TL;DR: In this article, the authors present the results of a survey administered across 21 countries that seeks to examine quality priorities and practices by adopting the Global Leadership and Organizational Behaviour Effectiveness (GLOBE) framework.
Abstract: The purpose of this chapter is to address the extent to which quality management is “culture-specific.” The chapter presents the results of a survey administered across 21 countries that seeks to examine quality priorities and practices by adopting the Global Leadership and Organizational Behaviour Effectiveness (GLOBE) framework (House et al., 2004). Drawing on previous research (Vecchi & Brennan, 2011), data was collected in 2009 as part of the fifth iteration of the International Manufacturing Strategy Survey (IMSS). The methodology involved the use of a self-administered questionnaire to director/head of operations/manufacturing in best practice firms within the sector of firms classified by ISIC codes (rev.3.1) Divisions 28-35. From this study, it emerges that adopting the GLOBE framework provides an invaluable insight into understanding quality management across countries. While some previous research portrays quality management as a comprehensive management paradigm with elements and relationships that transcend cultural and national boundaries, the current study provides evidence that the adoption of certain quality practices across different countries can follow distinctive patterns.

TL;DR: This study addresses how the authors' society co-evolves with the fourth industrial revolution by analyzing the transformation and adaptation mechanisms of the past industrial revolutions and suggests that good financial and educational investments promote qualified innovation ecosystems.
Abstract: A sense of stagnation has been spreading over globally, causing political frictions, discrimination, poverty, gender issues, economic disparity, and so on. It is important for the government, politicians, policymakers, and researchers to show positive visions for our society. There are, however, some signs of the future, such as the advent of the fourth industrial revolution. This study addresses how our society co-evolves with the fourth industrial revolution by analyzing the transformation and adaptation mechanisms of the past industrial revolutions. The applied method is social systems theory, which consists of world system and innovation system. Results show that the self-organizing systems of past industrial revolutions were generated by a strong desire, ideologies, and a national interest in overtaking hegemony. Nowadays, however, no single country has sufficient power to direct global leadership. Thus, in the era of the fourth industrial revolution, the world system tends to be multipolar in its approach to dealing with globalization and collective security. Regional powers will likely lead the fourth industrial revolution under each system. Conversely, this study suggests that good financial and educational investments promote qualified innovation ecosystems. Open science and education for technology will accelerate information technologies because they will cultivate capacity development among people who were unable to receive enough education. They are undeveloped for human capital. These will generate dynamic forces to stimulate self-organizing functions within the social system.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe the context within which this is taking place, including a brief introduction to innovations in a number of areas, before looking in particular at innovations involving intellectual property rights that blend law, policy and ethics.
Abstract: Because law, policy, and ethics are multiply intertwined, developments in any one of these areas can affect what happens in each of the others. Thus those interested in African information ethics will find it valuable to examine trends in law and policy – and those concerned about legal trends should acknowledge effective leadership when it comes from the direction of ethical practices. Though African societies are almost always pictured as receivers of social, informational, and technological innovations that come from other sources, today many Africans are providing global leadership by developing innovative techniques for approaching the problem of information access. This article describes the context within which this is taking place, including a brief introduction to innovations in a number of areas, before looking in particular at innovations involving intellectual property rights that blend law, policy, and ethics.

TL;DR: A model that is used to design and deliver leadership development programs around the world, called the competing values model, is a culturally neutral, non-normative framework that helps individual leaders understand the value of different leadership behaviors and when they might be applied.
Abstract: In this chapter, we describe a model that we use to design and deliver leadership development programs around the world. This model, called the competing values model (Quinn, 1988; Quinn & Rohrbaugh, 1983; Cameron & Quinn, 1999), is a culturally neutral, non-normative framework that helps individual leaders understand the value of different leadership behaviors and when they might be applied. First we present the model. Then we describe two global leadership development programs using the CVM.
