Abstract

Griffiths exposes the world's biggest and most sophisticated system of internet censorship. He describes how China did the impossible and built a controlled, warped version of the internet. Griffiths also explains how the vision of the web as a force for democracy and freedom failed, and the censors, far from retreating, are on the advance.

Abstract

Talent Management (TM) is an issue of critical importance for today's senior managers. Employers acknowledge that an engaged, skilled and motivated workforce is key to achieving growth and competitive advantage. Organizations are hiring TM officers and implementing TM strategies and programs to attract and retain the best employees. Yet many organizations still find it difficult to develop a coherent and successful TM approach. Academic research does not give much support in finding the right solutions: despite the enormous expansion of research on the topic, ambiguity about definitions and conceptual boundaries remains. Moreover, there is little knowledge about the nature of TM in practice and how it evolves over time. Talent Management in Practice offers an integrated and contextualized framework that addresses both the nature of TM in organizations and its ever-changing dynamics. The approach is based, on the one hand, upon lessons learned from previous empirical research on TM, and on the other hand, upon established theoretical frameworks from related academic fields. The result is a unique bridge between theory and TM in practice. This volume develops a model that can guide TM researchers in their future research, and since it is presented in an accessible and jargon-free format, it provides a touchstone for managers and practitioners as they implement and improve their TM approaches.

Abstract

In 1947, the Cold War came to Hollywood. Over 9 days in October 1947, the House Committee on Un-American Activities held a notorious round of hearings into alleged Communist subversion in Hollywood. The immediate blowback from the October hearings was profound and long-lived. On November 25, 1947, the major Hollywood studios pledged never again to employ a known Communist. The declaration marked the formal onset of the blacklist era, a two-decade-long purgatory during which political allegiances, real or suspected, determined employment opportunities in the entertainment industry. At the studios and the networks, hundreds of artists were shown the door or had it shut in their faces. Doherty tells the story of the first media-political spectacle of the postwar era, a courtroom drama starring actors, moguls, congressmen, lawyers, investigators, and screenwriters, all recorded under the lights of the newsreel cameras and broadcast over radio. After assuming increased cultural prominence during World War II, Doherty explains, 'the screen had become, in its maturity, integrated with the whole fabric of the national, and international affairs, with social, political and economic involvements,' leading to the centrality of Hollywood in Washington politics in the postwar era. Depicting this shift through testimonies and detailed public records, he provides a rich, character-driven cultural history that focuses on how and why the HUAC trial unfolded and ignited the anti-Communist strain in Cold War culture, serving as one of the most influential events of the postwar era.
