In the era of knowledge and innovation, management education cannot be education as it was in the past. This chapter aims to contribute to the topic “New Era in International Management Education”. From the specification of new paradigms of business for the modern era, and definitions of administration, the author raises relevant convergences that necessitate new management qualifications, and so therefore, new forms of administrative education. A central convergence that is included in this chapter is the convergence that the author promotes in Bio Gerencia Virtual®: convergence of information, people and their natural environments, technology and customer orientation. In several countries, the idea of a global context is a foreign one. In this chapter the emphasis is on the challenge to be solved – making “global” synonymous with oneself or close to the human condition, sustainable and influenced largely by culture. We cannot educate for global leadership, with patterns of fragmented thought, or without awareness of satisfying own needs that alter global balance.

More environmentally friendly aircraft designs, particularly with regard to noise, was a Technology for a Quieter America (TQA) workshop hosted by the National Academy of Engineering (NAE) held in May 2017. This workshop titled "Commercial Aviation: A New Era", centered on the importance of commercial aviation to the U.S. economy, and what it will take for the U.S. to maintain global leadership in the aviation sector, including a forward-looking topic on more environmentally friendly aircraft designs. A principal focus of the workshop was the necessary step-changes in aircraft engineering technology that must be addressed with the development and testing of flight demonstrators together with significantly increased funding of public-private partnerships. Government agencies which participated included NASA, the Federal Aviation Administration, and the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). There was also substantial participation from the aviation industry, airports, airlines, non-government organizations and academia.

This article discusses several enduring features of the digital world in relation to the dramatically changing global context and visibility of the human condition. Based on the author’s experience as an educator and researcher, she explains that interactivity, multi-modality, and information storage are ripe for advancing students’ creative and critical interactions with diverse others and themselves. With the digital world as a focal point, although by no means the only communication medium, educators are in unique positions to guide contemporary human development, which is increasingly an interdependent individual-societal process, thereby requiring knowledge of realities beyond one’s own.

The article is devoted to the topical problem of political and cultural transformations in the interaction between political power and its only source in democratic discourse, the people. This eternal problem of political science and policy is considered in chronological order in the global context and in today’s Ukraine. In traditional societies, there was a remote and alienated coexistence of state institutions and the masses. The exception was the democratic republics of ancient polises. The modern era generates a contractual theory of the origin of the state, which considers the institutions of power as the result of a social agreement between the sovereign people and the governors. In the modern era in the middle of the twentieth century, the concept of the welfare state was formed. In the postmodern era, unstable life forces citizens to behave in relation to state power, depending on the actualization of a particular guise of their own existence. Citizens are losing a clear, unambiguous idea of state power, its functions, place and role in society.

PurposeThis article investigates which criteria and processes are used to identify global leadership potential (GLP) in multinational corporations.Design/methodology/approachFirst, the literature at the intersection between leadership potential and global leadership is reviewed to identify a set of criteria that can be used for assessing GLP. The findings are then validated in a qualitative study against a sample of nine global corporations.FindingsSeveral traits (integrity and resilience), attitudes (learning orientation, motivation to lead, change orientation, drive for results, customer orientation and a global mindset) and competencies (cognitive complexity and intercultural, interpersonal, leadership, learning, change and business competencies) are associated with GLP. The core steps in the GLP identification process are nomination, assessment and confirmation. These steps can be complemented by a preassessment phase and a subsequent talent dialogue.Practical implicationsThe results of this research can inform human resource (HR) management practitioners in their endeavor to successfully identify and assess potential future global leaders.Originality/valuePrior research has focused either on defining global leadership or on assessing leadership potential in general, without a clear focus on identifying global leaders. In this article, the two concepts of global leadership and leadership potential are combined, thus providing an integrated content and process model that indicates how global corporations select their future global leaders.

A new generation far more attuned to Gotham’s resources took over the campaign’s management beginning in 1907, reconfiguring the relationship between suffrage and the cityscape. This chapter focuses on three leaders of the reconfigured movement—Maud Malone, Harriot Stanton Blatch, and Carrie Chapman Catt—and their efforts to recruit teachers by championing pay parity, and to rekindle elite women’s interest in the campaign. National leaders also increasingly recognized that Manhattan could enhance their organization’s prestige, profile, and treasury. In 1909, they unveiled lavish new headquarters on Fifth Avenue, convinced that the city’s dense newspaper industry could broadcast their message to the rest of the nation.

This article focuses on representations of the yoga body on social media, explaining what the female body in an asana pose stands for in consideration of the dichotomy between Foucault’s docile body controlled by the technology of power and Anita Seppä’s “aestheticization of the subject” as a means of resistance. While socio-technological changes have introduced a new context in the modern era, the dominance of seeing and visual culture has remained central in late-modern society. Through social media, we have entered a new era of constructing self-identity in relation to gender and the body. Looking into the relationship between asana practice and self-identity in postural yoga, I investigate the imaged bodies of yoginis that function under the control of power and as a technique for self-actualization. Drawing from a visual analysis of Instagram posts and interpreting the bodily practices of yoginis, I will search for what happened to modernity’s docile body in the context of this new media.

Is the Solar System unique, or are planets ubiquitous in the universe? The answer to this long-standing question implies the understanding of planet formation, but perhaps more relevant, the observational assessment of the existence of other worlds and their frequency in the galaxy. The detection of planets orbiting other suns has always been a challenging task. Fortunately, technological progress together with significant development in data reduction and analysis processes allowed astronomers to finally succeed. The methods used so far are mostly based on indirect approaches, able to detect the influence of the planets on the stellar motion (dynamical methods) or the planet’s shadow as it crosses the stellar disk (transit method). For a growing number of favorable cases, direct imaging has also been successful. The combination of different methods also allowed probing planet interiors, composition, temperature, atmospheres, and orbital architecture. Overall, one can confidently state that planets are common around solar-type stars, low mass planets being the most frequent among them. Despite all the progress, the discovery and characterization of temperate Earth-like worlds, similar to the Earth in both mass and composition and thus potential islands of life in the universe, is still a challenging task. Their low amplitude signals are difficult to detect and are often submerged by the noise produced by different instrumentation sources and astrophysical processes. However, the dawn of a new generation of ground and space-based instruments and missions is promising a new era in this domain.

Context. High-energy photons emitted by flaring active galactic nuclei (AGNs) have been used for many years to constrain modified dispersion relations in vacuum encountered in the context of quantum gravity phenomenology. In such studies, done in the GeV–TeV range, energy-dependent delays (spectral lags) are searched for, usually neglecting any source-intrinsic time delay. Aims. With the aim being to distinguish Lorentz invariance violation (LIV) effects from lags generated at the sources themselves, a detailed investigation into intrinsic spectral lags in flaring AGNs above 100 GeV is presented in the frame of synchrotron-self-Compton scenarios for their very-high-energy (VHE) emission. Methods. A simple model of VHE flares in blazars is proposed, allowing to explore the influence of the main physical parameters describing the emitting zones on intrinsic delays. Results. For typical conditions expected in TeV blazars, significant intrinsic lags are obtained, which can dominate over LIV effects, especially at low redshifts, and should therefore be carefully disentangled from any extrinsic lags. Moreover, two main regimes are identified with characteristic spectral lags, corresponding to long-lasting and fast particle acceleration. Conclusions. Such intrinsic spectral lags should be detected with new-generation instruments at VHE such as the Cherenkov Telescope Array which begins operation in a few years. This will provide original constraints on AGN flare models and open a new era for LIV searches in the photon sector.
