I created The Global Purpose Approach to help people gain the interest, knowledge, and skills needed for them to become more global-minded individuals. The idea for the book evolved from the need to enhance instruction in multicultural education so that people may be more knowledgeable, respectful, and appreciative of the geographies, languages, and cultures of people across the globe. The principles, content, and strategies that result comprise The Global Purpose Approachan instructional framework to introduce and integrate multiculturalism in schools, classrooms, private corporations, public agencies, and individuals daily lives. The purpose of The Global Purpose Approach is to foster multicultural awareness and education by helping to understand, respect, and appreciate similarities and differences across cultures. It consists of six guiding principlespurpose, environment, observation, perspective, language, and exploration (PEOPLE)together with an outline (NO FEAR) and resources for interactive and immersive learning of the core elements of culture. The intended impact of The Global Purpose Approach is to develop people who have enhanced knowledge and appreciation of diverse cultures and who can, therefore, interact and contribute innovatively in an interconnected, global society. Human resource professionals, organizational leaders, school districts, and teachers may use this book as a guide to integrate multicultural education in their departments, organizations, school systems, and classrooms. It also allows for educators to easily adapt the approach to fit their curriculum requirements and existing teaching plans and to implement it within their daily teaching. In this way, The Global Purpose Approach can be seen as a way to strengthen current teaching practices by adopting a set of philosophies and utilizing activities to foster more globally connected, engaged citizens without the need to fully revise or change.

This book critically examines the global diffusion and local reception of resilience through the implementation of Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) programmes in Pacific and Caribbean island states. Global efforts to strengthen local disaster resilience capacities have become a staple of international development activity in recent decades, yet the successful implementation of DRR projects designed to strengthen local resilience remains elusive. While there are pockets of success, a gap remains between global expectations and local realities. Through a critical realist study of global and local worldviews of resilience in the Pacific and Caribbean islands, this book argues that the global advocacy of DRR remains inadequate because of a failure to prioritise a person-orientated ethics in its conceptualization of disaster resilience. This regional comparison provides a valuable lens to understand the underlying social structures that makes resilience possible and the extent to which local governments, communities and persons interpret and modify their behaviour on risk when faced with the global message on resilience. This book will be of much interest to students of resilience, risk management, development studies, and area studies.

This book represents views, frameworks and practices on stimulating and realising our optimal potential as human beings in the context of a workplace where there is a desire to achieve shared goals and aspirations in order to accomplish positive economic, societal and environmental impacts and outcomes. It describes a vision of how life and work in organisations could be. We describe a new kind of organisation. Being a good person and doing good things while making profit are a real possibility for those management innovators who think beyond immediate trade-offs. In this book we explore management innovation as core study field and arena for re-inventing and re-imagining how people in organisations could execute management activities such as planning, organising, leading and controlling for multiple stakeholder satisfaction and benefits. Work can be much more joyful and fulfilling than we think, but it requires courage from us to take responsibility when freedom is offered.

The ever-changing conditions of the present climate require leaders who can ensure adaptation between human resources and work, transform systems, and direct people to goals in a more effective and persuasive way. Leadership is very crucial and necessary in the field of tourism, as it is in all fields. Leadership has been dealt with in the historical process with situational approaches, behavioral approaches, and leadership skills; since the early 1980s, leadership approaches such as transformative, servant, spiritual, and authentic leadership have come to the fore. Leadership Approaches in Global Hospitality and Tourism examines popular approaches to leadership in the context of tourism and contributes to the extant literature by demonstrating various aspects of the hospitality and tourism industry. It reveals the leadership approaches that scholars and practitioners should adopt in order to understand the crucial role of leadership and to respond to everchanging conditions with empirical studies, theoretical backgrounds, and best practices. Covering topics such as soft skills, transformational leadership, and self-leadership, this premier reference source is an excellent resource for business executives and managers, governmental and non-governmental organization leaders, students and educators of higher education, librarians, researchers, and academicians.

This book not only provides a comprehensive introduction to neural-based PCA methods in control science, but also presents many novel PCA algorithms and their extensions and generalizations, e.g., dual purpose, coupled PCA, GED, neural based SVD algorithms, etc. It also discusses in detail various analysis methods for the convergence, stabilizing, self-stabilizing property of algorithms, and introduces the deterministic discrete-time systems method to analyze the convergence of PCA/MCA algorithms. Readers should be familiar with numerical analysis and the fundamentals of statistics, such as the basics of least squares and stochastic algorithms. Although it focuses on neural networks, the book only presents their learning law, which is simply an iterative algorithm. Therefore, no a priori knowledge of neural networks is required. This book will be of interest and serve as a reference source to researchers and students in applied mathematics, statistics, engineering, and other related fields.
