More than 40 references accompany this work, combining original treaties, empirical work, and media reports. All the references were extracted from scholarly databases. The taxonomy is organized in four categories: Foundational, traditional, current, and emerging global, and emerging e-commerce theories. Each table includes a description of the theory, current examples of practice or empirical applications and other significant attributes.","PeriodicalId":176783,"journal":{"name":"Models of Leadership eJournal","volume":"101 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-03-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132857952","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
{"title":"New Dimensions of Leadership Toward a Dynamic Model: A Synthesis of Transformational and Servant Leadership","authors":"B. T. Lowder","doi":"10.2139/ssrn.1016587","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.2139/ssrn.1016587","url":null,"abstract":"This paper addresses the various leadership styles, attributes, skills, and behaviors that are representative of an effective leader. Within the construct of this paper, transformational and servant leadership models are first analyzed and evaluated. The transformational and servant leadership models were chosen because of their interrelated styles, attributes, skills and behaviors which are thoroughly addressed in this paper. Then an optimal mix of leadership styles, attributes, skills, and behaviors are established. This optimal mix of leadership styles, attributes, skills, and behaviors are then synthesized within a five-dimensional construct which was developed by the author to create a Dynamic Leadership Model (DLM). A thorough understanding of the DLM enhances a leader's capability to establish, implement, and control organizational change strategies in a cultural-cognitive institutional environment.","PeriodicalId":176783,"journal":{"name":"Models of Leadership eJournal","volume":"65 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-09-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123184924","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
{"title":"Projecting Imagination: Creative Tales of Global and Corporate Futures","authors":"D. Mckie, Tom Cockburn","doi":"10.2139/ssrn.3049305","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.2139/ssrn.3049305","url":null,"abstract":"In considering future visions and public relations, we position such speculations as imaginative art rather than exact science and move away from dominant approaches in two key literatures. Firstly, in relation to leadership literature, while acknowledging the contribution it has made to the importance of future vision, we distance ourselves from the view that such projections are the restricted domain of leadership. Instead we show how they matter to public relations by extending Rost’s conceptualization of a divide between twentieth and twenty-first century paradigms to support the usefulness of scenarios in preparing for change in uncertain and turbulent times. Secondly, in relation to public relations education, we move away from the more quantitative and business-as-usual US style forecasts for the 21st Century. In making these departures we draw from other futurist writings, especially scenario theory and practice, to contend that public relations, both as a practice and as a body of theory, needs to be more knowledgeable about, and more involved in, existing projections. We conclude by recommending that scenarios become an accepted part of preparing public relations for the nonlinear, complexity of business-as-unusual future predictions not addressed in the field’s current thinking.","PeriodicalId":176783,"journal":{"name":"Models of Leadership eJournal","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131186572","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
