This book identifies and addresses the seven transformation
journeys that are reshaping corporations today. It integrates and
builds on the collective experience and learning of IMD's
professors, who work directly with many organizations around the
world and observe their transformation struggles at close range. By
taking a holistic and interdisciplinary view of how organizations
are transforming themselves, IMD's faculty accompany global
executives - as individuals and as leaders of global corporations -
on their transformation journeys. As a top-ranked business school,
IMD is the expert in developing global leaders through high-impact
executive education. The key to its success lies in its 100% focus
on real-world executive development, Swiss excellence with a global
perspective, and a flexible, customized and effective approach.

This book presents a comprehensive and up to date account of the
chemotherapy of parasitic diseases, both human and veterinary. The
book starts with an overview of parasitic diseases. The body of the
book is divided into two parts: antihelminthic drugs, and
antiprotozoal drugs. Both parts start with chapters highlighting
the 'biochemical targets' available for chemotherapeutic
interference. Individual chapters deal with one chemical class of
compounds and describe their origin, structure-activity
relationship, mode of action, and methods of synthesis and their
status both in clinical and veterinary practice. The book will be
useful to a wide spectrum of readers: students embarking on a
research career in parasitic chemotherapy, clinicians (and
veterinarians) and clinical pharmacologists desiring detailed
information about the drugs currently in use, and pharmaceutical
technologists wanting to update their knowledge of the methods of
manufacture.
More than any other branch of organic chemistry, synthesis has
improved our understanding of the structure, dynamics, and
transition of molecules. The availability of sophisticated tools
and new techniques has made organic synthesis more challenging than
ever for those in the field. This updated edition of the 1970 work
highlights significant and intriguing synthetic achievements: their
ingenuity in design, extent of stereochemical control, new
reactions, and new reagents. Approximately 100 examples illustrate
various aspects of organic synthesis, with particular emphasis on
bond-making and bond-breaking, dissymetry, conformation, and
stereoelectric considerations. Each describes the synthesis of a
natural product or of an unusual or strained molecule. Numerous
flow sheets and perspective structural formulas illustrate the
force of arguments predicting the stereochemical outcome of
important steps. Also included is a type-transformation index which
highlights some less common reactions.
Creativity in the face of both adversity and opportunity is the hallmark of career success. The premise of this book is that careers and creativity are broadly connected, both at the level of the individual and at the level of the larger institutions of work and society. Careers are both creative endeavours themselves, and introduce creativity into the wider employment system. By exploring models of creativity and career, and linking them with examples from a diverse array of professions, countries, and industries, this volume provides an in-depth look at contemporary careers.
How does one combine a challenging career with creativity? This book answers that question. Career Creativity explores different models of careers and creativity and the necessity for it. It is broken into four sections of study; 'Creative Careers Observed', 'Creative Careers Enacted', Careers in Creative Industries' and 'Careers Creating Industries'. This volume links these two ideals with key examples from various professions, countries and industries.
