Interprofessional Education in Patient-Centered Medical Homes
by C. Scott Smith Winslow G. Gerrish William G. WeppnerThis book discusses the application of complex adaptive systems theory to the design and evaluation of patient-centered medical homes (PCMHs). The three defining goals of PCMHs are to spread patient-care roles among healthcare team members, focus on disease prevention and include the patient in the healthcare team. It explains why some PCMH pilots are highly successful while others do not show much benefit, covers specific sub-theories that allow for bracketing of different aspects of the clinic system and highlights strategies by which institutions can engage in this process. Inter professional Education in Patient-Centered Medical Homes is a valuable resource for faculty and managers of health professions teaching clinics, deans of medical and health professional schools and medical administrators.
Interprofessional Simulation in Health Care: Materiality, Embodiment, Interaction (Professional and Practice-based Learning #26)
by Madeleine Abrandt Dahlgren Hans Rystedt Li Felländer-Tsai Sofia NyströmThis book describes and discusses a practice-oriented approach to understanding and researching interprofessional simulation-based education and simulation. It provides empirical findings from research on this topic and is informed by practice-oriented perspectives. It identifies critical features of the simulation practice and discusses how these can be used in reforming simulation pedagogy. The book is divided into three sections. Section 1 sets the scene for understanding the practices of interprofessional simulation-based education and simulation. It provides a theoretical and methodological framework for the conceptualisation of practices and for the empirical studies on which the book is based. Section 2 revisits the dimensions of the simulation process/exercise, i.e. the briefing, simulation, and debriefing, and provides empirical analyses of how the practice of simulation unfolds. Based on these analyses, section 3 identifies and discusses how pedagogies for simulation can be reformed to meet the demands of future healthcare and research.

The Interrelationship Between Financial and Energy Markets
by Sofia Ramos Helena VeigaIn the last decade, energy markets have developed substantially due to the growing activity of financial investors. One consequence of this massive presence of investors is a stronger link between the hitherto segmented energy and financial markets. This book addresses some of the recent developments in the interrelationship between financial and energy markets. It aims to further the understanding of the rich interplay between financial and energy markets by presenting several empirical studies that illustrate and discuss some of the main issues on this agenda.
Interrogating Inclusive Growth: Poverty and Inequality in India
by K. P. KannanThe high growth performance of the Indian economy since the launch of economic reforms in the early 1990s has been much lauded. But how much of this growth has made its way to the poor? In a radical assessment of ‘inclusive growth’, this book probes the impact of neo-liberal policies on employment, poverty and inequality. It critiques the claim that market-friendly economic reform policies ‘trickle down’ to the poor and reduce poverty and deprivation. The author uses exhaustive data — from the formal and informal sectors — to create a profile of the aam aadmi. He advocates the need for a broad-based growth and development strategy that alone will address the many-sided social and economic inequalities in India. The volume will be useful to scholars and students of economics, development studies, labour studies, and sociology.
Interrogating Travel: Guidance from a Reluctant Tourist
by Paul LindholdtNever in human history has travel been so accessible to so many. But—amid an escalating climate crisis that threatens the homes of vulnerable people across the world—has the human cost of trekking the globe become too high? Paul Lindholdt links firsthand narratives with research about the travel trade, telling stories of his reluctant voyages while arguing that carbon-intensive trips abroad may be offset if adventurers come to know and love the landscapes closer to home. Tourism may be the planet’s largest industry, but Interrogating Travel advises readers to stay mindful of the consequences of their journeys, whether visiting local getaways or some of Earth’s most remote locations.
Intersecting Paths of Sustainable Development, Urbanization, and Women’s Empowerment: 22nd Annual Conference of Indian Association of Social Science Institutions (IASSI), CESS, Hyderabad, India, 2–4 November 2023 (Springer Proceedings in Business and Economics)
by E. Revathi Ishwar Chandra Awasthi B. Suresh Reddy Aditi MadanThis volume is a collection of 14 conference papers discussing India's development story around the three themes of sustainable development goals (SDGs), agricultural productivity and sustainability, and climate change - mitigation and adaptation. The contributions take cognizance of India's increasing growth rate over the past 10 years or so, leading to reduced extreme poverty; virtual elimination of absolute poverty in urban areas; and visible improvements in education, health, sanitation, infrastructure, and energy sectors. The volume unravels how despite the high and sustained economic growth rate achieved by India in the recent past, employment generation has been far from satisfactory. It looks at emerging concerns including rising inequalities, child under-nutrition, and environmental challenges, including the rising frequency of climate change-induced extreme weather events that threaten the progress towards sustainable development. The book discusses pressing societal challenges such as income inequality, climate change, and inclusive development. It presents research on social challenges exacerbated by globalization, emphasizing the need for resilience in diverse geographies as presented by India. The empirical research presented by the book provides pointers to the policymakers on the core issues of the conference.
The Intersection of Change Management and Lean Six Sigma: The Basics for Black Belts and Change Agents
by Randy K. Kesterson"Randy has crafted an invaluable book, no matter where you are in the journey of organizational change management. A must-have guide you will refer to again and again." – Marshall Goldsmith, author of the #1 New York Times bestseller, Triggers. "Randy Kesterson recognizes that much of the energy that organizations put into Lean and Six Sigma improvements is wasted when the results are not applied effectively due to the organization’s resistance to change." – Ellen Domb, Ph.D. PQR, one of the world’s top 50 quality experts at QualityGurus.com "Finally, a book that recognizes that most organizations are on the left side of the FAT–LEAN continuum. Far too many organizations think they are Lean/Six Sigma mature only to realize that they aren’t even close." – Gerhard Plenert, Ph.D., serves as Director of Executive Education, Shingo Institute, Home of the Shingo Prize The Intersection of Change Management and Lean Six Sigma: The Basics for Black Belts and Change Agents is for Lean and Six Sigma professionals working inside organizations with low Lean maturity and significant resistance to change. Written by a business executive and certified Lean Six Sigma black belt, this book: Provides sound, innovative practices for those interested in successfully navigating organizational change.

The Intersection of Economics and Ecology: A Machine-generated Literature Overview
by Gurudas NulkarThis book is a machine-generated literature overview highlighting the importance of natural capital while studying the economics of ecology. It puts together available literature on this theme exploring it through the lens of sustainable development. While the main content is machine-generated, each chapter contains curated published content overview and an introduction by the editor, highlighting important areas and literature gaps, describing the connection of the topic with human economy, and examples of negative externalities. The topics seek out research articles that show a connection with mainstream economy, or rural livelihoods.The connection between natural capital and human economy, is well-known, but many of these negative externalities are complex problems to solve. While there is a growing awareness to capture the value of natural capital in economic decision-making, there is no universal consensus. However, assessing the economic value of naturalresources and ecosystem services, and integrating this information into decision-making processes such as cost-benefit analysis, corporate reporting, and government policy-making, holds a promise of finding long-term solutions to these market failures. By valuing natural capital, decision-makers can better understand the economic benefits and costs of different activities and policies, and make more informed choices that balance economic, social, and environmental objectives. Containing important introductions by the human editor to plug gaps in literature, the book is a great resource for policy-makers, students of economics and sustainable development, non-governmental organisations working in this field, and corporate managers who are responsible for allotting budgets towards corporate social responsibility programs.^
The Intersection of Global Energy Politics and Climate Change: A Comprehensive Analysis of Energy Markets and Economics (Advances in Geographical and Environmental Sciences)
by Pardeep Singh Bendangwapang AoThis book provides an analysis of the concurrence of energy politics and global climate change. The book starts with an explanation of what roles energy and climate change play in the correlation process and the anthropogenic activities that hamper the smooth functioning of their co-existence. The next part discusses the institutions and industries directly related to energy and climate change. The third part focuses on energy economics and markets to understand the global drivers for economic development. After that, the book presents the world's energy demand due to globalization and the environmental cost involved, followed by the part highlighting the importance of energy transitions and the extent to which the global political set-up is engaged in catering to those transitions. The sixth part of the book takes a comprehensive view of climate change mitigation strategies and carbon and ecological footprints, followed by discussions of future scenarios for building a sustainable framework and forecasts of the resulting political and economic trends. Finally, the last part deals with the challenges faced during the convergence of energy politics and climate change. The book is a valuable resource for early career researchers, university teachers, and professionals in think tanks.
The Intersection of Rights and Regulation: New Directions in Sociolegal Scholarship (Markets And The Law Ser.)
by Bronwen MorganPolicy makers and social actors increasingly face inter-related and inter-penetrated levels and realms of governance. The effect is that some of the intuitive contrasts between rights and regulation are no longer tenable. As the essays collected in this volume show, different combinations of rights and regulatory claims serve as barometers of current changes in political economy. These are not only restructuring political space, but also changing the assumed relevance of rights and regulation. Bringing together a range of fresh perspectives on socio-legal scholarship from a variety of disciplines, The Intersection of Rights and Regulations will have worldwide interdisciplinary appeal.
The Intersection--Your Best Chance to Innovate: Monkeys and Mind Readers
by Frans JohanssonIf you deliberately step into an intersection of fields, disciplines, or cultures-a phenomenon Johannson calls "the Medici Effect"-you drastically increase the chances of innovating. This chapter illustrates the power of intersectional ideas through the story of a research team at Brown University including mathematicians, medical doctors, neuroscientists, and computer scientists that conducted a remarkable experiment in which a rhesus monkey was taught to play a computer game using only its mind to control the cursor.
Intersectionality and Creative Business Education: Inclusive and Diverse Cultures in Pedagogy
by Bhabani Shankar NayakCreative Business Education is emerging rapidly to address the needs of the creative industries including digital media, journalism, advertisement, music, marketing, films, fashion and sports business etc. Inclusive educational praxis, decolonial knowledge traditions and diverse curriculums are central to egalitarian economic development and human empowerment. As such, this edited volume explores how creative business education specifically can help to build a more diverse and inclusive environment for an increasingly diverse body of students and faculty. It discusses how students can be encouraged to succeed and excel, reflecting on the need for academic pedagogies to embrace greater inclusivity for diverse cultures. Advancing different theoretical trends within intersectionality and the limits of its praxis, contributors deal with different forms of inequalities based on class, gender, race, religion and belief, sexual orientation, and disabilities in teaching and learning. It is important to articulate and outline the critical lineages of intersectionality within creative business education and its progressive potentials for pedagogical transformation.
Intersectionality and Crisis Management: A Path to Social Equity (Routledge Focus on Issues in Global Talent Management)
by Hillary J. Knepper Michelle D. Evans Tiffany J. HenleyIntersectionality and Crisis Management: A Path to Social Equity aims to embed the social equity discourse into crisis management while exploring the potential of a new tool, the Integrative Crisis Management Model. Leaders and managers navigate a complex and networked environment of policy-making and action, frequently occurring in real time, under constant media exposure. The pervasive availability of this news on all platforms and devices produces a lingering anxiety about the inevitability of danger. Consequently, crisis affords a time-sensitive exploration of management practices and sheds a critical spotlight on deficiencies that may yield novel approaches to doing business. As the book engages contributing authors who are foremost in their field, it also includes practitioners, students, and junior scholars in a creative new discourse about equity. Bringing these diverse voices together in one volume presents a unique opportunity to generate new insights. Intersectionality provides a framework for understanding how categorizations of people drive social constructs of discrimination and oppression. Each chapter covers a different subject – exploring intersectionality in healthcare, nonprofit management, and human resources – and is accompanied by discussion questions. The book provides something for the classroom, for practitioners, and for scholars who want to include more intersectional thinking into their work.

Intersectionality and Discrimination: An Examination of the U.S. Labor Market
by Roger WhiteIn 1989, Kimberlé Crenshaw coined the term “intersectionality” to describe the interdependent and overlapping systems of discrimination and disadvantage that result from the interconnected nature of social categorizations. These categories include, but are not limited to, disability, gender identity, nationality, race, and socioeconomic class. In recent years, we have witnessed increased societal interest in the notion of equal economic, political, and social rights. This has commonly manifested in a desire for equality of opportunity (i.e., social justice). This book applies an intersectional approach to examine a specific facet of inequality – namely, the presence and magnitude of wage discrimination in the U.S. labor market. This book accomplishes several objectives. It introduces intersectional analysis for readers who are unfamiliar with the topic. The book identifies intersectional wage discrimination for a large number of worker groups that are defined by multiple intersecting identities (i.e., the personal characteristics of Hispanic ethnicity, nativity, race, and sex). It also documents variation in wage differentials both between worker groups (i.e., contemporaneously) and within groups (i.e., intertemporally). Finally, given the policy relevance of our topic, it is fitting that the final chapter is devoted to corresponding conclusions.
Intersectionality, Class and Migration: Narratives of Iranian Women Migrants in the U.K. (The Politics of Intersectionality)
by Mastoureh FathiThis book offers critical analysis of everyday narratives of Iranian middle class migrants who use their social class and careers to "fit in" with British society. Based on a series of interviews and participant observations with two cohorts of "privileged" Iranian migrant women working as doctors, dentists and academics in Britain--groups that are usually absent from studies around migration, marginality and intersectionality--the book applies narrative analysis and intersectionality to critically analyse social class in relation to gender, ethnicity, places and sense of belonging in Britain. As concepts such as "Nation," "Migrant," "Native," "Other," "Security," and "Border" have populated public and policy discourse, it is vital to explore migrants' experiences and perceptions of the society in which they live, to answer deceptively simple questions such as "What does class mean?" and "How is class translated in the lives of migrants?"
Intersections Between Corporate and Antitrust Law (Global Competition Law and Economics Policy)
by Marco Corradi Julian NowagRecent public debate on common ownership by institutional investors has brought awareness to one of the many intersections between the corporate and antitrust worlds. But the interplay between these two fields dates back to the dawn of US antitrust. This volume shines a light on the often underplayed and misunderstood connections between antitrust and corporate law and finance. It offers a multi-disciplinary perspective on highly trending issues, such as parallel equity holdings, interlocking directorships, the anticompetitive effects of certain corporate governance arrangements, and the relationships between ESG and not-for profit activities with antitrust law. This edited collection brings together leading experts from across the US, Europe, and Asia and provides a cross-border perspective on alternative policy approaches for the field.
Intersections of Tourism, Migration, and Exile
by Natalia Bloch Kathleen M. AdamsThis book challenges the classic – and often tacit – compartmentalization of tourism, migration, and refugee studies by exploring the intersections of these forms of spatial mobility: each prompts distinctive images and moral reactions, yet they often intertwine, overlap, and influence one another. Tourism, migration, and exile evoke widely varying policies, diverse popular reactions, and contrasting imagery. What are the ramifications of these siloed conceptions for people on the move? To what extent do gender, class, ethnic, and racial global inequalities shape moral discourses surrounding people’s movements? This book presents 12 predominantly ethnographic case studies from around the world, and a pandemic-focused conclusion, that address these issues. In recounting and juxtaposing stories of refugees’ and migrants’ returns, marriage migrants, voluntourists, migrant retirees, migrant tourism workers and entrepreneurs, mobile investors and professionals, and refugees pursuing educational mobility, this book cultivates more nuanced insights into intersecting forms of mobility. Ultimately, this work promises to foster not only empathy but also greater resolve for forging trails toward mobility justice. This accessibly written volume will be essential to scholars and students in critical migration, tourism, and refugee studies, including anthropologists, sociologists, human geographers, and researchers in political science and cultural studies. The book will also be of interest to non-academic professionals and general readers interested in contemporary mobilities.
Intersektorale Versorgung: Best Practices – erfolgreiche Versorgungslösungen mit Zukunftspotenzial
by Ursula Hahn Clarissa KurscheidDas deutsche Gesundheitswesen ist ein sehr komplexes und hoch reguliertes Gebilde, geprägt durch eine historisch bedingte Sektorentrennung, eine staatsmittelbare Selbstverwaltung mit immer neuen Regulationen und Gesetzesreformen in zunehmend kürzeren Rhythmen. Zugleich zeichnet sich der erste Gesundheitsmarkt durch eine deutliche Geschlossenheit gegenüber Innovationen aus. Es ist einerseits schwierig, Neuerungen und sektorenübergreifende Versorgungsansätze zu implementieren, andererseits schaffen es viele gute Ideen und erfolgreiche Projekte nicht in die Regelversorgung. Doch knappe finanzielle Ressourcen, die demographische Entwicklung, die wachsenden medizinisch-technischen und digitalen Möglichkeiten sowie die interfachliche und interdisziplinäre Arbeitsteilung fordern geradezu neue intersektorale Ansätze. Tatsächlich gibt es trotz der Hürden gute und funktionierende intersektorale Lösungen. In diesem Herausgeberwerk werden knapp dreißig Best-Practice-Beispiele vorgestellt: Akteure ganz unterschiedlicher Provenienz berichten über ihre Lösungen, die von Kooperation verschiedener selbständiger Akteure bis Integration aller Versorgungsebenen unter einem Dach reichen. Dabei orientieren sie sich an Gütekriterien, wie z.B. Qualität der Patientenversorgung, Effizienzpotenziale, Skalierbarkeit oder Anforderungen an einen notwendigen Strukturwandel. Die Erfahrungen dieser Best-Practice-Beispiele können und sollen für die Weiterentwicklung einer modernen und patientenorientierten intersektoralen Versorgung nutzbar gemacht werden.

InterSoft of Argentina (B)
by Linda A. Hill Stacy PalestrantFocuses on InterSoft of Argentina, a growing software company in Argentina. In 1993, InterSoft acquires a Russian software company and Emilo Lopez, the vice president and director of InterSoft's Systems Software Lab, must manage a creative, cross-cultural, "virtual" team. This case reveals a quarrel that arises over e-mail between an Argentine programmer and a Russian programmer. Lopez, as the manager of the development team, must decide how to handle the situation. Since the exchanges between these programmers were preserved in e-mail files, this case provides a unique opportunity to analyze a conflict situation as it escalates.

Intersubjectivity in Economics: Agents and Structures (Economics as Social Theory)
by Edward FullbrookTraditional economics treats the defining subjective properties of economic agents (tastes, preferences, demands, goals and perceptions) as if they are determined independently of individual and collective relations with other agents. This collection of essays reflects the increasingly common view that economics cannot continue to disregard all economic phenomena inconsistent with this conception.The volume is especially concerned with the idea of intersubjective influences on market outcomes. A team of expert international contributors have been brought together to address the question of intersubjectivity from a variety of perspectives. Using methods of description and analysis they explore the structures and effects of concrete interdependencies between individual subjectivities engaged in economic activity, and develop conceptual and analytical tools for this task. Many of the essays are interdisciplinary in scope and in addition to economics the book should provide valuable lessons in psychology, sociology, social theory, philosophy, political science and history.
Intertemporal and Strategic Modelling in Economics: Dynamics and Games for Economic Analysis (Lecture Notes in Economics and Mathematical Systems #693)
by Orlando GomesThis textbook introduces readers to essential tools, techniques and methods for intertemporal and strategic modeling in economics. It presents a variety of analytical models covering both dynamic processes and strategic interaction. Students will learn the basic mechanisms associated with the intertemporal approach, on the one hand, and game theory, i.e., the strategic approach, on the other. In addition, a wide range of applications are explored, including growth models, labor markets, international trade, and individual decision-making. Intended for upper undergraduate and graduate students in economics and related fields with a background in mathematics and calculus, this textbook provides a comprehensive introduction to economic modeling and its applications. By avoiding excessive formalism and exploring straightforward examples and applications, it is optimally suited for graduate courses in economics and finance.
