Book Description
Why buy us? Once merely a subset of HR but now its own critical department in most organizations, Global Mobility is currently undergoing a global transformation. New technologies, the constant evolution of companies, generational diversity and political situations have evolved the roles and lives of mobile professionals faster than existing policies can keep up, calling for a clear focus on the processes to be updated to cater better for the people driving Global Mobility.Are you as a Global Mobility Professional feeling overwhelmed by the speed and scope of this 'boom'? Perhaps you need to introduce yourself to the field and get a better, broader overview of Global Mobility. Maybe you are in HR or a line manager and want to ensure that you are becoming an employer of choice for younger generations demanding Global Mobility as a prerequisite for working with you. Or, you are just on the brink of deciding for or against an international assignment as an expat or expat family and want to understand the language we use better. Let us help you! How we will help you? Working with "The Global Mobility Workbook" and Angie Weinberger will enable you to: - run your Global Mobility in a more strategic way by deeper understanding trends and drivers of Global Mobility, develop and sort out your legal framework, policies, guidelines, exception management, - give you models for improving how you explain what we do to the outside world, - support expats and their spouses and enhance their "Expat Experience" through training, coaching and deeper understanding of the psychological effects of cultural adjustment, - develop your professional profile and "Global Competency". In order to make the expat experience worthwhile for their careers and support for their families even better, it takes people who want more than ticking off a checklist. It takes dedicated professionals and it needs personal communication with the entire expat family. We want to bring the human touch back into our process-driven work. That is just the tip of what Global Mobility truly is, and the Global Mobility Workbook provides not only a baseline starting point to understanding the field but is a hands-on manual for people in HR, line managers, expats and their spouses. What you can expect from us? Establishing the Global Mobility Brand: Strategic classification of international assignments for the "business case", integration of the assignment in succession planning and more. Optimizing the Global Mobility Process: A look at the operational implementation of international assignments. Defining the Global Mobility Clients: Focusing on the experience of expatriates and their spouses/life partners, as well as on the process of monitoring those who are affected, including their safety and health. Building the Global Mobility Team: Global Competency is presented as a key component in the career development of Global Mobility Professionals. It's a mix of knowledge, attitude, skills, reflected experience and body learning that is also the basis of our RockMeApp. We also coach you along the way and develop an online learning plan together.It's a workbook so it engages you with: Goal Setting: In the beginning of our journey together you set goals for yourself.Homework: Most chapters come with a suggestion of a homework. 12 Case Studies: In addition we provide downloadable cases studies from daily business scenarios.

Global Mobility of Highly Skilled People
Author: Driss Habti
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 3319950568
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 302
Book Description
This volume examines self-initiated expatriates (SIEs), the category of highly skilled people whose movement from one country to another is by choice. Although they are not forced to relocate due to work, conflict or natural disaster, their migration pattern is every bit as complex. The book challenges previous theoretical approaches that take for granted a more simplistic view of this population, and advances that mobility of SIEs relates to the expatriates themselves, their conditions and the different structures intervening in their career life course. With their visible increase worldwide, this book positions itself as a nexus for this on-going discussion, while linking self-initiated expatriation to the theoretical landscape of international skilled migration and mobility. Major interests that catch attention are transnational practices, work-related experiences and personal life course, including forms of inequalities in their migration experiences. The book identifies forms and drivers of migratory behaviour and provides an argument concerning the broader processes of mobility and integration. As such, this book constitutes a departure point for future research in terms of theoretical underpinnings and empirical rigor on global highly skilled mobility of SIEs. The collection of empirical case studies offers an insightful analysis for policy makers, concerned stakeholders and organizations to better cope with this form of migration.

Music, Social Media and Global Mobility
Author: Ole J. Mjos
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1136463275
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 184
Book Description
This book is about the relationship between media, communication and globalization, explored through the unique empirical study of electronic music practitioners’ use of the global social media: MySpace, Facebook, YouTube and Twitter. To understand the significance of the emerging nexus between social media and music in a global context, the book explores various aspects of production, distribution and consumption among electronic music practitioners as they engage with global social media, as well as a historical, political and economic exposition of the rise of this global social media environment. Drawing on interview-based research with electronic music artists, DJs, producers and managers, together with the historical portrayal of the emergence of global social media this pioneering study aims to capture a development taking place in music culture within the wider transformations of the media and communications landscape; from analogue to digital, from national to global, and from a largely passive to more active media use. In doing so, it explores the emergence of a media and communications ecology with increased mobility, velocity and uncertainty. The numerous competing, and rapidly growing and fading social media exemplify the vitality and volatility of the transforming global media, communication and cultural landscape. This study suggests that the music practitioner’s relationship with MySpace, Facebook, YouTube and Twitter and the key characteristics of these global social media, alter aspects of our practical and theoretical understandings of the process of media globalization. The book deploys an interdisciplinary approach to media globalization that takes into account and articulates this relationship, and reflects the enduring power equations and wider continuities and changes within the global media and communications sphere.

Visual Culture
Author: Richard Howells
Publisher: John Wiley & Sons
ISBN: 1509518819
Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 451
Book Description
This is a book about how to read visual images: from fine art to photography, film, television and new media. It explores how meaning is communicated by the wide variety of texts that inhabit our increasingly visual world. But, rather than simply providing set meanings to individual images, Visual Culture teaches readers how to interpret visual texts with their own eyes. While the first part of the book takes readers through differing theoretical approaches to visual analysis, the second part shifts to a medium-based analysis, connected by an underlying theme about the complex relationship between visual culture and reality. Howells and Negreiros draw together seemingly diverse methodologies, while ultimately arguing for a polysemic approach to visual analysis. The third edition of this popular book contains over fifty illustrations, for the first time in colour. Included in the revised text is a new section on images of power, fear and seduction, a new segment on video games, as well as fresh material on taste and judgement. This timely edition also offers a glossary and suggestions for further reading. Written in a clear, lively and engaging style, Visual Culture continues to be an ideal introduction for students taking courses in visual culture and communications in a range of disciplines, including media and cultural studies, sociology, and art and design.
