Professions exist to serve the needs of society, communities and, in the case of the dental profession, patients.  Academic dental institutions strive to help meet these needs by educating and developing future practitioners, educators, researchers, and citizen leaders who serve the community and shape the changing environment in which they practice and provide care. The American Dental Association Commission on Change and Innovation affirms, “If dental educators are to meet these purposes, change and innovation in dental education must be responsive to evolving societal needs, practice patterns, scientific developments, and economic conditions”(Haden, et al., 2006). Guiding any institution through such authentic reform requires a number of strategies. Lee Bolman and Terrance Deal suggest four organizational constructs, or frames, through which to view a complex organization:  Structural, Human Resource, Political and Symbolic (Bolman and Deal, 1997).“Like maps, frames are both windows on a territory and tools for navigation” (Bolman and Deal, 1997). This reflective case study examines a major curricular reform initiative in a North American school of dentistry through Bolman and Deal’s organizational frames.

Management Case Study

This is a Human Resource Management (HRM) case used to encourage student thought and discussion following a class segment on recruiting.  Midwest Education, Inc.: A Human Resource Management Case is used to exemplify many of the human resource problems encountered in a typical complex organization.  It provides history and background of the company, Midwest Education, Inc. (which is closely modeled after a major developer and supplier of educational materials).  The case presents the three major divisions of the company and shows how each is following a different strategy.  With this background, the case presents the current problems which arise as the company seeks to change from ad hoc recruiting practices to a planned, strategically aligned process.  As the case develops, it is seen that corporate headquarters is challenging the HR directors of each of the operating divisions to address recruiting issues through a systematic approach.  Readers are challenged to determine what issues are most pressing during the recruiting process, and to develop comprehensive recruiting plans for the divisions.

Purpose This paper aims to review the latest management developments across the globe and pinpoint practical implications from cutting-edge research and case studies. Design/methodology/approach This briefing is prepared by an independent writer who adds their own impartial comments and places the articles in context. Findings The article “Multi-level strategic alignment within a complex organisation” by Laurie et al. (2016) provides an in-depth look at how a large, complex organization was able to implement the balanced scorecard in multiple levels and phases. Such a case study can teach business change managers a good deal about the theoretical as well as the practical considerations of such an implementation, particularly in the context of the Middle East. Practical implications The paper provides strategic insights and practical thinking that have influenced some of the world’s leading organizations. Originality/value The briefing saves busy executives and researchers hours of reading time by selecting only the very best, most pertinent information and presenting it in a condensed and easy-to-digest format.

Technology Policies

Continuing attempts to align science and technology policies with industrial and societal needs have aroused interest in the determination of research priorities. In this paper, we report a case study where leading experts from industry and public administration were assisted by multicriteria decision analysis in the planning of a collaborative research program for Scandinavian forestry and forest industries. We also address processual and methodological challenges in the deployment of multicriteria methods, and argue that such methods can contribute to the quality of decision support processes in related contexts.

Swiss Plateau

Societal needs for forest products and services are plentiful. In this article, I present six different ap proaches to prioritize those needs. If societal welfare is to be optimized,forest planning has to account for those needs. A typical region of the Swiss plateau was chosen as case study area:the region around Greifensee, close to Zurich. Most prioritization approaches show, that today, the most important needs in this region are recreation and ecological aspects. Timber production is secondary.
