        Der Einfall der Geister

        Roman | Ein Meisterwerk Schwarzen Erzählens

        by Randall Kenan, Eva Bonné, Aminata Cissé

        Die Schuld austreiben, das ist der Plan, als Horace in einer Frühlingsnacht in den Garten seines Großvaters hinaustritt. Ein Ritual soll Horace befreien. Von den Erwartungen, die seine Familie an ihn und seine Begabung stellt, von den rasenden Gedanken, vom Begehren, das ihn Mitte der Achtziger in dieser Schwarzen Baptistengemeinde im Süden alles kosten kann. Doch die Befreiung missglückt, und Horace, getrieben von den erlittenen Ungerechtigkeiten aus Hunderten von Jahren, irrt gefährlich durch die Nacht. Bis ein anderer Mann aus seiner Familie, am Glauben verzweifelt wie er, dem berechtigten Wahnsinn Einhalt gebieten will … Entdeckt von Toni Morrison, als sein Jünger mit James Baldwins Nachlass betraut, so stand Randall Kenan 1989 nach Erscheinen seines Romans an der Spitze der nachfolgenden Generation, einsam und zu früh. Mehr als dreißig Jahre mussten vergehen, damit Der Einfall der Geister international gefeiert werden kann, als ein Meisterwerk Schwarzen Erzählens, über die Gefahren der Erlösung, über Wünsche, die an Grenzen stoßen.

        Rural SME Business Management

        The Human Factor

        by Peter L Nuthall

        This book is about managerial ability and how it might be assessed and improved, and it focuses on rural Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs). Traditionally, business studies have seldom covered the manager as a person and a decision maker in any great depth. Personnel management, production economics, financing, operations analysis techniques, etc. tend to be emphasized but the personal attributes of the decision makers have as much influence on success as the rules of good decision making. This book aims to correct this imbalance. The human characteristics of managers that define how a manager operates are explored, as are their impact on managerial ability. The details of the competencies a manager must possess are also presented and discussed as well as potential detracting biases. The book concludes with methods and techniques covering personal characteristic changes and associated managerial improvement. The concepts and conclusions of this book are all based on a body of research, excerpts of which are quoted in the text, drawn from the rich sources available in the international literature. Case studies describing successful managers and management advisors are used throughout. · First book which specifically focuses on human factors and decision making for SME managers. · Introduces new research specifically on the quantification of intuition, the primary decision making method used in SMEs. · Contains essential material required by researchers of decision making processes, business studies teachers, and extension workers from the world of SME business.

This book provides a comprehensive and exhaustive overview of how the method can be used by therapists in psychotherapeutic settings in mental health care, business coaches and coaches in other fields of life. As well as providing an extremely precise description of the working method for each step of the protocol, all these steps are clarified by means of practical examples and case studies.
