A business continuity management system (BCMS) is a management framework that prepares the organization by developing business continuity strategies to meet its business and statutory obligations during an incident. It is about optimizing service availability and preserving business performance to secure future growth in the market. Business Continuity Management System offers a complete guide to establishing a fit-for-purpose business continuity capability in your organization. Structured in line with the principles of ISO22301 (the International Standard for business continuity management) and with current best practice, this user-friendly book covers the whole life cycle of developing, establishing, operating and evaluating a BCMS initiative. It is aimed at new and seasoned business continuity practitioners involved in business continuity activities in their organizations, whatever the size and sector. It includes proven techniques and easy-to-use methodologies that specifically support the implementation of those requirements specified in ISO 22301. Pragmatic approaches supported by in-depth explanations guide you to assess and improve your organization's BCMS performance. This is the first book to offer an end-to-end solution that addresses all aspects of implementing an effective BCMS. Business Continuity Management System is intended to act as a catalyst to accelerate progress on the journey from business continuity management and risk management to the creation and implementation of a business continuity management system, both by enhancing the BCM and risk competence of individual readers and by contributing to shared knowledge in implementing ISO 22301 in organizations.

Theory of Conditional Games (Paperback): Wynn C Stirling Theory of Conditional Games (Paperback)
Wynn C Stirling
R1,409 Discovery Miles 14 090 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Game theory explains how to make good choices when different decision makers have conflicting interests. The classical approach assumes that decision makers are committed to making the best choices for themselves regardless of the effect on others, but such an approach is less appropriate when cooperation, compromise and negotiation are important. This book describes conditional games, a form of game theory that accommodates multiple stakeholder decision-making scenarios where cooperation and negotiation are significant issues and where notions of concordant group behavior are important. Using classical binary preference relations as a point of departure, the book extends the concept of a preference ordering that permits stakeholders to modulate their preferences as functions of the preferences of others. As these conditional preferences propagate through a group of decision makers, they create social bonds that lead to notions of group concordance. This book is intended for all students and researchers of decision theory and game theory.

Breast Cancer - Sharing the Decision (Paperback): Anna Maslin, Trevor Powles Breast Cancer - Sharing the Decision (Paperback)
Anna Maslin, Trevor Powles
R2,143 Discovery Miles 21 430 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Of all cancers, probably breast cancer is one of the most emotive. Increasingly patients with breast cancer are participating in the surgical and/or medical decision about their treatment. This involvement raises ethical issues about the rights of patients and their ability to give an informed consent, concerns about the process of communication betwen the medical staff and the patient, and also issues about the psychology of not only the woman with breast cancer, but also the doctor. This book addresses these issues relating to shared decision making and in particular those areas where a choice of treatment option involves some degree of risk/benefit analysis. It covers the ethical principles and then looks at the evidence that women who wish to participate and who are fully informed and who have taken part in the decision making process regarding their treatment, and who have a positive attitude towards their illness, tend to do better in the long run. Appropriate experts have contributed sections on the different treatment options to provide a brief overview of the treatments available and highlight the issues that should be considered by the woman and the doctor in the decision making process. There is also a section on the patients perspective and vignettes throughout to illustrate dilemmas the paitent faces and the importance of communication. Written for the surgical, medical and clinical oncologists who deal with breast cancer patients and senior nurses in breast cancer units, this book will also be of interest to trainees practising oncologists, and the women themselves who are interested in the shared decision making process in oncology generally.

Lotteries have been used to make all kinds of public decisions ever since the days of Ancient Greece. They can contribute to some of our most important values, such as rationality, justice, and democracy. But until recently, there was no theory to make sense of lotteries and what they can do. The past few decades have changed that with a veritable renaissance of studies on lotteries. This book collects fourteen of the most important of these papers, and offers a critical introduction tying them together. Table of Contents Editor'sIntroduction 1.

Studieren, Lehren und Forschen basieren heute weitgehend auf dem Einsatz neuer Medien. Dabei werden das Sehen und das Klicken mit der Maus als Selbstverstandlichkeit vorausgesetzt. Man nimmt an, dass alle in normaler Schrift Dokumente lesen koennen. Wie koennen aber Menschen mit visueller Beeintrachtigung bei den stark auf Visualisierung ausgerichteten Lernprozessen wirklich partizipieren? Das Ziel der Arbeit ist es, Einblicke in komplexe Barrieren in der visuellen Bildungslandschaft zu geben. Der Fokus liegt auf Interaktionsprozessen zwischen sehenden und nicht (gut) sehenden Lernenden. Wichtige Sachaspekte werden vermittelt und didaktische Elemente reflektiert. Im Rahmen einer Aktionsforschung werden am Beispiel der Universitat Zurich moegliche Loesungswege aufgezeigt.

Schulen haben seit Jahren neue Freiheiten der Schulentwicklung. Diese Forschungsarbeit betrachtet dabei die Rolle der Schulleiter und geht der Frage nach, wie Schulen in Deutschland, OEsterreich und der Schweiz diese Freiheiten in der Berufsorientierung und im UEbergangsmanagement von der Schule zum Beruf empfinden und nutzen. Mit einem Methodenmix werden Good-Practice-Schulen in der internationalen Bodenseeregion identifiziert. Die Sichtweisen der entsprechenden Schulleiter und Experten der Schulentwicklung wurden in Leitfadeninterviews erhoben und analysiert. In diesem Beitrag zur UEbergangs-, Schulleiter- und Regionalforschung werden unterschiedliche Schulleitertypen herausgearbeitet und daraus ein heuristisches Modell sowie praxisrelevante und bildungspolitische Empfehlungen abgeleitet.

R1,421 Discovery Miles 14 210 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Seit der Einfuhrung des Europaischen Portfolios der Sprachen (EPS) im Jahr 2001 ist dem Portfolio ein starkes Potenzial zur Veranderung der Lernkultur im Fremdsprachenunterricht zugeschrieben worden. Die quantitative empirische Studie untersucht die Wirksamkeit der Portfolioimplementierung sowie das Modifikationspotenzial des EPS aus der Sicht von Lehrkraften. Der niedersachsische Modellversuch zur Einfuhrung des EPS wird evaluiert und die Untersuchungsergebnisse zur Bildung eines Modells fur die Implementierung herangezogen. Im Ergebnis zeigt sich, dass das Innovationspotenzial des EPS nur wirken kann, wenn Lehrkrafte Veranderungen auf den Ebenen der Organisation sowie der Lern- und Gesprachskultur vornehmen.

R2,159 Discovery Miles 21 590 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Die Jahre 2005 bis 2014 wurden durch die UN-Vollversammlung zur Weltdekade Bildung fur nachhaltige Entwicklung ausgerufen. Dabei ist das theoretische Fundament vielen Bildungsakteuren nur unzureichend bekannt. Dies - so die zentrale These dieser Arbeit - hat seine Ursache im mangelnden nachhaltigkeitstheoretischen Bezug der Bildung fur nachhaltige Entwicklung. Die Arbeit bietet diesen theoretischen Rahmen. Im Mittelpunkt steht die Frage nach den Werten in der Natur. Zur Beantwortung dieser Frage wird ein differenzierter Blick auf die Phanomenbereiche der Werte und der Natur genommen, um aus dieser Perspektive die beiden konkurrierenden Konzepte der starken und schwachen Nachhaltigkeit zu reflektieren.

R815 Discovery Miles 8 150 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

This publication examines risks from flooding and earthquakes in the Central Asia Regional Economic Cooperation (CAREC) region. It assesses the protection gap and identifies ways of strengthening financing. CAREC member countries face growing levels of disaster risk without sufficient financial protection. Regional cooperation can help narrow the protection gap and increase the financing available for quick responses to disaster events. This publication explores the current approach to disaster risk finance in each CAREC member state to identify opportunities to strengthen financing arrangements. It aims to inform the design of a regional disaster risk transfer facility.
