The Forgotten Reign of the Emperor Jovian (363-364) - Jan Willem Drijvers - Bog - Oxford University Press Inc - Plusbog.dk

The Forgotten Reign of the Emperor Jovian (363-364) - Jan Willem Drijvers - Bog - Oxford University Press Inc - Plusbog.dk

The Forgotten Reign of the Emperor Jovian (363-364): History and Fiction offers a new assessment of the Roman emperor''s brief rule. A former imperial bodyguard, Jovian reinvigorated the Roman Empire militarily, administratively, and religiously. More than an imperial footnote, the years 363-364 restored the Roman empire after the failed reign of Julian. Jovian returned to the policies of Constantius II and Constantine the Great and his political legacy continued to endure with his successors Valentinian I and Valens, especially in the realm of religion. Jan Willem Drijvers'' newest edition tracks the intricacies of Jovian''s election, offers a novel evaluation of his peace agreement with Shapur II, and examines Jovian''s self-representation. For an emperor who ruled only eight months, Jovian had an unexpected and surprising afterlife. In the rarely studied and largely unknown historical fiction piece The Julian Romance, Jovian is presented as the ideal Christian emperor and a new Constantine. In comparison with other sources, the Syriac Romance also offers a surprising and different perspective on his personal associations and reign.The Forgotten Reign challenges readers to rethink Jovian''s reign and other imperial figures largely forgotten by history. Ultimately, the book reveals the legacy of Jovian''s role in Roman-Persian relations and the positioning of Edessa in the late antique world of Christendom.

Becoming Hewlett Packard - Robert A. (edmund W. Littlefield Professor Of Management Burgelman - Bog - Oxford University Press Inc - Plusbog.dk

Bill Hewlett and Dave Packard invented the model of the Silicon Valley start-up and set in motion a process of corporate becoming that made it possible for HP to transform itself six times over the 77 years since its founding in the face of sweeping technological changes that felled most of its competitors over the years. Today, HP is in the throes of a seventh transformation to secure its continued survival by splitting in two independent companies: HP Inc. and Hewlett Packard Enterprise. Based on extensive primary research conducted over more than 15 years, this book documents the differential contribution of HP''s successive CEOs in sustaining the company''s integral process of becoming. It uses a comprehensive strategic leadership framework to examine and explain the role of the CEO: (1) defining and executing the key tasks of strategic leadership, and (2) developing four key elements of the company''s strategic leadership capability. The study of the strategic leadership of HP''s successive CEOs revealed the paradox of corporate becoming, the existential situation facing successive CEOs (that justifies the book''s empathic approach), and the importance of the CEO''s ability to harness the company''s past while also driving its future. Building on these novel insights, the book shows how the frameworks used to conceptualize the tasks of strategic leadership and the development of strategic leadership capability can serve as steps toward a dynamic theory of strategic leadership that animates an evolutionary framework of corporate becoming. This framework will be helpful for further theory development about strategic leadership and also offers practical tools for founders of new companies and CEOs and boards of directors of existing companies who intend to create, run or oversee companies built for continued relevance, longevity and greatness.
