Book DescriptionDespite people's best efforts information systems are particularly prone to failure. Some systems never materialize, others appear late and/or over budget and those that are implemented often fail to deliver the promised levels of performance. The consequences of these failures affect people throughout the organization concerned and beyond, sometimes to the point where they even threaten a company's future survival.  They also damage the companies that develop and supply such systems.  Worse still, the same types of problems occur again and again; even the most exhaustive methods are not able to ensure success. This book aims to help all those people involved with information systems to break that repeating pattern of failure.  Using real life examples it introduces a sophisticated approach based around the notion of system to come to grips with the causes of actual and potential failure.  It presents a model of a system capable of action without failure thatcan be used as a yardstick to judge existing and planned information systems and suggest measures that need to be taken to achieve success.

The book provides a tool kit for managers tasked with raising performance and sustaining motivation. Organisations are being judged by the way in which they accommodate the needs of the individual in work and life-style terms. In this context, the smart employer will not only be looking to develop policies that retain talent through recognising their work-life issues, they will be equipping their managers to manage that talent in ways which maximise the contribution that individual can make. The text introduces managers to techniques largely drawn from Brief Therapy (De Shazer & Berg). Brief Therapy is used in the UK, but primarily by social workers, psychologists and counsellors. It's application to work settings is now growing. The attraction of a Solution Focussed approach to coaching is that it offers pragmatic tools that help managers structure helping conversations. The book presents the principles of solution focussed thinking in a language that is readily understandable by managers, and shows how those principles can be applied to a range of issues which managers may find themselves facing as willing or enforced coaches. The book places coaching as an activity which can be done as part of the daily process of management.*Introduces managers to techniques drawn from Brief Therapy, based on the work of Steve de Shazer and Insoo Berg*Applies techniques to particular issues that may be brought to a manager as a coaching issue*Addresses how coaching can be encompassed within the daily demands of a manager once the principles and tools are understood

Prevalent poverty in less developed countries is one of the most pressing issues of our time and economic development in these countries is necessary to bring them out of poverty. International trade is closely relevant to economic development and export facilitation and effective industrial policies have been the key to the successful development. Current GATT/WTO provisions facilitating development are insufficient and some of WTO provisions prevent developing countries from adopting effective development policies. This book identifies such problems and proposes modifications to better facilitate development.

If your company’s goal is to become fast, responsive, and agile, more efficiency is not the answer--you need more slack.Why is it that today’s superefficient organizations are ailing? Tom DeMarco, a leading management consultant to both Fortune 500 and up-and-coming companies, reveals a counterintuitive principle that explains why efficiency efforts can slow a company down. That principle is the value of slack, the degree of freedom in a company that allows it to change. Implementing slack could be as simple as adding an assistant to a department and letting high-priced talent spend less time at the photocopier and more time making key decisions, or it could mean designing workloads that allow people room to think, innovate, and reinvent themselves. It means embracing risk, eliminating fear, and knowing when to go slow. Slack allows for change, fosters creativity, promotes quality, and, above all, produces growth. With an approach that works for new- and old-economy companies alike, this revolutionary handbook debunks commonly held assumptions about real-world management, and gives you and your company a brand-new model for achieving and maintaining true effectiveness.

Book DescriptionDistinctive overview of the internal and external pressures responsible for the emergence of modern Japan.Download DescriptionThis book offers a distinctive overview of the internal and external pressures responsible for the making of modern Japan. Louis Cullen rejects western historiography which, he argues, is based on a reluctance to accept that an eastern country could equal the west. Instead he shows that this was not a country in progressive economic and social crisis before 1868 but a highly-developed economy led by highly-rational policymakers. He shows how when an external threat emerged after 1793 the country became on balance more open rather than more oppressive and that Japan displayed remarkable success in negotiation with the western powers in 1853-68 and realism in relations with them thereafter. In the twentieth century, however, armed forces imperfectly controlled by the 1889 constitution and alarm at encroaching western and American interests in Asia and the Pacific ledto an abandonment of realism and to nemesis in China and the Pacific.
