The Basics of Hoshin Kanri

The Basics of Hoshin Kanri

The problem with most Hoshin Kanri books is that they describe a complex methodology that is overwhelming to most leaders and their organizations. The need to essentially change the culture of the entire organization to make Hoshin work isn�t practical for most companies when first starting out. The Basics of Hoshin Kanri uses an easy-to-follow story format to simplify and explain Hoshin Kanri � a method for strategy deployment. Supplying clear descriptions of the steps of Hoshin Kanri it advocates using Hoshin as an important tool for improving an organization�s existing planning and execution system while simultaneously moving the culture of the organization forward. The book provides readers with a new understanding of Hoshin Kanri as a powerful deployment system for strategic planning defining a direction and priorities and aligning the organization around that direction. It begins by telling the story of a manufacturing executive that uses a simple Hoshin Kanri approach to make significant change in his personal life. Next the book illustrates how this executive prepares to apply Hoshin Kanri to deploy strategy within his business. It concludes by presenting fascinating excerpts from the author�s own interviews with experts in the field of Hoshin Kanri. All business leaders want their organizations to be great in all respects but the reality is that they must get to good before they can consider becoming great.

Patent Fundamentals for Scientists and Engineers

Patent Fundamentals for Scientists and Engineers

The most significant overhaul of the U. S. patent laws in decades occurred with the recent passage of the Leahy-Smith America Invents Act (AIA). Understanding the law that dictates what a patent is and how a patent is obtained and enforced and the recent changes through statute or case law litigation presents unique challenges. This third edition of Patent Fundamentals for Scientists and Engineers examines the new Act and provides an overview of the patent system for the independent inventor as well as for members of the scientific and business community whether a scientist engineer supervisor or manager. In addition to a new chapter dedicated to the America Invents Act the third edition includes annotations of the recent law changes updates in all chapters new figures and new case studies. The authors discuss patent filing outside of the United States and also dedicate a chapter specifically to the Canadian patent system. They describe the key topics that anyone involved in the patent process needs to know including what makes an invention patentable the art of patent searching and the crucial role of record keeping. The text also includes an indispensable glossary of patent terminology as well as an appendix with sample U. S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) forms. This book provides a valuable guide to assist inventors in dealing with the USPTO as well as with patent professionals. The text describes the patent process from conception to application filing and is a must-have reference for scientists and businesspeople alike. Since the role of patent professionals is to obtain the maximum protection for inventors both the inventor and businessperson would be well advised to understand and participate in all the steps involved. This book offers an excellent insight into the patent process.

Conversations with Terrorists Middle East Leaders on Politics Violence and Empire

Conversations with Terrorists Middle East Leaders on Politics Violence and Empire

Drawing on original research and firsthand interviews Conversations with Terrorists offers critical portraits of six Middle Eastern leaders often labeled as terrorists: Syrian president Bashar Al-Assad Hamas top leader Khaled Meshal Israeli politician Geula Cohen Iranian Revolutionary Guard founder Mohsen Sazargara Hezbollah spiritual advisor Grand Ayatollah Mohammed Fadlallah and former Afghan Radio and Television Ministry head Malamo Nazamy. Veteran journalist Reese Erlich offers them a chance to explain key issues and to respond to charges leveled by the United States. Critiquing these responses and synthesizing a broad range of material Erlich shows that yesterday’s terrorist is today’s national leader and that today’s freedom fighter may become tomorrow’s terrorist. He concludes that the global war on terror has diverted public attention from the war’s real goal—expanding U. S. influence and interests in the Middle East—and offers policy remedies. | Conversations with Terrorists Middle East Leaders on Politics Violence and Empire

The Routledge Companion to Surrealism

The Routledge Companion to Surrealism

This book provides a conceptual and global overview of the field of Surrealist studies. Methodologically the companion considers Surrealism’s many achievements but also its historical shortcomings to illuminate its connections to the historical and cultural moment(s) from which it originated and to assess both the ways in which it still shapes our world in inspiring ways and the ways in which it might appear problematic as we look back at it from a twenty-first-century vantage point. Contributions from experienced scholars will enable professors to teach the subject more broadly by opening their eyes to aspects of the field that are on the margins of their expertise and it will enable scholars to identify new areas of study in their own work by indicating lines of research at a tangent to their own. The companion will reflect the interdisciplinarity of Surrealism by incorporating discussions pertaining to the visual arts as well as literature film and political and intellectual history. | The Routledge Companion to Surrealism

Beyond First Order Model Theory Volume I and II

Beyond First Order Model Theory Volume I and II

Model theory is the meta-mathematical study of the concept of mathematical truth. After Afred Tarski coined the term Theory of Models in the early 1950’s it rapidly became one of the central most active branches of mathematical logic. In the last few decades ideas that originated within model theory have provided powerful tools to solve problems in a variety of areas of classical mathematics including algebra combinatorics geometry number theory and Banach space theory and operator theory. The two volumes of Beyond First Order Model Theory present the reader with a fairly comprehensive vista rich in width and depth of some of the most active areas of contemporary research in model theory beyond the realm of the classical first-order viewpoint. Each chapter is intended to serve both as an introduction to a current direction in model theory and as a presentation of results that are not available elsewhere. All the articles are written so that they can be studied independently of one another. The first volume is an introduction to current trends in model theory and contains a collection of articles authored by top researchers in the field. It is intended as a reference for students as well as senior researchers. This second volume contains introductions to real-valued logic and applications abstract elementary classes and applications interconnections between model theory and function spaces nonstucture theory and model theory of second-order logic. Features A coherent introduction to current trends in model theory. Contains articles by some of the most influential logicians of the last hundred years. No other publication brings these distinguished authors together. Suitable as a reference for advanced undergraduate postgraduates and researchers. Material presented in the book (e. g abstract elementary classes first-order logics with dependent sorts and applications of infinitary logics in set theory) is not easily accessible in the current literature. The various chapters in the book can be studied independently. | Beyond First Order Model Theory Volume I and II

The Handbook of Adult and Continuing Education

The Handbook of Adult and Continuing Education

Co-published with Colleges and universities are increasingly becoming significant sites for adult education scholarship—in large part due to demographic shifts. With fewer U. S. high school graduates on the horizon higher education institutions will need to attract “non-traditional” (i. e. older) adult learners to remain viable both financially and politically. There is a need to develop a better corpus of scholarship on topics as diverse as what learning theories are useful for understanding adult learning? How are higher education institutions changing in response to the surge of adult students? What academic programs are providing better learning and employment outcomes for adults in college? Adult education scholars can offer much to the policy debates taking place in higher education. A main premise of this handbook is that adult and continuing education should not simply respond to rapidly changing social economic technological and political environments across the globe but should lead the way in preparing adults to become informed globally-connected critical citizens who are knowledgeable skilled and open and adaptive to change and uncertainty. The Handbook of Adult and Continuing Education provides rich information on the contemporary issues and trends that are of concern to adult and continuing education of the programs and resources available to adult learners and of opportunities to challenge and critique the structures embedded in the field that perpetuate inequity and social injustice. Adult education is a discipline that foresees a better tomorrow and The Handbook is designed to engage and inspire readers to assist the field to seek new paths in uncertain and complex times ask questions and to help the field flourish. The Handbook is divided into five sections. The first Foundations situates the field by describing the developments core debates perspectives and key principles that form the basis of the field. The second Understanding Adult Learning includes chapters on adult learning adult development motivation access participation and support of adult learners and mentoring. Teaching Practices and Administrative Leadership the third section offers chapters on organization and administration program planning assessment and evaluation teaching perspectives andragogy and pedagogy public pedagogy and digital technologies for teaching and learning. The fourth section is Formal and Informal Learning Contexts. Chapters cover adult basic GED and literacy education English-as-a-Second Language Programs family literacy prison education workforce development military education international development education health professions education continuing professional education higher education human resource development and workplace learning union and labor education religious and spiritual education cultural institutions environmental education social and political movements and peace and conflict education. The concluding Contemporary Issues section discusses decolonizing adult and continuing education adult education and welfare teaching social activism lesbian gay bisexual trans queer and straight allies gender and its multiple forms disability older adults and intergenerational identities race and ethnicity working class whiteness and privilege and migrants and migrant education. The editors culminate with consideration of next steps for adult and continuing education and priorities for the future.
