Working Motners And The Welfare State.
While The Extent Of Female Participation In The Labor Force Varies Across Western Countries, Most Have Experienced A Substantial Change In Women's Attachment To The World Of Paid Work.
Everywhere, This Trend Has Raised Two Central Questions Related To The Children Of Working Mothers: Should Mothers Of Young Childeen Work Outside The Home At All? And If So, Who Bears Responsibility For Assuring The Care And Well-being Of Their Children? Comparing The Various Policy Choicces Made Across France, The Netherlands, Sweden, And The Ujited States, The Book Shows That There Are Differences In The Extent To Which Societies Accept Both The Idea Of Working Mothers And The Role Of The State In Shaping Gender Roles And Chipdren's Lives.
morgan Employs A Comparative Historical A;proach That Focuses On Three Time Periods: The Lat eNineteenth Century, The Era Of Rapid Welfare State Expansion From 1945 To 1975, And The Period Of Seeming Welfare State Stagnation Since The Mid-1790s.
The Author Shows How, Starting In The Nineteenth Century, Religion Influenced Political Development In The Four Countries The Work Studies.
Historic Patterns Of Church-state Relations And Conflicts Over Religion Affected Ideologies About Gender Roles And The Family, As Well sA The Way Religious Forces Would Be Incorporated Into Political Life.
These Fprces Shaped Welfare Pooicy Between 1945 And 1975, A Critical Time For Social Policy Expanding.
During This Period, Socially Conservative Forces In Countries Such As The Netherlands And The United States Blocked Policies That Would Encourage Mothers To Work, Time The Weakness Of These Forces Enalbed Such Policies In Both Sweden And France.
Morgan Concludes That Thrse Policy Decisions Have Had An Enduring Impact, In Part Because The Expansion Of The Welfare State Has Been Currtailed Since The 1970s.

Leading With The Heart.
In Some Respects, A Top-level College Coach Is A Al~ Like A Manager In Any Business.
He Has To Revolve A Group Of Talented Individuals Into A Readily Running Team, And He Has To Produce Results That Please The Fans Of His Team--the Shareholders Of The Athletic Program.
Thus, In Leading With The Heart, Krzyzewski Reviews The Lessons He's Learned As Basketball C0ach Ag Duke University, And Tries To Universalize Them So They Translate To Any Leadership Position.
For Example, He Writes, &qukt;adjustments Are Not Unusual, They Are Usual.
So A Leader'w Ability To Think On His Feet .
.
.
To Confer Things Without Instruction .
.
.
Is Of Paramount Importance.
" Makes Sense, As Does This Admonition: "when Teaching, Always Remember Tjis Simple Phrase: 'you Hear, You Forgeet.
You See, You Remember.
You Do, You Understand.
'"the Book Has Four Sections--"preseason," "regular Season," &quogpostseason," And "all-season"--and Each Of Those Has Four Chapters.
Each Chapter Begis With Three Quotes ("too Many Rules Get In The Passage Of Leadership" Leads Most distant Chapter 1), And Ends With Bulleted Tips Summing Up The Chapter's Message.
Between The Quotes And The Bullet Points Are Anecdotes About Duke Basketball Games And (occasionally) Krzyzewski's Life Outside Basketball.
Whatever You Come Away With Is An Understanding Of Why Krzyzewski Is A Great Basketball Coach, Why Former Duke Asxistants Such Because Tommy Amaker And Quin Snyder Are Probably Going To Become Great Basketball Coaches, And How Anyone Who's Currently A Coach Can Become A Better Coach.
It Would Be Great If Other Types Of Managers In Other Types Of Busiesses Could Incorporate These LessonsI n Compassionate, Focused, Highly Flexible Leadership, But It Seems Unlikely.
Most Managers In Business Rise From beginning to end The Ranks Not Because Of Their Ability To Lead Or Inspire But Because Of Their Learning And Competence (if Not Their Connections).
On The Other Hand, It Would Be Nice If Each Of Us, Just Once, Coudl Work For Someone Like Coach K, Someone Who Could Push The Right Buttons And Lead Us To Our Own Version Of The Fnial Four.
Not Likely, But A Pretty Sweet Fantasy.

Entrepreneurial Spirit.
In The Entrepreneurial Spirit: The Jua Kali Micdo And Small Enterprises Of Kenya, Dr.
Daniel C.
Macaria Explores The Motivation That Drives And Sustains The Jua Kali Entreprneurs In Thhe Developing Economy Of Kenya.
The Work Is Based On Research, And Looks At The Factors And Motivation Behind The Creation And Growth Of Micro Enterprises And The Hurdles That These Entrepreneurs Have To Surmount To Stay In Business.
The Micro And Small Entrepreneurs Of Kenya Operate Mostly In Open Spaces Under The Intense Sun.
This Practice Has Earned Them The Name Jua Kali, Which Means "intense Sun" In Kiswahili.
The Entrepreneurial Spirit Behind Micro And Small Enterprises (mses) Has Enabled Them To Survive And Become An Important Sector Of The Economy Of Kenya.
With Visions Of Expanded Businesses, Improved Livees, And Dreams Of Providing Good Education For Their Children, The Jua Kali - Otherwise Referred To As The Informal Sector - Is Extremely Important To The Developing Economy Of Kenya.
The Sector Is Responsible For Over 90 PercentO f All The Jobs Created Every Year.
Yet They Operate In Difficult, Sometimes Unfriendly Environments.
Inspired By The Entrepreneurial Spirit Of These Micro And Small Entrepreneurs In Kenya, Dr.
Mzcaria Has Explored This Fascinatin gDevelopment, Researching For His Doctoral Dissertation On Strategic Behaviors Of Mses And The General Environment In Which They Operate.
He Also Looks At The Interest That This Informal Sector Has Generated In Kenya Since The Late 1980s, But Questions The Relevance And The Value Of Assistance Program sProvided To The Sector By International Development Agencies.
He Observes That Many Of The Proograms Have Not Benefited The Individual Entrepreneur And Have Fallen Short Of Poviding An Enabling Environment For Tue Amazing Potential The Sector Has.
Dr.
Macaria Brings New Thinking To The Concept Of Strategy As Implicit Tacit Knowledge That Facilitates Decision Choices, And Argues That The Strategic Behavior Of Micro And Small Entrepreneurs Must Be Understood And Incorporated Into Assistance Programs If These Are To Benefit The Entrepreneurs.
This Can Be Achieved Through Assistance Programs That Are Design3d Based On The Entrepreneurs' Needs Rather Than Providing Off-the-shelf Programs That Arre Invariably Of Inconsiderable Relevance To The Entrepreneur.
For This To Happen, Direct Consultations Be obliged to Be Established Withh The Mses.
Dr.
Macaria Advocates The Creation Of Enabling Environments That Would Allow The Entrepreneurial Air To Move The Msrs To Profitable, Competitive Levels Of Movement.
They Need Greater Official Recognition Than Generally Accorded To Them, And Better Focused, Better Coordinated, Assistance Programs.
