Abstract

Not all collaboration is smart. Make sure you do it right. Professional service firms face a serious challenge. Their clients increasingly need them to solve complex problems--everything from regulatory compliance to cybersecurity, the kinds of problems that only teams of multidisciplinary experts can tackle. Yet most firms have carved up their highly specialized, professional experts into narrowly defined practice areas, and collaborating across these silos is often messy, risky, and expensive. Unless you know why you're collaborating and how to do it effectively, it may not be smart at all. That's especially true for partners who have built their reputations and client rosters independently, not by working with peers. In Smart Collaboration, Heidi K. Gardner shows that firms earn higher margins, inspire greater client loyalty, attract and retain the best talent, and gain a competitive edge when specialists collaborate across functional boundaries. Gardner, a former McKinsey consultant and Harvard Business School professor now lecturing at Harvard Law School, has spent over a decade conducting in-depth studies of numerous global professional service firms. Her research with clients and the empirical results of her studies demonstrate clearly and convincingly that collaboration pays, for both professionals and their firms. But Gardner also offers powerful prescriptions for how leaders can foster collaboration, move to higher-margin work, increase client satisfaction, improve lateral hiring, decrease enterprise risk, engage workers to contribute their utmost, break down silos, and boost their bottom line. With case studies and real-world insights, Smart Collaboration delivers an authoritative case for the value of collaboration to today's professionals, their firms, and their clients and shows you exactly how to achieve it.

Abstract

The speakers of the 2015 edition of the Forum all showed a particular interest in interdisciplinary research and training. The representatives of translation industry, international and national entities and organisations, professional associations, trainers and researchers offered deep insights into their everyday work, displaying all the problems encountered and solutions found. One of the main themes was also the Silk Road Project and its multifaceted approaches ? linguistic, cultural and economic ? with all its drawbacks, pitfalls and challenges. In the section Transnational Private Public Partnerships the speakers stressed the importance of a global network of quality oriented partners. Interdisciplinary highlights were speakers from other disciplines who addressed in their speeches problems concerning world economy and science, which are of vital importance to all major actors.

Abstract

Translatology now recognizes that translators are not the only agents involved in the work of translation. Authors and reviewers have the opportunity to make suggestions and give instructions to the translator. Publishers retain a certain power over the final text and its presentation to the public. If we know that translations are often censored in totalitarian regimes, the effects of commercial interests in "free" societies are less well known. Inspired by the concept of "voice" to illuminate situations where multiple agents interact, this volume contributes tangibly to the understanding of the processes by which authors, editors, directors and critics can act on translation. These empirical studies reveal patterns of collaboration and negotiation as well as types of conflict in different historical and contemporary contexts. They pay particular attention to the multiple voices of theatrical translation. This book is the second volume of essays published in the wake of the Symposium on Audition and Editorial Voices, organized at the University of Copenhagen in 2011 by the International Research Group on Voice in Translation. Inspired by the concept of "voice" to illuminate situations where multiple agents interact, this volume contributes tangibly to understanding the processes and practices by which editors and editors can act on translation. These essays deal with modalities of revision in contexts of rewriting, rewriting, autobiography and colonialism, as well as publishers' practices on prefaces, formats, titles and marketing. Collaborators report on empirical research in historical and contemporary contexts involving a wide range of languages including German, English, Danish, Finnish, French, Indonesian, Italian, Swedish and the Turkish.

Abstract

For centuries, the art of translation has been misconstrued as a solitary affair. Yet, from Antiquity to the Middle Ages, groups of translators comprised of specialists of different languages formed in order to transport texts from one language and culture to another. Collaborative Translation uncovers the collaborative practices occluded in Renaissance theorizing of translation to which our individualist notions of translation are indebted. Leading translation scholars as well as professional translators have been invited here to detail their experiences of collaborative translation, as well as the fruits of their research into this neglected form of translation.This volume offers in-depth analysis of rich, sometimes explosive, relationships between authors and their translators. Their negotiations of cooperation and control, assistance and interference, are shown here to shape the translation of prominent modern authors such as Günter Grass, Vladimir Nabokov and Haruki Murakami.The advent of printing, the cultural institutions and the legal and political environment that regulate the production of translated texts have each formalized many of the inherently social and communicative practices of translation. Yet this publishing regime has been profoundly disrupted by the technologies that are currently revolutionizing collaborative translation techniques. This volume details the impact that this technological and environmental evolution is having upon the translator, proliferating sites and communities of collaboration, transforming traditional relationships with authors and editors, revisers, stage directors, actors and readers.
