Aimed at business students preparing to enter the workforce,
Leadership and Mindful Behavior provides readers with guidelines
for effective and perceptive leadership. Some of the aspects to be
reviewed will be the importance of both soft and hard skills; the
concepts of sleepwalking and wakefulness; mental models, respect,
change, and compassion.

The working world of the twenty-first century can be a daunting
place. With the glacial pace of unemployment decline, people cling
to the jobs they have, not taking full advantage of the benefits of
job transition. Courage in the Twenty-First Century is centered
around the art of moving forward both in professional and personal
life. Author, Joan Marques offers a strategy for self-renewal to
divulge the virtues and viewpoints to successfully move from one
career to another. Using the seven step system of: choice,
open-mindedness, usefulness, reality, attitude, genius, and
education, Marques ushers readers through the process of
transitioning from one career to another in a time of employment
uncertainty.

Business education today demands more responsible and synergistic
approaches on a number of key fronts. Distance learning, a new
generation of students with its own unique character, ethical
questions concerning social responsibility and the environment, and
the powerful effects of new technologies are transforming higher
education at large and business education in particular. Through
their combined experience in these domains, and their broad
diversity in geographical, ethnic, and educational backgrounds, the
authors are living and leading constructive interdisciplinary
change in business education. This book will be divided into three
interrelated parts: 1) Change in Management Education, 2) Change in
Leadership Strategies, and 3) Expansion of Views and Approaches.
These are the three areas that require most urgent paradigm shifts
followed by swift, targeted action.
Legumes are very important plants playing a central role in
biological research. They are a key component of sustainable
agricultural systems because of symbiotic nitrogen fixation and
other beneficial symbiosis with mycorrhizal fungi. Studies on most
of the major leguminous crops are hampered by large genome sizes
and other disadvantages which have hindered the isolation and
characterisation of genes with important roles in legume biology
and agriculture. For this reason Lotus japonicus was chosen as a
model species for legume research some ten years ago. Since then,
many groups around the world have adopted Lotus as a model and have
developed numerous resources and protocols to facilitate basic and
applied research on this species. This handbook represents the
first effort to compile basic descriptions and methods for research
in Lotus, including symbiotic processes, cell and molecular biology
protocols, functional genomics, mutants, gene tagging and genetic
analysis, transformation and reverse genetic analysis, primary and
secondary metabolism, and an exhaustive update of the scientific
literature available on this plant.
This is the second volume on the changing nature of state-business
relations. This book examines how the dynamics of business have
influenced public policy in the context of economic liberalization
and democratization. It identifies the circumstances under which
business might support progressive policies in developing
countries.
This is the first of two volumes that examine the changing nature
of state-business relations. This book assesses the potential and
limits of CSR in developing countries, by focusing on aspects that
are often ignored in the CSR literature: historical experience,
theoretical perspectives, and institutional and political
dimensions of change.

Electrical machines and drives, and their associated power
electronics, are a key part of an industrialized society.
Reliability is a major challenge in systems design, operation, and
maintenance of these technologies. Unreliable systems drive up
costs, so diagnostics and fault tolerance become important to help
maintain the system and estimate its operational lifetime.
Diagnosis and Fault Tolerance of Electrical Machines, Power
Electronics and Drives describes techniques for fault analysis,
diagnostics, condition monitoring methods, reconfiguration,
remedial operating strategies and fault tolerance in electrical
machines, power electronics and variable speed drives. It is a
must-read for researchers in academia and industry, as well as for
manufacturers and advanced students involved with electrical
machines.
