Become a more effective decision-maker, communicator, and manager
by using the valuable techniques described in this unique book.
It's designed to help you break away from the constraints of the
technologist's "analytical/scientific" viewpoint and employ broader
organizational and personal perspectives that strengthen your
decision-making ability and leadership skills.
"Decision-Making for Technology Executives" shows you how to
utilize this multiple perspective approach to problem-solving and
systems development in real-world, outside the laboratory,
situations. You learn how this three-dimensional approach has been
applied successfully to a wide spectrum of complex systems tasks:
from system forecasting to technology assessment, from industrial
catastrophes to facility siting decisions, from corporate strategy
to acquisition.
Through valuable case studies, such as the Exxon Valdez and
Bhopal accidents, you learn lessons on improving technology and
risk assessment, forecasting, and crisis management. And through
ready-to-implement, practical guidelines you see how to become a
more effective decision-maker and manager, while improving
communication between technologists and others involved in the
decision process.
A one-of-its-kind look at the multiple perspective concept, this
guide helps to increase your understanding of complex
sociotechnical systems, boost the technologist's effectiveness as
an executive, and improve technological risk management,
forecasting, and planning.
