Book Description

In the rush toward quality improvement, many companies have assumed that TQM program automatically pay off--and that related expenses are always recouped. This pioneering book challenges those fatal notions. It exposes the root cause of failure in many quality initiatives, and shows how to implement a quality review process directly linked to financial and operational performance. A must for businesses that, despite limited resources, are eager to join the quality bandwagon--and for all managers who must bridge the gap between long-range quality efforts and short-term fiscal results.

Book Description

This volume contains a spirited debate among eminent journalists, economists, and publishers about the spread of economic ideas. The interchange among the writers provides both the lay reader and the interested professional with fascinating insights into what happens behind the scenes in academia, publishing, and journalism. The first two sections of the book discuss the flow of ideas from economist to economist and from economists to the general public. The third part examines the use and abuse of economic ideas in policy formation, and the final section provides insights into the funding of ideas and the incentives to make economics more relevant.

GOOD for CREATIVITY TRAINNER.......2003-03-30

This is the standard way of training series. It is concise, practical, and useful. It is to the point of the purpose of teaching creativity and problem solving.

This book is not for people who want to learn about creativity.

I feel there is still some lack sense of FUN and FRESHNESS in the approach though.

If you need to teach about creativity and you know a lot already and want an additional material ready to use (or modify as you see fit, bu you need the FRAMEWORK), that this is the right book for you.

Complete with material to copy, why and what about it and some slides (gee, i hv not seen anybody useing slides these days, hope the writer can send me the powerpoint files instead).

It was writen about a decade ago, but it is finely framed out and ready to use on day one (hence comed the 5 stars).

With the more recognation of creativity as an important drive in the corporate world, i think this book will be perfect if modified to suit the time and age of today.

All in all, i still like this book and i will use some of the material incorporate into my training program.

This book is a poor value.......2001-01-12

I ordered this book thinking it would give me information. Instead it is LITERALLY a check list. It is a thin little book with a few pages of lists and a poor glassary in the back.

Book Description

The objective of this book is to outline the best practice in designing, installing, commissioning and troubleshooting industrial data communications systems. In any given plant, factory or installation there are a myriad of different industrial communications standards used and the key to successful implementation is the degree to which the entire system integrates and works together.

With so many different standards on the market today, the debate is not about what is the best - be it Foundation Fieldbus, Profibus, Devicenet or Industrial Ethernet but rather about selecting the most appropriate technologies and standards for a given application and then ensuring that best practice is followed in designing, installing and commissioning the data communications links to ensure they run fault-free. The industrial data communications systems in your plant underpin your entire operation. It is critical that you apply best practice in designing, installing and fixing any problems that may occur. This book distills all the tips and tricks with the benefit of many years of experience and gives the best proven practices to follow.

The main steps in using today's communications technologies involve selecting the correct technology and standards for your plant based on your requirements; doing the design of the overall system; installing the cabling and then commissioning the system. Fiber Optic cabling is generally accepted as the best approach for physical communications but there are obviously areas where you will be forced to use copper wiring and, indeed, wireless communications. This book outlines the critical rules followed in installing the data communications physical transport media and then ensuring that the installation will be trouble-free for years to come.

The important point to make is that with todays wide range of protocols available, you only need to know how to select, install and maintain them in the most cost-effective manner for your plant or factory - knowledge of the minute details of the protocols is not necessary.

* An engineer's guide to communications systems using fiber optic cabling, copper cabling and wireless technology
* Covers: selection of technology and standards - system design - installation of equipment and cabling - commissioning and maintenance
* Crammed with practical techniques and know how - written by engineers for engineers

Book Description

Over the last several decades, improvements in software development tools and methods have allowed geographically and culturally diverse groups to come together in global software development teams. Team members bring diverse expectations and goals that make the task of virtual product development considerably more complex than the most complex in-house projects.

Global Software Development covers the delicate tasks of managing diverse cultural expectations, establishing responsibility, implementing accountability, and defining process and product ownership. Subtle changes in the cost, schedule, and quality issues involved in normal product delivery are also examined. Although focused on global development projects, the book discusses issues that apply to most distributed software development environments.

Following the life cycle of a typical software development project, the text examines the growing need for global software development and the foundations of its strategy. From setting up the initial environment and project team, the book progresses through every development stage emphasizing the differences between traditional and virtual management. The final chapter presents three case studies illustrating the principles and activities described in the preceding chapters.

Dale Karolak's goal is to make it easier for managers to understand what to consider when managing a virtual project and offers a broad spectrum of information that enhances the reader's understanding of global software development.
