Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - This book provides a framework to help managers go beyond simply fighting fires every day, offering the tools to address the underlying causes of recurring problems and deliver long-term solutions. The most obvious part of any problem is the pain it causes. The desire to end the pain and find a solution - any solution - that will make it go away now is usually so great that it blinds managers to the underlying systemic cause of the problem. The result is that we 'solve' the problem today and then it comes back again tomorrow or next week, again and again.We are only addressing the symptoms but never understanding the cause - like picking the flower heads off weeds but not digging them out at the roots.Schaveling and Bryan offer the insights and tools managers and leaders need to achieve a longer term and more effective approach by stepping back and analysing the system as a whole. And at the heart of any system are human beings - notoriously short-term and pain-averse creatures who will behave in whatever way minimises pain today even at the expense of pain tomorrow. They show how to detect the behavior patterns that have become engrained in the organisation and which underlie complex situations so that root causes of problems can be identified. Once the system responsible for the problem is understood smarter decisions can be made to devise interventions that solve the core problem instead of wasting energy fighting the symptoms.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - This book provides a detailed analysis of the dimensions and dynamics of the role of international aid in the reform and capacity development of public service in post-communist Albania. It challenges the technocratic, results-based management frameworks used by aid organizations and reports of official donors operating in the country context, and offers a qualitative and critical assessment of the role of aid in administrative reform and capacity building. Secondly, the book highlights the specificity of the national politico-administrative context and its ability to modify the process of policy transfer from aid organizations to the Albanian bureaucracy. In doing so, it illustrates the domestic challenges in the transfer process towards policy learning and makes a valuable contribution to the debate over the (voluntary vs. coercive) administrative reform in Southeast Europe in relation to the politics of EU accession.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Ziel des Buches ist keine Generalschelte aller im Gesundheitswesen tätigen Menschen und Organisationen. Es zeigt aber auf, dass sich in den letzten 50 Jahren systematische Denkfehler eingeschlichen haben und hebt Bereiche hervor, in denen Patienteninteressen zu Gunsten von Marktinteressen zurückgeschraubt wurden. Viele Fehler, die alle Bereiche der Medizin durchziehen, sind auf ein Fehlverständnis in Auswertung und Interpretation von Forschung zurückzuführen. Erkennt man diese Fehler, ändert man das Verhalten - was dazu führt, dass man eine Medizin betreibt, die für die Patienten wieder Sinn macht. 297 pp. Deutsch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Unternehmenskooperationen und -netzwerke leben vom Engagement der beteiligten Partner und deren Bereitschaft, sich für die gemeinsamen Ziele einzusetzen. Das beinhaltet auch, dass sich Individuen und auch Organisationen als Ganze über die vertraglich vereinbarte Minimalanforderung hinaus - auch wenn sie nicht direkt dafür honoriert werden - kooperativ engagieren, um den Erfolg der Zusammenarbeit sicherzustellen.Innerhalb einzelner Organisationen werden solche Verhaltensweisen vor allem in der Arbeits-/Organisationspsychologie als 'Organizational Citizenship Behavior' (OCB) bezeichnet und seit den 1980er Jahren intensiv erforscht. Diese Forschung beschränkt sich jedoch auf die organisationalen Grenzen und wird der zunehmenden Bedeutung von interorganisationaler Zusammenarbeit nicht gerecht. Ziel der Dissertation ist es, die Übertragbarkeit von OCB auf den (Projekt-)Netzwerkkontext unter Berücksichtigung spezifischer Strukturmerkmale von temporären Organisationen und Netzwerken zu überprüfen. Damit wird sowohl ein Beitrag zur OCB-Forschung geleistet, als auch eine neue, stärker verhaltensbezogene Perspektive der (Projekt-)Netzwerkforschung angeregt.Das Buch wendet sich sowohl an Forscher, Dozenten und Studierende, die sich für verhaltenswissenschaftliche und zugleich organisationstheoretisch informierte Managementforschung interessieren als auch an Projekt- und Personalmanager sowie an alle Führungskräfte mit Personalverantwortung. 296 pp. Deutsch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Die vertraglichen Schuldverhältnisse sind zentraler Bestandteil des zivilrechtlichen Pflichtfachstoffes. Dem trägt das Lehrbuch Rechnung, indem es die klassischen Vertragstypen vertieft erläutert und einen Überblick zu atypischen und gemischten Verträgen gibt. Neben dem notwendigen Wissen zu den jeweiligen Einzelregelungen werden vor allem die dogmatischen und methodischen Zusammenhänge aufgezeigt, um das argumentative Rüstzeug zu vermitteln, das für die Beantwortung neuer Fragestellungen unerlässlich ist. Besonderer Wert wurde zudem auf die Verzahnung mit dem Allgemeinen Schuldrecht, insbesondere dem Leistungsstörungsrecht gelegt. Die nunmehr vorliegende 5. Auflage des Lehrbuches verarbeitet neben der neueren Rechtsprechung und Literatur zahlreiche Gesetzesänderungen der jüngsten Zeit. Diese betreffen u.a. das kaufvertragliche Mängelrecht, das Verbraucherkreditrecht, die Neuregelung des Bauvertragsrechts und die Umgestaltung des Reisevertragsrechts. 980 pp. Deutsch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Dieses Buch führt den Leser in eine wissenschaftlich gut begründete, aber gnadenlose Kritik der Art und Weise wie heute Medizin gelebt und praktiziert wird. Der Leser erfährt, wieso der Patient aus dem Blickfeld geriet und wieso das System Medizin sich selbst, aber nur zu oft nicht dem Patienten dient. Der Autor bleibt jedoch nicht in der Kritik von Arzt bis Zulassungsbehörde stecken, sondern entwirft eine ganz einfach zu verwirklichende Vision einer Medizin, die weniger die Marktinteressen, sondern den Patienten in den Mittelpunkt stellt. Deswegen auch der Aufruf: Gebt der Medizin ihren Sinn zurück!

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - This book provides an overview of model-based environmental visual perception for humanoid robots. The visual perception of a humanoid robot creates abidirectional bridgeconnecting sensor signals with internal representations of environmental objects. The objective of such perception systems is to answer two fundamental questions:What & where is it To answer these questions using asensor-to-representation bridge, coordinated processes are conducted to extract and exploit cues matching robot's mental representations to physical entities. These include sensor & actuator modeling, calibration, filtering, and feature extraction for state estimation. This book discusses the following topics in depth:-Active Sensing: Robust probabilistic methods for optimal, high dynamic range image acquisition are suitable for use with inexpensive cameras. This enables ideal sensing in arbitrary environmental conditions encountered in human-centric spaces. The book quantitatively shows the importance of equipping robots with dependable visual sensing.-Feature Extraction & Recognition: Parameter-free, edge extraction methods based on structural graphs enable the representation of geometric primitives effectively and efficiently. This is done by eccentricity segmentation providing excellent recognition even on noisy & low-resolution images. Stereoscopic vision, Euclidean metric and graph-shape descriptors are shown to be powerful mechanisms for difficult recognition tasks.-Global Self-Localization & Depth Uncertainty Learning: Simultaneous feature matching for global localization and 6D self-pose estimation are addressed by a novel geometric and probabilistic concept using intersection of Gaussian spheres. The path from intuition to the closed-form optimal solution determining the robot location is described, including a supervised learning method for uncertainty depth modeling based on extensive ground-truth training data from a motion capture system.The methods and experiments are presented in self-contained chapters with comparisons and the state of the art. The algorithms were implemented and empirically evaluated on two humanoid robots:ARMAR III-A & B. The excellent robustness, performance and derived results received an award at the IEEE conference on humanoid robots and the contributions have been utilized for numerous visual manipulation tasks with demonstration at distinguished venues such asICRA, CeBIT, IAS, and Automatica.
