Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. Written as a follow-up to his book, "Management Teams: Why They Succeed or Fail", R. Meredith Belbin develops his ideas further, using feedback gained through the users of this work. The ways in which personalities are moulded by the roles played and the benefits of managing the two dimensional are explained. Members of a management team need to combine a team role with a functional role. Belbin has refined and identified ways by which, for example, ineligible people turn out to be suitable - a surprise fit - so that organizations can recruit a range of personnel to match their requirements. Initially, an overview of the development of team roles is given, ranging from formal job titles arranged in strict hierarchies to an interdependence and co-operation between members of the team. Various operational strategies are laid out which provide ideas and techniques that can be learned to advantage. The political aspects of team role management are also discussed in the light of newly acquired understanding and experience. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition.

Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. This classic has been completely updated for the second edition. John Robinson, the Technical Editor of Performance Bikes', explains how various stages of engine tune are reached, and describes typical development work with enough theory to devise a practical development programme. The phenomena described are all known to work - the trick is making them all work together. Engine development is slow and expensive, but the results can be very rewarding, both in competition and in the sheer pleasure of using a motor which is crisp and perfectly set up. Although it is not possible to make all-round engine improvements, other than those gained by careful assembly to the exact stock tolerances, improvements in one area can be traded' for losses in another: increases in high-speed power balanced perhaps against losses in low-speed power, engine flexibility and reliability. John Robinson takes the reader through the processes which are necessary to make your four-stroke run perfectly. Will be promoted by PERFORMANCE BIKES.

Paperback. Condizione: Good. The author of this book looks at the management of non-profit institutions, which have become the "growth industry" of America. The American Heart Association, the American Cancer Society, the Girl Scouts of the USA and the Boy Scouts of the USA, are the world's largest women's and men's organizations. They, are a few of the thousands of organizations that are a part of the non-profit sector, and have in the view of the author become America's "Civil Society". Drucker contends that if the health of a sector in the economy is judged by its share of the GNP, the non-profits do not look healthy at all. The share of GNP that goes to leisure has more than doubled in the last 40 years: the share that goes to medical care has gone up from two percent of the GNP to 11 percent; the share that goes to education, especially to colleges and universities, has tripled. Yet the share that is being given by the American people to the non-profit, human-change agents has not increased at all. In his view we can no longer hope to get money from "donors", they have to become "contributors". The non-profit are the American community. They increasingly give the individual the ability to perform and to achieve. Precisely because volunteers do not have the satisfaction of a pay-check, they have to get more satisfaction out of their contribution. They have to be managed as unpaid staff. But most non-profits still have to learn how to do this. The book has been read but remains in clean condition. All pages are intact and the cover is intact. Some minor wear to the spine.…
