Book Description

This book weaves together different strands of research in the area of Lifelong Learning that concentrates particularly on learning in alternative settings and ways, such experiential learning, informal and community learning. Drawing upon international research, the book examines how these strands of research can contribute to each other.

The contributions to this book are based on material presented at a conference at the Centre for Research in Lifelong Learning, UK, and they focus on research into key issues of policy and practice in Lifelong Learning. Establishing a wider framework for debate about the meaning and significance of lifelong learning, this timely and thought-provoking book will provide practitioners in the field with a relevant and current discussion on some very important ideas about non-formal education.

Book Description

Corporations from around the world have begun to taste the benefits of the Internet in many areas. Few, however, have infused their end-to-end operations with Internet technologies. This book goes beyond point solutions to define a cohesive framework for an Internet-enabled Operting Model, or I-Operations.

Based on proven thinking-tools and detailed research, I-Operations addresses the challenge of how to achieve sustainable Impact in the Internet Economy. Leaders of academic institutions, businesses, charities and governments will be provoked to find their own I-Operations strategy as they read this book.

Customer Reviews:

I-Operations: Insightful and Informative Book.......2002-05-06

This book rates highly with me because: 1) it's brief and to the point, 2) it treats I-Operations in the larger enterprise operations context, 3) it deals with the nuances of I-Operations in a thorough, clear manner, and 4) it's well written in manner accessible by non-IT executives as well - I can give it any reasonably IT-literate CxO to read.

The last section incorporating the "10 F's" is especially welcome and well done.

I had the pleasure of meeting Brett Johnson recently and it's always reassuring to know that an author can "walk the talk", as is the case here.

I strongly recommend this book.

Easy access to today's business issues.......2001-05-08

In our business of providing business solutions it is imperative that we are on the cutting edge of thinking and tools in the market. I find Brett Johnson's book full of substance that is pertinent to the issues being wrestled with in business today. This book is also very accessible, with a clean writing style that makes it easy to grasp the content. Highly recommended for business leaders.

Great book for businesses.......2001-02-11

Book Description

What is Just-In-Time/Total Quality Control (JIT/TQC)? It is an often talked about, but infrequently applied approach to manufacturing excellence which seeks to minimize waste, obsolescence and complexity. It is not a vastly complicated program nor a computer software system. Indeed, it is not new in the sense of being a revolutionary vision of the workings of a manufacturing company.

JIT/TQC is in part a resurrection, a redefinition of manufacturing objectives and an unrelenting commitment to them. It is not, repeat not, only an inventory reduction program, but includes this in a holistic approach to company operations. JIT/TQC is a quest for the causes of wasted time, money and labor and an attempt to destroy what we refer to as the "Ubiquitous RE-"-rework, repair, reject, refuse and so on.

We treat JlT/TQC holistically in this book because there is not a department or area in which its effects are not felt. Often, we refer to its far-reaching implications as a spider's web. Touch one silken strand and the entire web vibrates and alerts the spider to a possible meal. Likewise, JIT/TQC alerts plant managers to the presence of problems that we Americans have too often covered with large stocks of inventory and wasteful operations in the belief that foreign competition will be minimal and that our economy will expand at a comfortable rate.

How, then, can we simply define JIT/TQC? The right item in the right place at the right time in the right quantity with no defects, every time and everywhere in the company. This could mean the right information as well as the right amount of raw material. Most companies adopting JIT/TQC are more surprised by the indirect effects than the obvious ones. We can't emphasize enough that a total commitment to quality and efficiency at every step by all workers, whether on the shop floor or in the managerial offices, will produce effects that nobody had originally surmised.

Thus, JIT/TQC is a mind-set, or a total business philosophy, which can help American manufacturers who find themselves in the throes of the greatest overhaul since the Industrial Revolution. This overhaul has been forced upon us by our own neglect while, at the same time, nations capable of producing higher quality at lower cost swallowed up our market share. Many American companies, scrambling to find ways to increase productivity and cut costs, have moved their operations off-shore to obtain the low unit cost they have been unable to achieve here.

We don t believe that is the answer. The principal goal of this book is to show you how we can get our manufacturing operations back on the road to productivity. That will take an honest appraisal of why we have problems. Indeed, it will mean finding the problems, rather than reacting to the symptoms. Additionally, we wish to make it clear that we are in a crisis of quality. And that will demand another honest self-evaluation of why we have grown accustomed to extensive rework, excess inventory sitting on plant floors, poor shipping performance from suppliers and past due orders.

Everyone in manufacturing, whatever the industry, whatever the operation, can benefit from a discussion of JIT/TQC which unites theory, practical advice and actual case studies. We view our efforts as a handbook for those who believe we can revive American manufacturing with something other than empty talk or technological fixes. Those who read this book will run the gamut of manufacturing operations- corporate management, design engineering, production planning, human resources, information systems management, marketing, purchasing, accounting, shop floor control, warehouse management. For a holistic business philosophy, it could be no other way.

We never present JIT/TQC as a prepackaged action plan. You will use what you need, but you will be able to choose only after you have digested the whole. Nevertheless, there are four areas which are essential: QUALITY, QUANTITIES, SUPPLIERS and LOGISTICS.

QUALITY is the number one issue. Without defect-free parts coming into your factory, there is no chance for you to achieve the levels of efficiency and productivity that JIT/TQC promises.

Smaller QUANTITIES applies to a number of company practices -reduced lot sizes, lower inventory levels, reduced work-in-process levels. JIT/TQC is not only the just-in-time delivery of parts from an outside supplier. Such delivery schedules, where less parts are dropped off on a more frequent basis, requires the coordination of a number of inside activities in your company.

JIT/TQC will not work without dramatically better relations with your SUPPLIERS. In order for them to meet your frequent delivery schedule and your demand for zero-defect parts, you must be willing to work with them. This can, and should, mean making a long-term commitment, sharing engineering changes, supplying them with long-term delivery schedules and exchanging product expertise. In short, suppliers become partners.

Lastly, there is LOGISTICS which is not only getting the ordered material to your loading dock, but getting it from your loading dock to the shop floor. JIT/TQC will not work if you can't get material to your production lines fast enough to keep them from shutting down. Remember, that in the JIT/TQC environment, there is no excess inventory sitting around that you can use while you wait. Ideally, you should work toward shipping directly to the line, rather than to a receiving area. This will work when customers demands are quickly relayed to the plant in order to pass them on just as quickly to suppliers.

One last word. We often speak of ideal situations as though nothing less than their attainment is satisfactory. We won't back down from that demand which we think all American manufacturing companies should place upon themselves. If you have a 95 percent quality level, strive for 98 percent. When you reach that level, go for 99 percent. Once there, go for 99.8 percent. There is no stopping in JIT/TQC, no resting on your laurels. It is a commitment to the elimination of all waste in your company and the employment of the Total Business Concept.

Years of Knowledge in One Neat Package.......2007-07-08

As a Human Performance Technologist, I am constantly running into situations where I need to use facilitating skills. I have acquired such skills and knowledge over years of experience and practice. This book, Facilitating With Ease!," neatly packages the knowledge components required of a Facilitator and provides useful tools to be used in practice. I am planning to use this book with a client in training new facilitators to facilitate discussions of ethical business leadership. I wish I had this book 10 years ago!

COMPREHENSIVE, CLEAR AND CONCISE........2005-02-27

Details core facilitation tools and techniques. Chapters cover: understanding facilitation; facilitation stages; assessing and understanding participants; creating participation; effective decision making; facilitating conflict; meeting management; process tools for facilitators (e.g., visioning, exit surveys, brainstorming) and process designs. This is a well organized 'soup to nuts' reference including worksheets on CD-ROM that can be customized. Comprehensive, clear, and concise.

Insightful!.......2001-10-16

Companies that embrace work teams quickly discover a basic truth: More teams mean more meetings. Management experts laud the benefits of enlightened teamwork, but they spend much less time dwelling on the often long, sometimes pointless and nearly always inefficient meetings that teams breed. With teams fast becoming a fixture in the corporate world, meeting management, or facilitation, is becoming a critical skill for anyone with executive ambitions. Author Ingrid Bens' definition of a facilitator is quite specific - someone who guides a meeting without actually participating in discussion or decision making - but her book is filled with practical advice that any professional can apply when running a meeting. A host of charts, examples and worksheets (not to mention the accompanying CD) help illustrate her process for steering meetings without controlling or directing the outcome. We [...] recommend this hands-on how-to guide to anyone motivated to minimize the waste of meeting-creep.

Facilitating With Ease!.......2000-11-08

I have had the privilege of participating in workshops taught by Ingrid Bens: this is like having her in your own training room! The information in this book is both relevant and concise. I use the book to lead my facilitation team through all of their group dynamics training. The CD-ROM allows me the freedom to customize the worksheets to meet our needs. This is a great book that I highly recommend to all individuals who work in teams, lead meetings, or need assistance in group dynamics

From one facilitator to another..........2000-07-07

As a failitator of a process using storyboards, I am always looking for new twists on facilitation in general. As a compact, to the point resource on facilitation and basic meeting management, I think Ingrid's is at the top of the list. While, like any such work, you truly gain the value when you attend a workshop, this book is worth the price in things anyone can adapt and use in any organization. You can never become "good enough" at facilitation and I am glad someone referred me to this book. Two thumbs up......Oh, and one other nice thing. Everything in here is to-the-point instruction - no big ego trips with the author's name dropped into war story after war story...

An Excellent Source of Information.......2003-04-07

I felt this book was a valuable source of information. I needed a brief account on the necessary components on being a successful and effective team leader. This book led me from step to step on how to go about learning how to be a successful team manager. It included the basic know-how of team leadership, like being prepared and posing crucial questions to the team. However, it also went in-depth into the necessary skills needed in order to manage a goal-oriented group. I felt that this book not only acknowledged how to plan for a discussion, but it also looked at the real truth that can come up in group discussion. It analyzed the ins and outs of a group dynamic and even suggested ways of combating difficulties that arise in the process. The authors, Donald Hackett and Charles L. Martin, have a style of writing that is efficient, easy to grasp, and sensible. They were able to provide a step by step analysis on what it takes to be a valuable facilitator, but also the things that come up that leaders need to deal with carefully. Their topic ranges from the basic start of what a facilitator is to what skills a team leader needs. Then they consistently maintain this vision of how an effective leader can lead the group to a successful completion of the task. I enjoyed reading this book, because it not only opened my eyes to how I see leaders perform in groups I have been involved in, but I also know now how to be a successful facilitator in groups that I may choose to lead in the future. I can know use these suggestions and techniques to really drive a team into successful task completion. I highly recommend this book to anyone who has thought about leading a team in group discussion. The authors' simple, to the point style of writing, including examples and suggestions, made for a delightful read. I enjoyed reading this book as much I enjoyed learning from it as well.

This excellent book provides a simple overview of the skills and tools needed when getting a group to work on a problem. Nothing is covered in depth, however I did not think that was the purpose. This books starts a learning process which people can take further if needed. The sytle is light and it has been written to maintain the readers interest. It adequately covers concepts, communication (questioning, body language, etc) and some simple tools with easy to understand examples. Most impressive was the straight forward treatment of writing a process map to identify and deal with problems.

This book traces the economic history of the Muslims from the fall of the Mughal Empire to Independence. It shows how, with the coming of the British, a new economic structure emerged in the Indian subcontinent under which the Muslims lost not only their political power but also their economic
standing, and then shows how fear of continued economic deprivation fueled the demand for Partition.

A good non-theory based discussion of international ethics.......1999-07-21

This book was very worthwhile to read. I enjoyed it because it gave me a perspective on issues I hadn't much experience with before. I liked the organization of introductory chapters followed by case studies followed by further readings; this organization would allow for flexibility in teaching this material as well. On the negative side, I thought the cases were rather routine case studies that get bandied about in ethics discussions. There wasn't much in the cases that one probably didn't hear in the news, although (especially in the RU 486 case) there was more detail than would have been provided in popular media. In addition, I thought the treatment of ethics theory was very superficial. There wasn't any mention of classical thought, except as an aside to Virtue Theory. In order for this text to have the effect I believe it could have, it would have to be augmented with classical ethics background material. On the whole, I would recommend this book as a basic introduction to the topics of marketing ethics and international marketing ethics. It was easy to understand, its ideas and conclusions were thoughtfully developed, and the sequencing and presentation of material made the jobs of comprehension and synthesis to "the real world" something more than a mere academic exercise.

Book Description

Robert N. Stavins has emerged as one of the most influential voices in environmental economics over the last decade and a half. These twenty-three essays on environmental economics and policy, written by Professor Stavins and his co-authors over the period 1988-1999, originally appeared in a diverse set of leading, scholarly periodicals and are here collected for the first time.

The book is divided into seven parts: overview; benefits and costs of environmental regulation; normative analysis of policy instruments; positive analysis of policy instruments; environmental technology innovation and diffusion; causes and consequences of land-use changes; and global climate policy. The book begins with an introductory essay in which Stavins reflects on the professional path that led to his research and writing and identifies common themes that emerge from this period of research.

Students, scholars, practitioners and policymakers will find this volume a valuable and very useful addition to their collection.

Book Description

The evaluation of information technology and its business value are the subjects of many academic and business discussions. Investments in IT are growing extensively and business managers worry whether the benefits derived might not be as high as expected. This phenomenon is often called the IT investment paradox or the IT Black Hole: large sums of money are invested in IT that seem to be swallowed by a large black hole without rendering much return. How to measure the benefits of IT is the concern of Technology Evaluation Methods and Management. Different IT evaluation approaches and methods are discussed and illustrated with cases: traditional financial evaluations such as the return on investment, information economics and the recently introduced IT Balanced Scorecard. The latter approach is proposed as an ideal mechanism to support the IT/business alignment process and its related IT governance process.

Customer Reviews:

Specialized collection of papers for specialized audience.......2002-06-29

The collection of papers in this book represent the collective knowledge of a diverse group of international experts. While this book has wide appeal to academic readers, it is also an invaluable source of material, case studies and approaches for consultants who specialize in IT management and/or strategic planning and operational reengineering.

There are five topic areas, each with two or more papers:

(1) Benefits Realization, which addresses how to assess and quantify IT investment benefits. This topic area will be of interest to program management offices, governance committees, CIOs and anyone who is trying to develop a portfolio-based approach to IT investments that shows a clear ROI.

(2) Evaluation and Research Methods. This is an extension of the previous topic area, and focuses on after-the-fact evaluation of investment decisions.

(3) Alternatives to Traditional Evaluation, which is one of the more interesting topic areas. Each of the four papers are excellent, although I'd been exposed to the mechanics of each of the approaches from previous works.

(4) Evaluation of New Technologies. This topic area's three papers are each worth reading. My favorite was by Murphy and Simon, titled "Using Cost Benefit Analysis for Enterprise Resource Planning Project Evaluation: A Case for Including Intangibles". What made this paper a favorite is the fact that cost-benefit analysis is a questionable technique for defining IS benefit because intangibles are difficult to quantify. The authors tackle this problem and give what appears to be a workable solution.

(5) Evaluation Through Balanced Scorecard. I'll confess that this topic area is why I bought the book in the first place. I wasn't disappointed and felt that the five papers in this topic area justified, in my opinion, the cost of the book.

From the author: Several of the challenges that software organizations face today include an increase in the complexity of their information technology (IT) infrastructures and solutions, applications that may be difficult to use, and continued pressure to achieve tight time-to-market timelines. Organizations use many approaches to address these problems, including models. Models can embody critical solutions and insights and thus can be seen as assets for an organization. For example, a pattern that describes a recurring problem, its recurring solution, and the context in which it is relevant can be expressed as a model and shared with others. This paper presents some of the steps to identify reusable models, organize them for reuse, and package, publish, and ultimately reuse them--all with a focus on the benefit to the business and the alignment of IT to the needs of the business. Whereas the concepts associated with reuse are not new, organizing models for reuse in the manner described herein represents more recent techniques.

From the supplier: Property and casualty insurance companies choosing claims-processing computer hardware and software should understand the total life-cycle costs of a software program as the initial costs of buying a hardware software system account for only 10% to 20% of total costs over the system's lifetime. When choosing a software package, information managers should analyze the software company's background, its integration and field services, telephone support and user training services.
