be the last pandemic in our highly interconnected world, and “pandemic societies” will be with us for some time. Pandemic Societies brings together experts in a wide range of academic disciplines to reflect on how their fields might be transformed in this new context. While the pandemic forces global institutions, such as the World Health Organization, to reimagine the ways in which they function, it also reaches into our everyday lives to change how we organize culture, performing arts, sports, tourism, and cities. Exploring how COVID-19 has altered people’s daily experiences – the ways they meet to play, to perform, and to entertain themselves – this book also pulls the lens back to take in the broader institutional and political contexts in which these quotidian activities are carried out. Examining the profound ways in which the COVID-19 pandemic has transformed every aspect of our lives, Pandemic Societies attempts to understand how we might act to steer this pandemic society, and how to reinvent institutions and practices that we think of as intrinsically face to face.

Book Description
Covid-19 : La dégradation de la santé mentale des salariés n'est pas inéluctable ! La pandémie de Covid-19 a provoqué une crise psychologique qui s'apparente à un véritable stress test pour le monde du travail. Révélant de nombreuses failles en matière de prévention des risques psychosociaux, le télétravail massif a confronté organisations, managers et salariés à leurs propres limites et vulnérabilités. Les conséquences psychologiques de cette épidémie ne sont pourtant pas inéluctables. De nombreuses entreprises s'en sortent mieux que d'autres, tout comme un certain nombre de managers et d'individus qui, bien avant ces événements, avaient adopté des pratiques saines pour préserver l'état moral de chacun. Cet ouvrage s'appuie sur l'accompagnement des entreprises effectué par les auteurs et les différents baromètres réalisés au long de la crise. Il propose des analyses de situations ainsi qu'un ensemble d'actions à mener pour favoriser une meilleure qualité de vie au travail. Il entend démontrer que les politiques les plus efficaces en la matière reposent à la fois sur des actions individuelles, managériales et organisationnelles, cette combinaison étant la clé d'une résilience collective face aux bouleversements actuels et à venir.

This volume presents a range of research approaches to the exploration of ageing during a pandemic situation. One of the first collections of its kind, it offers an array of studies employing research methodologies that lend themselves to replication in similar contexts by those seeking to understand the effects of epidemics on older people. Thematically organised, it shows how to reconcile qualitative and quantitative approaches, thus rendering them complementary, bringing together studies from around the world to offer an international perspective on ageing as it relates to an unprecedented epidemiological phenomenon. As such, it will appeal to researchers in the field of gerontology, as well as sociologists of medicine and clinicians seeking to understand the disruptive effects of the recent coronavirus outbreak on later life.

Book Description
Health organizations in social, medico-social and health sectors are not immune to the pressures of productivity, efficiency and quality. The race against time, which is far more problematic today than 20 years ago, makes care in the workplace much more difficult to implement, though it is essential. The onset of the Covid-19 pandemic in 2020 only reinforced this stance. Caring Management in Heath Organizations questions the benevolent nature of management, understood here to mean taking care, according a central role to relationships. It takes a political, historical and international perspective on health management, examining successful implementations of this practice in health organizations, with all its difficulties, pitfalls and riches. Other sectors are also explored. This book takes a critical look at the very foundations of “caring management”. It opens up the debate between researchers from different backgrounds and professionals in the field.

Book Description
A core interest of social science is the study of stratification--inequalities in income, power, and prestige. Few persons would care about such inequalities if the poor, powerless, and despised were as happy and fulfilled as the wealthy, powerful, and admired. Social research often springs from humanistic empathy and concern as much as from scholarly and scientific curiosity. An economist might observe that black Americans are disproportionately poor, and investigate racial differences in education, employment, and occupation that account for disproportionate poverty. A table comparing additional income blacks and whites can expect for each additional year of education is thus as interesting in its own right as any dinosaur bone or photo of Saturn. However, something more than curiosity underscores our interest in the table. Racial differences in status and income are a problem in the human sense. Inequality in misery makes social and economic inequality personally meaningful. There are two ways social scientists avoid advocacy in addressing issues of social stratification. The first way is to resist projecting personal beliefs, values, and responses as much as possible, while recognizing that the attempt is never fully successful. The second way is by giving the values of the subjects an expression in the research design. Typically, this takes the form of opinion or attitude surveys. Researchers ask respondents to rate the seriousness of crimes, the appropriateness of a punishment for a crime, the prestige of occupations, the fair pay for a job, or the largest amount of money a family can earn and not be poor, and so on. The aggregate judgments, and variations in judgments, represent the values of the subjects and not those of the researcher. They are objective facts with causes and consequences of interest in their own right. This work is an effort to move methodology closer to human concerns without sacrificing the scientific grounds of research as such. The

Book Description
The novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2, which causes the disease known as COVID-19, has infected people in 212 countries so far and on every continent except Antarctica. Vast changes to our home lives, social interactions, government functioning and relations between countries have swept the world in a few months and are difficult to hold in one’s mind at one time. That is why a collaborative effort such as this edited, multidisciplinary collection is needed. This book confronts the vulnerabilities and interconnectedness made visible by the pandemic and its consequences, along with the legal, ethical and policy responses. These include vulnerabilities for people who have been harmed or will be harmed by the virus directly and those harmed by measures taken to slow its relentless march; vulnerabilities exposed in our institutions, governance and legal structures; and vulnerabilities in other countries and at the global level where persistent injustices harm us all. Hopefully, COVID-19 will forces us to deeply reflect on how we govern and our policy priorities; to focus preparedness, precaution, and recovery to include all, not just some. Published in English with some chapters in French.
