Adapting Building for Changing Uses discusses the comprehensive refurbishment of buildings to enable them to be used for purposes different to those originally intended. For those involved in the often risky business of conversion of buildings from one type of use to another, Adapting Building for Changing Uses provides secure guidance on which uses may be best suited to a particular location. This guidance is based on a unique decision tool, the "Use Comparator", which was developed through research carried out at UCL in the mid 1990's. The "Use Comparator" compares the physical and locational characteristics of a building with the characteristics best suited to various types of use. A total of 77 targeted types of use are evaluated, in contrast to the 17 uses normally considers by regulatory planners. Adapting Building for Changing Uses also identifies the key problems experienced by building managers involved in assembling the coalition of Producers, Investors, Marketeers, Regulators and Users, which makes the key decisions in "Adaptive Reuse". The book explores the differing perceptions and attitudes of these key decision agents to matters such as cost, value, risk and robustness, and offers advice on how to avoid the potential for project failure that these differences present. eBook available with sample pages: 0203223179

Walmart is the largest employer in the world. It encompasses nearly
1 percent of the entire American workforce-young adults, parents,
formerly incarcerated people, retirees. Walmart also presents one
possible future of work-Walmartism-in which the arbitrary authority
of managers mixes with a hyperrationalized, centrally controlled
bureaucracy in ways that curtail workers' ability to control their
working conditions and their lives. In Working for Respect, Adam
Reich and Peter Bearman examine how workers make sense of their
jobs at places like Walmart in order to consider the nature of
contemporary low-wage work, as well as the obstacles and
opportunities such workplaces present as sites of struggle for
social and economic justice. They describe the life experiences
that lead workers to Walmart and analyze the dynamics of the shop
floor. As a part of the project, Reich and Bearman matched student
activists with a nascent association of current and former Walmart
associates: the Organization United for Respect at Walmart (OUR
Walmart). They follow the efforts of this new partnership,
considering the formation of collective identity and the
relationship between social ties and social change. They show why
traditional unions have been unable to organize service-sector
workers in places like Walmart and offer provocative suggestions
for new strategies and directions. Drawing on a wide array of
methods, including participant-observation, oral history, big data,
and the analysis of social networks, Working for Respect is a
sophisticated reconsideration of the modern workplace that makes
important contributions to debates on labor and inequality and the
centrality of the experience of work in a fair economy.
"GETTING THE RIGHT PEOPLE, IN THE RIGHT PLACE, AT THE RIGHT TIME,
WITH THE RIGHT MOTIVATION."
Tom Casey and his collaborators want ALL CEOs to appreciate the
imminent "Perfect Storm" of human capital change. As CEOs navigate
the unchartered waters of globalization, declining engagement, and
shifting demographics, they are seeing a dramatic imbalance between
talent needs and talent availability. As well, CEOs are confronted
with the difference in work styles and priorities of four
generations of employees and need to reconcile their distinct
aspirations to ensure maximum productivity. "Talent Readiness"
addresses the top ten human capital challenges of the new decade,
and provides immediate solutions to harness the unique skills and
attitudes of the new labor market.
