Decolonising the Future Academy in Africa and Beyond
What does it mean to decolonise academia in Africa? Is this important project limited to the humanities? Is it a project for the future? Are there forerunners at African universities today? The contributors to this volume show different trajectories for anthropology as a discipline and for decolonising academia across the continent and beyond. They offer a variety of perspectives, especially regarding collaboration between African and German scholars in the areas of research, teaching and institutional development: While some are hopeful and take inspiration from earlier experiences of disciplinary and methodological developments in academic decolonisation and international collaborations, others remain critical and call for more radical attempts at decolonisation.

Your Best Meeting Ever
"Everyone wants better meetings, but no one seems to know how--until now." --Reid Hoffman, New York Times bestselling author and cofounder of LinkedIn "Warning: This read may save you countless hours." --Adam Grant, #1 New York Times bestselling author and host of the podcast Re: Thinking From Rebecca Hinds, PhD--organizational expert who has helped Fortune 500 companies fix their fractured collaboration--comes a bold, battle-tested blueprint for tackling the workplace's biggest time-wasters: meetings. Meetings are broken. They are relics from a bygone era of top-down hierarchies and factory-like procedures--designed to issue orders, flaunt power, and keep the hierarchy intact. In today's digital, collaborate-or-bust era, this model isn't just inefficient, it actively harms employees and organizations. Drawing on decades of research and stories from leading companies like Google, Salesforce, Pixar, YouTube, and Dropbox, Your Best Meeting Ever provides a blueprint to transform your meetings from monotonous, soul-crushing time sinks into powerful tools for collaboration. The secret? Treat them like products. Using seven product design principles, you'll turn your meetings into well-designed products that actually drive work forward and serve your most important users--the people in your organization. You'll learn: - Why every organization needs a "Meeting Doomsday" to reset collaboration, and how to strategically orchestrate one at your company. - How to fix your communication system so meetings are a last resort, not a knee-jerk default. - Which meeting metrics matter--and which do more harm than good. - How to inject moments of delight into your meetings so people genuinely want to show up. - When to integrate technology into your meetings so you enhance collaboration, rather than detract from it. More than just a practical guide, Your Best Meeting Ever is a rallying call to rethink how we collaborate in the modern workplace. Whether you're a leader or an individual contributor, this powerful book will nudge you to be audacious--to challenge the existing norms and embrace new paradigms--so you'll never dread another meeting again.
Organisational Behaviour, Communication, and Digitalisation in a Changing World
This book brings together leading scholars and practitioners in organizational behaviour and communication to explore the complex relationship between employees and their organisations and the associated workplace outcomes. This comprehensive volume provides insights, theories, and practical strategies to understand and address the multifaceted nature of organisational dynamics in the face of constant and accelerated change. The first section of the book delves into the theoretical foundations of organisational behaviour. Some of the contributors in this section offer a comprehensive analysis of the socio-cultural and psychological aspects that influence individual behaviour within organisations. Building upon this foundation, the subsequent sections of the book examine various dimensions of organisational behaviour, including leadership, teamwork, diversity, and conflict resolution. One of the focuses of this edited volume is the examination of emerging technologies and their effects on the operation of organisations. Hence, some of the chapters examine the management of employee-organisations using digital platforms and explore employee engagement, collaboration, the effect of organisational support, supervisor support, or lack thereof.
