  • Anticultism in France: Scientology, Religious Freedom, and the Future of New and Minority Religions by Donald A. Westbrook

    Anticultism in France: Scientology, Religious Freedom, and the Future of New and Minority Religions

    Donald A. Westbrook

    This Element introduces readers to the problem of anticultism and antireligious movements in France. The first section offers an overview of anticultism in France, including the paradoxical place of modern French secularism (laïcité) that has shaped a culture prejudiced against minority religions and new religions (sectes or 'cults') and impacted Europe more broadly. This includes state-sponsored expressions, in particular MIVILUDES, an organization funded by the French government to monitor cultic or sectarian deviances. The second section takes up the case of the American-born Church of Scientology, tracing its history in the country since the late 1950s and how it has become a major focus of anticultists in France. The Element concludes with reflections on the future of new and minority religions in France. A timeline provides major dates in the history of anticultism in modern French history, with a focus on items of relevance to Scientology in France.

  • Blooming in the Ruins: How Mexican Philosophy Can Guide Toward the Good Life by Carlos Alberto Sánchez

    Blooming in the Ruins: How Mexican Philosophy Can Guide Toward the Good Life

    Carlos Alberto Sánchez

    This book showcases the practical applications of Mexican philosophy. Now, when we think of philosophy that can guide us in our everyday lives, we are more likely to think of Ancient Greece or Rome than we are 20th-century Mexico. But Mexican philosophy is a rich and wide-ranging tradition with much to offer readers today. Emerging in defiance of the Western philosophy bound up with colonial power, it boasts a range of powerful ideas and advice for modern-day life. A tradition deeply tied to Mexico's history of colonization, revolution, resistance, and persistence through hardship, this philosophy has much to teach us.

  • Intrapreneurship Management: Concepts, Methods, and Software for Managing Technological Innovation in Organizations by Oliver Yu

    Intrapreneurship Management: Concepts, Methods, and Software for Managing Technological Innovation in Organizations

    Oliver Yu

    Research has shown that the bulk of technological innovation comes through Intrapreneurship: innovation that takes place inside an existing organization, taking advantage of the institutional support and economies of scale provided by continuing enterprises. Intrapreneurship Management is an approach that cultivates these internal innovations and the knowledge workers who produce them. Our book offers a comprehensive guide to this approach, its challenges, and its rewards. Beginning with a simple yet flexible definition of innovation—an idea implemented with impact—it analyzes the processes and organizational tools by which novel ideas can be fostered, supported, and applied, producing industry-leading firms that maximize their internal talent. It also provides access and tools for using IntrapreneurshipREADINESSNavigator (IRN), a unique software already deployed successfully in over 150 innovation projects. The readers will also find: *Case studies of technological innovations within a range of organizations * A look forward to future challenges facing innovative organizations in the 21st century * Detailed treatment of subjects including innovation marketing, systematic creativity, and developing innovative organizational culture. The book is ideal for intrapreneurs, their managers, and any professionals working in industries driven by technological innovation, as well as researchers and students of innovation management.
