These all have something in common. They provide great illustrations of the types of profound and wise changes needed in the way we run our affairs if we are to respond to the scale of environmental and social challenges and opportunities facing us. They are examples of "societal learning and change". Today, this phenomenon is occurring across industries as diverse as resources extraction, infrastructure development, agriculture and information technology at the local, national, regional and global levels. Its essence involves the ability to create rich relationships that bridge large differences. This book describes this phenomenon for practitioners to help them address issues and develop opportunities more effectively. Building on the traditions of individual and organizational learning, this book suggests that our challenge is to create learning societies and processes. This involves both change in ourselves as individuals, but also change in the way the three key systems that make up our societies - the political system (government), economic system (business) and social system (civil society) - function by creating more robust interactions that respond to human and environmental imperatives rather than organizational ones. Societal Learning and Change presents a meta-framework that covers diverse approaches, including corporate citizenship, social responsibility, community development, private-public partnerships, inter-sectoral collaboration and sustainability strategies. It makes sense of all of these by emphasising that they all share the need to change relationships at the societal level and explaining how to do this from a systems perspective. The book helps overcome the conundrum where individual organisations are unsuccessfully trying to achieve big change with their stakeholders. Rather than stakeholder management with an organization-centric viewpoint, this book describes the importance of taking a stakeholder engagement and issue/opportunity-centric strategy. Wherever you are, you can make a contribution to shifting the paradigm through a societal learning and change strategy. The critical contribution is creating new relationships between people and organizations that traditionally would not interact but in fact have common interests. When these relationships become meaningful by addressing a problem or developing an opportunity, people begin to learn about each other and develop mutual appreciation and understanding. Often this process is complicated and confusing. People do not use words in the same way even if they speak the same formal language; they do not learn or perceive the world the same way although they may share a common culture; their organizations have diverse goals, resources and weaknesses that make working together problematic. However, it is these very differences that are the source of the value of working together. Societal Learning and Change aims to make it easier to solve differences in order to work together successfully; it does this by identifying some of the differences as sources of tension and opportunity and describing the development processes of building relationships that can produce mutually rewarding innovation that is unimaginable when the relationship begins. This is an extremely optimistic book at a time of great pessimism about the huge forces of globalization and corporate power that seem to be overwhelming us. It will be essential reading for students and practitioners in the fields of organizational learning, sustainability, poverty, international development and stakeholder relations."--Provided by publisher. 606 $aSocial change 606 $aSocial systems 606 $aOrganizational learning 606 $aInternational relations 615 0$aSocial change. 615 0$aSocial systems. 615 0$aOrganizational learning. 615 0$aInternational relations. 676 $a303.4 686 $a43.34$2bcl 686 $aMS 1170$2rvk 700 $aWaddell$b Steve$0770138 801 0$bOCoLC-P 801 1$bOCoLC-P 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910779654203321 996 $aSocietal Learning and Change$93792399 997 $aUNINA LEADER 03474nam 2200661Ia 450 001 9910955184703321 005 20251117011928.0 010 $a1-317-12004-3 010 $a1-315-58743-2 010 $a1-317-12003-5 010 $a1-282-77408-5 010 $a9786612774089 010 $a1-4094-1051-X 035 $a(CKB)2670000000048390 035 $a(EBL)581317 035 $a(OCoLC)694729120 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000458607 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)12140537 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000458607 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10459459 035 $a(PQKB)11771595 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL581317 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr10411956 035 $a(CaONFJC)MIL277408 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC581317 035 $a(EXLCZ)992670000000048390 100 $a20100409d2010 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|n|---||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 00$aHuman identity at the intersection of science, technology, and religion /$fedited by Nancey Murphy and Christopher C.

The fast pace of developments in the latter two spheres (neuroscience, genetics, artificial intelligence, biomedical engineering) call for fresh reflections on what it means, now, to be human, and for theological and ethical judgments on how we might shape our own destiny in the future. The leading scholars in this book offer fresh contributions to the lively quest for an account of ourselves that does justice to current developments in theology, science, technology, and 410 0$aAshgate science and religion series. 606 $aHuman beings 606 $aReligion and science 606 $aTheological anthropology$xChristianity 615 0$aHuman beings. 615 0$aReligion and science. 615 0$aTheological anthropology$xChristianity. 676 $a202/.2 701 $aMurphy$b Nancey C$0550903 701 $aKnight$b Christopher C.$f1952-$01876662 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910955184703321 996 $aHuman identity at the intersection of science, technology, and religion$94488422 997 $aUNINA
