Organizational and Budgetary Slack
Riahi-Belkaoui's research shows that U.S. firms, and possibly firms elsewhere, resort to the underutilization of their resources, a phenomenon known as organizational and budgetary slack. In this, the first exhaustive study of slack, the author identifies and explains the phenomenon and its causes, explicates the characteristics of organizations afflicted by it, and suggests ways to remedy it. In doing so, he also analyzes the role of the multidivisional structure and the performance plan in the creation of slack, and the distortion of information that accompanies it. A challenging study for organizational behavior theorists and for organization planners and top management in the private and public sectors.

Das Management des Organizational Slack
Die Frage nach dem bestmöglichen Einsatz vorhandener Ressourcen ist für die Betriebs- wirtschaftslehre seit jeher zentral. Im Verlauf der programmatischen Entwicklung und Verfeinerung des Faches erhöhte sich jedoch die Anzahl und Komplexität der bei ihrer Beantwortung zu berücksichtigenden Kriterien. Konnte zunächst davon ausgegangen werden, daß der Gewinn als alleiniges Kriterium für die Beurteilung des Erfolgs von Ressourcenverwendungen unstrittig sei, so brachte die sozialwissenschaftliche Öffnung der Betriebswirtschaftslehre -vor allem unter dem Einfluß der Konzeption des entschei- dungsorientierten Ansatzes - eine Erweiterung des Katalogs von Beurteilungskriterien mit sich. Die Erkenntnis des Fehlens einer einheitlichen, monovariablen Zielfunktion der Unternehmung und der Existenz eines pluralistischen Zielsystems mit immanenten Konkurrenzbeziehungen ließ den Grad der Komplexität betriebswirtschaftlicher Pro- bleme erheblich steigen. Die Antwort auf die Frage, ob eine Ressourcenverwendung der Realisierung des Zielsystems einer Unternehmung förderlich oder abträglich ist, fällt damit schwerer. Dazu trägt auch bei, daß angesichts des sich perpetuierenden sozio- ökonomischen Wandels immer mehr Ressourcen dafür eingesetzt werden müssen, die Lebensfahigkeit einer Unternehmung angesichts einer kaum prognostizierbaren Zu- kunft zu sichern. Die vorliegende Arbeit befaßt sich mit den in der Organisationstheorie als, Organiza- tional Slack' bezeichneten Ressourcenverwendungen, bei denen im ersten Zugriff unklar ist, ob sie Verschwendung darstellen oder im Sinne der Organisationsziele funktional wirken. Zielsetzung der Arbeit ist es, Aussagen darüber abzuleiten, wie Ressourcenver- schwendung durch organisationale Gestaltungsmaßnahmen vermieden oder abgebaut und auf welche Weise gezielter Ressourceneinsatz zur Sicherung der zukünftigen Funk- tionsfähigkeit betriebswirtschaftlicher Organisationen geplant werden kann.

Slacking
Prestige no longer ensures substance at Ivy League schools; students must navigate a maze of shallow, politicized courses to uncover the rare gems of a classical education, exposing the need for academic renewal."This book is a banquet of the absurdities that Ivy League universities serve up to their students under the rubric of general education. Anyone who wonders how the graduates of America’s elite institutions come by their jaundiced view of our country should start here. The few who refuse to “slack” are limited to the hard sciences and the few remaining excellent courses in the humanities."—Peter Wood, President, National Association of ScholarsIvy League universities can no longer be trusted to produce well-educated students. Even a cursory review of the course titles at top schools shows that these $320,000-plus diplomas may confer legacy prestige to graduates, but not necessarily knowledge or wisdom. At Cornell, for example, students can take Queer Girlhood, Beyoncé Nation, and Intersectional Disability Studies. The course list at Yale includes Pop Sapphism and Comparative Settler Geographies. At Princeton: Shoes. Penn offers Reality TV and Gender and Decolonizing French Food. Even worse, these courses actually fulfill general education requirements. It is still possible to earn a great education at Princeton, Harvard, Yale, Penn, Columbia, Brown, Cornell, or Dartmouth, but doing so requires prudence and persistence. In Slacking, Adam Kissel, Rachel Alexander Cambre, and Madison Marino Doan dedicate one chapter to each Ivy League college, providing specific information about the coursework that serious students should pursue to extract a real education from these decaying institutions. Every chapter concludes with two course lists, both of which meet the school’s general education requirements. One displays the worst collection of courses that an inveterate “slacker” could take to skate through the requirements for entertainment, reinforcement of political biases, and narrow specialization. The other lists the best choice of courses a dedicated striver could take to acquire a well rounded, content-rich liberal education. The contrast between the two sounds a rousing alarm bell for curriculum reform at America’s best-known colleges.

"Sets the standard for excellence in the field and distinguishes itself as a truly vital and comprehensive book within its domain.

Deported to Death
What happens to migrants after they are deported from the United States and dropped off at the Mexican border, often hundreds if not thousands of miles from their hometowns? In this eye-opening work, Jeremy Slack foregrounds the voices and experiences of Mexican deportees, who frequently become targets of extreme forms of violence, including migrant massacres, upon their return to Mexico. Navigating the complex world of the border, Slack investigates how the high-profile drug war has led to more than two hundred thousand deaths in Mexico, and how many deportees, stranded and vulnerable in unfamiliar cities, have become fodder for drug cartel struggles. Like no other book before it, Deported to Death reshapes debates on the long-term impact of border enforcement and illustrates the complex decisions migrants must make about whether to attempt the return to an often dangerous life in Mexico or face increasingly harsh punishment in the United States.

Picking Up the Slack
Canada has over-promised and under-delivered on climate change, setting weak goals and allowing carve-outs, exceptions, and exemptions to undermine its climate policies. Why, in an era when climate change is front of mind for so many people, have we failed to make progress? This question has been the source of heated debate across the political spectrum. In Picking Up the Slack, Andrew Green draws together different perspectives on the challenge facing Canada to offer an accessible account of the ideas and institutions that have impeded climate change action.Picking Up the Slack embraces the complexity of the problem, showing that its sources lie deep in Canada’s institutional arrangements – pointing to the role played by federal-provincial power sharing arrangements, the heavy reliance on discretion in Canadian law, the role of the courts, and the impact of social norms. Working from a broad perspective that incorporates the insights of economics, law, political science, and philosophy, Green unpacks the features of Canadian policy making that determine the successes and failures of climate policies. His message is ultimately optimistic: Picking Up the Slack sheds light on how we can bring about meaningful movement towards a fair and positive future.
