The correct implementation of a strategy is one aspect that today's organizations demand in order to maintain positive impacts in all key areas and phases of the management cycle. Even if the plan contains a number of good intentions, but some of them are not made known to demonstrate compliance, we will have less evidence for what we sought to change. Traditionally, planning is regarded as being responsible for the budget, tax, accounting, and financial issues. With regards to results, however, poor quality external environment and user satisfaction remain a gap that organizations are not accustomed to closing. In the public sector, the deficiencies are greater because of problems in the justification for allocating budgets, which are then forgotten in reports and accountability to society. In other words, they have spent the money, but they have no idea whether society's problems have been reduced or eliminated. In this book, I present thirteen steps that will enable us to see the whole picture of the integrated steps in the managerial cycle. It is an all-in-one approach that gives managers a wider perspective than they have traditionally had, starting with planning and moving onto accountability through an automated system of measurement.

Organizations implement an indicators system to manage several types of resources and reduce dysfunctions through better decision-making. However, many have lost sight of how to manage indicators and information systems in a way that strengthens the capacity to react at strategic and operational levels. From the planning perspective, managers agree what needs to be done in the short, medium and long term and these are expressed in a plan encompassing the organization´s aspirations over various time horizons. A measurement plan is often missing, however, especially in the form of a document that specifies each indicator and governs each user´s behavior when using performance indicators, as well as the metrics that allow us to learns whether the measurement project is having the desired impact on the organizational environment over time. “Managing Your Indicators System: A Key for Managers and Planners” intends to fill a void in how to manage your organization´s indicators system, thus having a positive effect on the performance of managers and planners.

Digital Business Transformation, Digitalisation, Business Strategy, Business Process, Business Analysis, Business Architecture, Business Models This book serves practitioners as a guide to digital business engineering. It was consciously conceived and prepared from a methodological perspective, thereby avoiding a strongly "technological" approach, rather focusing on the presentation of methods and instruments. Its basis is a tried and tested framework model that can be understood as the ideal management cycle of digital business engineering. The control loop consists of goal-setting (Chapter 1: Setting a Business Strategy), implementation (Chapters 2–5), and success assessment (Chapter 6: Validating the Success of Business Transformation) and is located in an outer circuit. The operational implementation phases of digital business engineering are part of the inner cycle: Defining a Business Case (Chapter 2), Eliciting the Business Processes (Chapter 3), Deriving the Business Requirements (Chapter 4), and Transforming the Business Architecture (Chapter 5). The book follows a didactic structure: Each chapter includes learning objectives, summaries, and repetition questions with solutions that can help the reader to reassure themselves and strengthen their knowledge. Users who want to familiarise themselves with the field of digital business engineering thus have material at their disposal that is ideal for self-study. But these modules can also help experienced digital business engineers to deepen their knowledge in their organisation and to strengthen their overall methodological competence.

This volume analyzes cases from emerging economies in relation to the global endeavor to promote the vision of sustainable development in all forms of education. It aims to discuss the significance of hearing local voices and understanding local discourse regarding strategies for action for change, and the role of educational systems as a means to communicate, promote and educate for the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). In this book, emerging economies are defined as newly industrialized countries that have not yet reached developed status, but have, in a macro-economic sense, outpaced their developing counterparts. In this context, the book highlights how education in emerging economies could extend conventional economic methods to sustainability issues, or depart from money-based calculations and business-dominated values to promotion of real-life considerations and ethical, environmental and humanistic values. With the help of this volume, readers will have a chance to look at educational response, inclusion and empowerment for SDGs in countries with emerging economies, and to grasp the synthesis of Education for Sustainable Development/Global Citizenship Education (ESD/GCE) within the overall national educational systems. This volume focuses on early childhood through upper secondary education.
