Stanley Levy and Charles Kozoll capture much of the complexity of decisionmaking and offer an important contribution to our understanding of this perplexing topic. The publication of A Guide to Decision Making in Student Affairs: A Case Study Approach, furthermore, is timely due to what Stage (1993) recognizes as an increasing expectation that "new professionals, even at the lowest levels, have the ability to work independently and solve complex issues knowledgeably and with skill and integrity" (p. iii). The case study approach combined with the expert advice of 15 seasoned student affairs deans (called informants) provides a valuable resource for learning about a central task in our profession. The book offers students as well as experienced professionals background information critical to decisionmaking in higher education, exploration of fundamental issues that influence the process, carefully constructed and relevant case studies, and a reservoir of advice from some of the most well respected senior-level practitioners in our field. This book is particularly valuable to faculty members facilitating learning with new professionals, but it is a resource most student affairs professionals would find well worth owning.

Education and career development of new generations of human factors professionals has rightly been a central concern the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society for many decades. There have been periodic surveys to track the changing employer expectations for new professionals, and there have been several panel discussion at the HFES Annual Meetings to address various issues in education of future professionals. There have been significant changes in academia, where many traditional disciplinary programs are declining and new interdisciplinary programs are emerging. These trends may present novel opportunities for education of the future human factors workforce. In this project we surveyed all courses in a university course catalog to identify courses that offer training, to varying degrees, in the Core Competencies as defined by the Board of Certification in Professional Ergonomics. These courses could form a basis for interdisciplinary programs in human factors without being confined in any particular department or existing program.

In this article, the authors argue that there is no such thing as the knowledge society. Like many others authors, they claim that the fundamental transformations of our time can be typified as the end of the national ‘industrial society’ and the move towards some kind of global society dominated by the production and use of knowledge. They argue, however, that these transformations not necessarily produce a convergence of national and regional socio-economic structures. In industrial society two types of knowledge were dominant: ‘technical knowledge’ and ‘social knowledge’. In our time, the growing diverseness of individual and group identities produced by reflexivisation, globalisation and the advancement of information technologies calls for the development and application of a new type of knowledge: ‘cultural knowledge’. They analyse the consequences of the increased significance of cultural knowledge in the economic sphere in terms of the division of labour, and subsequently conceptualise three different types of knowledge societies: ‘the techno-cultural’, ‘the socio-cultural’ and the ‘socio-technical knowledge society’. Finally, they will portray three ‘categories’ of trailblazers of the knowledge societies, new professionals that perform ‘meta business functions’. These trailblazers directly or indirectly create new value chains by linking or destroying existing ones, and breaking up others in to pieces in order to create new combinations. These professionals, in other words, actively manage value chains.

The profession of health education and health promotion involves a journey of discovery, where along the way, the student and new professional is uncovers many layers and nuances. One of the mysteries surrounding the profession is the participation in a professional meeting. Student and new professionals often perceive this to be challenging, overwhelming and fraught with roadblocks and barriers. While understanding perceptions of mystery from those entering the field about professional meetings, the best way to fully engage in the profession and to get the full effect and benefit of a professional health education meeting is through direct immersion and personal experience.

Until now, a statistical study had not been carried out on graduates who have a job within months of having completed their studies at the School of Political and Social Sciences of Ciudad Juarez. There is a diverse literature on the difficulties faced by people who finish university careers in Mexico, generally with a pessimistic approach. Private educational institutions state that almost all of their new professionals get a job, less than a year after finishing their studies. With this work, a first step is taken to later make more extensive and comparative studies with public and private universities on the reality faced by recent graduates. Through a statistical sample for population proportions, respondents were asked if they had a job of more than 30 hours a week, for three different periods, resulting in an average of 22.2 percent with an affirmative answer.

В работе рассматривается возможность формирования в банковском секторе среды, в которой сотрудники смогут самостоятельно реализовывать цифровые инициативы для развития компании и самообучения. Обоснована необходимость её наличия. Проведен анализ соответствия поставленной проблемы российским и мировым трендам на основе изучения федеральных программ и оценок рейтинговых агентств. В результате исследования разработан бизнес-процесс реализации цифровых инициатив, про-веден конкурентный анализ его преимуществ и недостатков перед традиционным подходом к обучению. The article discusses the possibility of forming in the banking business an environment in which employees will be able to in-dependently implement digital initiatives for the development of the company and self-learning. The necessity of its presence is grounded. The analysis of compliance of the problem with the trends in Russia and the world based on the study of Federal programs and ratings agencies. To attract new staff with the necessary knowledge, banks have a number of tools - business classes, sponsorship programs, mentoring, hackathons, man-agement fights, case-championships, etc. It has been revealed that new professionals with technical skills can solve complex problems and generate products. But it’s difficult for them to dive into the banking sector, study its features and offer their own solutions to problems. It was also revealed that the company is interested in product results that are practice oriented. Com-bining product results and training is only possible by creating an environment in which they can discuss their ideas, find sup-port and implement them. As a result, a business process for the implementation of digital initiatives has been formed, a competi-tive analysis of its advantages and disadvantages over the tradi-tional approach to training has been conducted. strategies. The leading method of research is the definitions according grouping to the principles of the matrix method. It was revealed that the economic security concept is disclosed using factors freely com-bined into three groups (includes: sustainability, protection of interests, ensuring sovereignty), and the most common definitions are built using words-markers: state, security, advantage, process. One of the main study results is an algorithm for constructing the definition of the economic security concept, which allows to model and refine the definition of the concept based on the initial categories, consider-ing the economic context. The author's definition is also formulated, which reflects the interrelation of such components as the protection of interests, the impact of threats, the stability preservation, inde-pendence, ensuring development, self-adaptation and self-reproduction.
