This book provides a set of integrated frameworks-capital, systems,
and objects-that transcend managerial or technology hype by
focusing on the long-term fundamentals that sustain organizational
success, and it contains cases from South East Asia to elaborate
this concept. Many organizations are currently addressing two
important transformational issues: ecological sustainability and
digitization. Sustainability is a goal, an end, and digitization is
a process, a means to achieve a goal. This book introduces a
flexible model that can be applied to current and future
organizational challenges, including sustainability and
digitization, because the fundamentals are constant. This book is
designed to serve two purposes for the readers: first, to present
three conceptual foundations for designing and operating
organizations (capital, systems, and objects (section 1)); and
second, to provide a reference source for implementing these ideas
in your organization (sections 2 and 3). The first section of the
book, chapters 1 through 7, sets forth the conceptual foundations.
The chapters mix concepts and practical examples to give a new way
of thinking about the setting in which one may work many days each
year. The second section provides details and associated examples
of every one of the thirty-six forms of capital conversion. It also
illustrates how the five foundational systems support capital
conversion in a variety of ways. Finally, the third section is
about measuring capital and systems. The book covers measurement of
all types of capital and systems performance and has been written
for current and future organizational leaders to change the game
and play it more effectively. The book will thus resonate with
students of organizational behaviour and leadership strategy,
organizational leaders, industry experts, and general readers.

First published in 1998, this book tells the story, from various
viewpoints, of the building of local capacity to carry forward the
economic and social transition process which started in the late
1980s. The post-communist government and the Balcerowicz reform
could not, by themselves, transform Poland. External know-how was
needed to provide expertise and to help develop pathways and
partnerships. Management and Organisation Development was a major
theme in multilateral and bilateral assistance programmes for
Poland throughout the 1990s. Scholarships and direct training were
provided by some donors. Most of the help in this sector from the
British Know How Fund went into developing regionally-based
business schools and management training centres. Part I of this
book gives the historical and technical background from both the
Polish and donor points of view. Part II looks more closely at some
of the technical issues in the process-the development of trainers
and training methods and materials, of new and relevant courses, of
international partnerships and of local markets. The final part of
the book assesses the current context in which Polish management
educators and trainers operate and outlines some of the issues (EU
accession, the attitudes of managers, the impact of IT, and so on)
which will have to be faced by both business schools and practising
managers in the next decade.

Sustainable intensification has recently been developed and adopted
as a key concept and driver for research and policy in sustainable
agriculture. It includes ecological, economic and social
dimensions, where food and nutrition security, gender and equity
are crucial components. This book describes different aspects of
systems research in agriculture in its broadest sense, where the
focus is moved from farming systems to livelihoods systems and
institutional innovation. Much of the work represents outputs of
the three CGIAR Research Programs on Integrated Systems for the
Humid Tropics, Aquatic Agricultural Systems and Dryland Systems.
The chapters are based around four themes: the conceptual
underpinnings of systems research; sustainable intensification in
practice; integrating nutrition, gender and equity in research for
improved livelihoods; and systems and institutional innovation.
While most of the case studies are from countries and
agro-ecological zones in Africa, there are also some from Latin
America, Southeast Asia and the Pacific.
"Lithium-Ion Batteries Hazard and Use Assessment "examines the

the applicable codes and standards for lithium-ion technology.
"Lithium-Ion Batteries Hazard and Use Assessment "is designed
for practitioners as a reference guide for lithium-ion batteries
and cells. Researchers working in a related field will also find
the book valuable.
From its greatest heroes to its darkest villains...the Bible as
never seen before! The men and women of the Bible were not perfect,
but nor were they ordinary. Faith gave some power. To lead. To
save. To destroy evil. Others succumbed to the darkness. But still
more was required. An ultimate hero. To fight the ultimate battle.

Richard Curtin has directed the University of Michigan's consumer
sentiment surveys for more than four decades. His analyses of
recent trends in consumer expectations are regularly covered in the
worldwide press. In this book, Curtin presents a new theory of
expectations. Whereas conventional theories presume that consumers
play a passive role in the macro economy, simply reacting to
current trends in incomes, prices, and interest rates, Curtin
proposes a new empirically consistent theory. He argues that
expectations are formed by an automatic process that utilizes
conscious and nonconscious processes, passion and reason,
information from public and private sources, and social networks.
Consumers ultimately reach a decision that serves both the micro
decision needs of individuals and reflects the common influence of
the macro environment. Drawing on empirical observations, Curtin
not only demonstrates the importance of consumer sentiment, but
also how it can foreshadow the cyclical turning points in the
economy.

Terror Scribes is a satisfyingly diverse anthology, furnished with
nebulous, original tales guaranteed to set your teeth on edge and
give you bouts of gooseflesh. From the home-grown talent of Sue
Phillips to prolific US gore-hound Deb Hoag, from the satirists to
the psychopaths to the traditionalists, from demonic possession of
celebrities to masturbating werewolves, from hair-raising
fairytales to disturbing accounts of everyday terror, you will
shiver and gasp and question. We are not oblivious to the fear
Terror Scribes will evoke. Quite the contrary, we're advocates of
it . . .

This book portrays life inside a General Motors factory in the
1970's. Have you ever wondered why or how 'the lazy hourly workers'
came to be that way? This myth is debunked throughout the book.
Anyone who has ever worked hourly for General Motors, the big
three, or any large manufacturing company will enjoy the
experiences provided in this book. They will find themselves
reminiscing in the past about their own work experiences. Anyone
who has had a close relative that worked in a factory will want to
read this book to get a feel of what their loved ones went through
while earning a living.The book comes to the stunning conclusion
that General Motor's top executives wasted a tremendous amount of
human resources over the years. They looked down upon the factory
workers and treated them as if they were 'disposable employees.'
They never attempted to tap into the vast and almost incalculable
amount of brainpower available because they simply dismissed their
classification 'hourly worker' as useless. They treated them as if
they were the source of all of their problems. They never even
considered that with four hundred thousand hourly employees they
might have had the resources right in front of them to help in
solving the vast and complex problems that exist in the every day
world of work.In today's competitive manufacturing environment Lean
Manufacturing has stepped into the forefront for improvement. One
of the two pillars of Lean manufacturing is respect for the worker.
If you're an executive leader, manager or a student of lean you'll
want to read this book to see how not to do it. One theory of
management says that if you don't like what you see around you go
look in a mirror first because your workforce is a reflection of
your thinking and actions.
