This timely and insightful book offers an innovative, unifying
conceptual framework for managing the crucial asset of human
capital. In order to do this, Andrea Lanza and Giuseppina Simone
bridge the gap between Strategy and Organization disciplines in the
study of human capital. Clarifying ambiguous aspects overlooked by
the extant literature, Lanza and Simone provide a new,
theoretically grounded managerial tool to help organizations
achieve the most from human capital. Based on original empirical
evidence, the authors put forward a fresh perspective on human
capital strategy. They also propose a fascinating, game-theoretic
approach to solve the 'Principal-Agent' conflict in the context of
human capital renewal, dramatically advancing the field of
strategic human capital with respect to both academic knowledge and
managerial applications. Innovative and cutting-edge, this book
offers crucial insights for scholars investigating strategic
management and strategic human capital, as well as researchers
interested in entrepreneurship and human resource management. It
will also benefit managers and practitioners, providing guidance in
developing and implementing strategic human capital visions.
Microfluidic technology is revolutionising a number of scientific
fields, including chemistry, biology, diagnostics, and engineering.
The ability to manipulate fluids and objects within networks of
micrometre-scale channels allows reductions in processing and
analysis times, reagent and sample consumption, and waste
production, whilst allowing fine control and monitoring of chemical
or biological processes. The integration of multiple components and
processes enable "lab-on-a-chip" devices and "micro total analysis
systems" that have applications ranging from analytical chemistry,
organic synthesis, and clinical diagnostics to cell biology and
tissue engineering. This concise, easy-to-read book is perfectly
suited for instructing newcomers on the most relevant and important
aspects of this exciting and dynamic field, particularly
undergraduate and postgraduate students embarking on new studies,
or for those simply interested in learning about this widely
applicable technology. Written by a team with more than 20 years of
experience in microfluidics research and teaching, the book covers
a range of topics and techniques including fundamentals (e.g.
scaling laws and flow effects), microfabrication and materials,
standard operations (e.g. flow control, detection methods) and
applications. Furthermore, it includes questions and answers that
provide for the needs of students and teachers in the area.
