Packaging plays an essential role in protecting and extending the
shelf life of a wide range of foods, beverages and other
fast-moving consumer goods. There have been many key developments
in packaging materials and technologies in recent years, and Trends
in packaging of food, beverages and other fast-moving consumer
goods (FMCG) provides a concise review of these developments and
international market trends.
Beginning with a concise introduction to the present status and
trends in innovations in packaging for food, beverages and other
fast-moving consumer goods, the book goes on to consider modified
atmosphere packaging and other active packaging systems, including
smart and intelligent packaging, and the role these play in
augmenting and securing the consumer brand experience. Developments
in plastic and bioplastic materials and recycling systems are then
discussed, followed by innovations and trends in metal, paper and
paperboard packaging. Further chapters review international
environmental and sustainability regulatory and legislative
frameworks, before the use of nanotechnology, smart and interactive
packaging developments for enhanced communication at the
packaging/user interface are explored. Finally, the book concludes
by considering potential future trends in materials and
technologies across the international packaging market.
With its distinguished editor and international team of expert
contributors, Trends in packaging of food, beverages and other
fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) is an important reference tool,
providing a practical overview of emerging packaging technologies
and market trends for research and design professionals in the food
and packaging industry, and academics working in this area.

Despite valiant efforts and the advent of techniques such as
delegation, career development, performance management, key
performance indicators, programme and project management, social
network analysis, and employee engagement, most organizations
struggle to beat the 70 per cent failure rule for profound,
people-disruptive business change. Surveys show that most employees
are still disengaged from their work. Innovation is sluggish and
agility elusive. Harnessing the hidden potential of your workforce
can be a slow, often painful process. Neil Farmer's The Invisible
Organization explains how to adapt your organization's design to
the informal networks that form most of the basis for communication
between managers and employees. The book explores five key themes:
c Executive leadership - a little autocracy and a lot of
collaboration; how senior managers can enable and facilitate
change; c Effective first-line management - in most organizations
up to 60 per cent need to be replaced and women need to occupy far
more significant roles; c HR Managers - a key role, but most don't
make the transition from 'command and control' towards the
effective use of key influencers and informal network which allows
HR people to contribute to the future of their business: c The
value of local influencers and those with extensive personal
networks - how to identify them and increase their roles across all
forms of business change; c Radical changes to white-collar
outsourcing - to an in-house outsourcing service. This is an
important, if somewhat painful, call to arms for leaders and HR
specialists across all organizations.
Reception, it's a funny old term, rather like a waiting room, a
foyer, or a gathering place before the main event. The main event
here being the start of Key Stage One and school life. Reception
has in many ways been seen as a 'holding pen', a preparation for
'school readiness' rather than a stage and age in its own right.
Neil Farmer draws upon his experience of working with and
supporting schools and leaders up and down the country and abroad -
in many instances going right back to the basics - and putting
forward suggestions and strategies that will assist teachers in
gaining an ownership of their classroom and a true understanding of
their vital role as a facilitator, mediator and coach. It is not a
'one cap fits all solution', but rather some practical tips that
Reception teachers may decide to employ, alter and make their own.
