Bedrijven kennen niet alleen goede, maar ook kwade tijden. De besmettingszaak

van Coca-Cola, de moordbandencrisis van Ford en Firestone, de kinderarbeidkwestie van IKEA en de geflopte beursgang van World Online: ondernemingen komen negatief in het nieuws, al dan niet terecht. Crises zijn aan de orde van de dag.

In dit boek betoogt Paul Stamsnijder dat een nieuwe periode is aangebroken:

het transparantietijdperk. Wat zich binnen bedrijven afspeelt, wordt steeds

zichtbaarder voor het grote publiek....

Konkelen, streken uithalen, samenzweren zijn in een organisatie een alledaagse bezigheid. Wie spant met wie samen? Wie zijn er 'twee handen' op een buik? Wie manipuleert wie, waartoe en hoe? Mensen die vertrouwen op de formele verhoudingen, op het 'nette' spel, komen bedrogen uit. Beslissingen komen niet alleen tot stand door rationele afwegingen van voor- en tegenargumenten. Nee, het andere spel, het ondergrondse politieke machtsspel, is minstens even belangrijk.

In dit boek geeft Joep Schri...

Handboek supervisiekunde geeft een verdere uitwerking van het supervisieconcept zoals dat in Nederland ontwikkeld is. Hierin wordt uitgegaan van de supervisant die op basis van zelfsturing leert, waardoor de focus van de supervisor in zijn begeleiding van de supervisant verschuift van het leren in de supervisiebijeenkomst naar het leren van de supervisant buiten de supervisiebijeenkomst.Het handboek maakt een onderscheid tussen supervisie en andere werkvormen, zoals lesgeven, training, coachi...

Proper design of printed circuit boards can make the difference between a product passing emissions requirements during the first cycle or not. Traditional EMC design practices have been simply rule-based, that is, a list of rules-of-thumb are presented to the board designers to implement. When a particular rule-of-thumb is difficult to implement, it is often ignored. After the product is built, it will often fail emission requirements and various time consuming and costly add-ons are then re...

In The Five Dysfunctions of a Team Patrick Lencioni once again offers a leadership fable that is as enthralling and instructive as his first two best-selling books, The Five Temptations of a CEO and The Four Obsessions of an Extraordinary Executive. This time, he turns his keen intellect and storytelling power to the fascinating, complex world of teams. Kathryn Petersen, Decision Tech's CEO, faces the ultimate leadership crisis: Uniting a team in such disarray that it threatens to bring down ...

Working in Java, Robert Lafore presents each essential data structure and algorithm, using clear and simple example programs accessible through a Web browser-based “Workshop Applets.” These programs demonstrate graphically exactly what ...

Exploring the structure and physical and chemical properties of solutions, dispersions, soft solids, fats, and cellular systems, Physical Chemistry of Foods describes the physiochemical principles of the reactions and conversions that occur during the manufacture, handling, and storage of foods. Coverage progresses from aspects of thermodynamics, bonds and interaction forces, and reaction kinetics, to transport phenomena, polymers, colloidal interactions, nucleation, glass transitions and fre...

This classic text on multiple regression is noted for its nonmathematical, applied, and data-analytic approach. Readers profit from its verbal-conceptual exposition and frequent use of examples. The applied emphasis provides clear illustrations of the principles and provides worked examples of the types of applications that are possible.

Researchers learn how to specify regression models that directly address their research questions. An overview of the fundamental ideas of multiple regressio...
