Building the Integrated Company

Building the Integrated Company

This title was first published in 2000: Global competition is increasingly impacting on even the most isolated of companies; the only way for any company to sustain competitive advantage is by tapping into the single remaining area of great potential - the management of people. If we want to be an above-average company we will need an above-average ratio of above-average people who perform at above-average levels. None of which will happen without above-average levels of management. Malcolm Birkin’s Building the Integrated Company offers a model for exploiting the human potential within organizations. This potential is one which in previous decades through an absence of focus on business basics and an adherence to mistaken ideas about sustainable competitive advantage we have contrived to turn into all-too-limited performance. The first stage in any new learning process is to unlearn the misplaced concepts and bad habits we have developed. Section One of the book describes and contrasts the similarities and differences of American European and Japanese management and then describes the characteristics of the Integrated Company which has absorbed and perfected the best systems and philosophies from around the world. Anyone seeking to follow this lead needs to be able to distinguish the realities of these management systems from the myths. Section Two is built around a series of 13 detailed and scored questionnaires containing over 240 individual questions enabling the reader to assess every aspect of their business from management focus to the behaviours of the workforce against the Integrated Company model. Section Three the largest and most important section deals with integration addressing the practical implementation of the systems and philosophies in a clear logical and hands-on manner. As the name suggests the Integrated Company is a holistic model involving every aspect of the business. Nevertheless managing people - the unlimited potential - remains the most complex

The Organic Chemistry of Sugars

The Organic Chemistry of Sugars

Intrigued as much by its complex nature as by its outsider status in traditional organic chemistry the editors of The Organic Chemistry of Sugars compile a groundbreaking resource in carbohydrate chemistry that illustrates the ease at which sugars can be manipulated in a variety of organic reactions. Each chapter contains numerous examples demonstrating the methods and strategies that apply mainstream organic chemistry to the chemical modification of sugars. The book first describes the discovery development and impact of carbohydrates followed by a discussion of protecting group strategies glycosylation techniques and oligosaccharide syntheses. Several chapters focus on reactions that convert sugars and carbohydrates to non-carbohydrate molecules including the substitution of sugar hydroxyl groups to new groups of synthetic or biological interest cyclitols and carbasugars as well as endocyclic heteroatom substitutions. Subsequent chapters demonstrate the use of sugars in chiral catalysis their roles as convenient starting materials for complex syntheses involving multiple stereogenic centers and syntheses for monosaccharides. The final chapters focus on new and emerging technologies including approaches to combinatorial carbohydrate chemistry the biological importance and chemical synthesis of glycopeptides and the medicinally significant concept of glycomimetics. Presenting the organic chemistry of sugars as a solution to many complex synthetic challenges The Organic Chemistry of Sugars provides a comprehensive treatment of the manipulation of sugars and their importance in mainstream organic chemistry. Daniel E. Levy editor of the Drug Discovery Series is the founder of DEL BioPharma a consulting service for drug discovery programs. He also maintains a blog that explores organic chemistry.

Developing Iran Company Towns Architecture and the Global Powers

Developing Iran Company Towns Architecture and the Global Powers

This book examines the emergence of modern company towns in Iran by delineating the architectural political and industrial histories of three distinct resource-based ‘company town’ projects built in association with the ‘Big Three’ powers of World War II. The book’s narrative builds upon a tripartite research design that chronologically traces the formation and development of the oil steel and copper industries respectively favoured by Great Britain the Soviet Union and the United States in this part of the world. By applying three sets of comparative studies the book provides critical vantage points to three different ideological design paradigms: postcolonial regionalism socialist universalism and rationalist modern nation building. From a global political context the book contributes to the disclosure of new information about the geopolitical confrontation of these three nations in the Global South to increase their sphere of influence after the Second World War. Furthermore it demonstrates how postwar architectural modernism was adopted by each power and adapted to their ideological mind frame to fulfil distinct social cultural political and economic targets. This book examines multiple interconnections between architecture politics and industrial development by adopting a transdisciplinary approach based on comprehensive fieldwork site surveys and the analysis of original multilingual documents. As such it will be of interest to researchers and students of architecture history international relations and Middle Eastern studies. | Developing Iran Company Towns Architecture and the Global Powers

Humanity and Nature in Economic Thought Searching for the Organic Origins of the Economy

Humanity and Nature in Economic Thought Searching for the Organic Origins of the Economy

Humanity and Nature in Economic Thought: Searching for the Organic Origins of the Economy argues that organic elements seen as incompatible with rational homo economicus have been left out of or downplayed in mainstream histories of economic thought. The chapters show that organic aspects (that is aspects related to sensitive cognitive or social human qualities) were present in the economic ideas of a wide range of important thinkers including Hume Smith Malthus Mill Marshall Keynes Hayek and the Polanyi brothers. Moreover the contributors to this thought-provoking volume reveal in turn that these aspects were crucial to how these key figures thought about the economy. This stimulating collection of essays will be of interest to advanced students and scholars of the history of economic thought economic philosophy heterodox economics moral philosophy and intellectual history. | Humanity and Nature in Economic Thought Searching for the Organic Origins of the Economy
