Description:
Much has been written about reflexive modernity and risk society in the recent past. It has been argued that a shift has occurred within late modernity which has led to the emergence of the reflexive citizen. Supposedly, this citizen engages with his or her world in ways that are significantly different to the past. This paper maps out the thrust of these theories, some criticisms of them and then outlines a strategy for researching them. It does so by explaining how these changes can be traced through an examination of NHS Direct, the UK telephone health advice line. .

Book Description

In this first comprehensive departure from the time-and-motion dictums of Frederick Taylor's Shop Management that have influenced management practices for most of this century, Kiyoshi Suzaki offers a framework for successfully conducting business at its most crucial point-the shop floor. Drawing on the principles of holistic management, where organizational boundaries are smashed and co-destiny is created, Suzaki demonstrates how modern shop floor management techniques -- focusing maximum energy on the front line -- can lead to dramatic improvements in productivity and valueadded-to-services.

The role of management today, Suzaki argues, is to eliminate its own responsibilities by thinking of the organization from the genba, or shop floor, point of view. In this challenge, Suzaki claims, organizations need to collect the wisdom of people by practicing "Glass Wall Management," where organizations become transparent, enabling employees to contribute maximum creativity as opposed to blocking their potential with what he calls "Brick Wall Management." Further, to empower individuals to selfmanage their work and satisfy their customers, Suzaki asserts that they all should learn to manage their own "mini-company," where everybody is considered president of his or her area of responsibility.

Front-line supervisors, Suzaki shows, must develop a mission and goals and share them both up and downstream. He cites examples of the "shop floor point of view" -- McDonald's Corporation's legal staff learning how to sell hamburgers and fix milkshake machines; Honda's human resource staff training on the assembly line -- that narrow the gap between top management and the shop floor. By upgrading people's skills, focusing on empowerment, and streamlining processes, Suzaki illustrates that an organization will realize concrete improvements in quality, cost, delivery, safety, morale, and ultimately, its competitive position.

I had to grow up to understand...........2006-05-24

It may sound unlikely, but ... I worked in the company which had implemented the NSFM! Unfortunately:
1. NSFM has detoriated now, and it is never more the NSFM company.
2. I understand what NSFM is all about after 3 years since I left this NSFM company. Now I try to implement NSFM based on this book. The book is very helpful unless to change people mind is long-term work (for years not months, esp. when you are mid-manager, so you have to work in both direction - towards top exec. and down).

Worth reading, understanding and implementing.... (togehter with lean manufacturing).

I had a copy of this book for years and lost it recently. Although I remember so much of it by heart I bought another copy as it is one of the most timeless, relevant and clearly written books on deploying visual production controls. I thought that was testimony enough to the value of the book.

Top 10 qualities wanted in a job and how to deliver them........1998-08-31

This small but very popular book is in its second edition and selling well. Based on the top 10 qualities people want in a job from a study done in 1985, these are laid out along Maslow's hierarchy of needs so that a supervisor knows what needs are basic and what needs are more advanced. This simple approach helps both new supervisors who don't know where to begin and seasoned supervisors who don't know why things aren't working.

A new chapter on empowerment was added for the 1993 second edition. Pages to record your progress in solving motivation problems and ways to analyze what individuals may be suffering from are included.

A Solid Effort!.......2001-09-22

At its best, Empowering Employees by Kenneth L. Murrell and Mimi Meredith illustrates the vogue concept of worker empowerment as it relates to real-life business, devoid of the touchy-feely clichés such nomenclature may evoke. The book cannot completely avoid a collapse into idealism and jargon however, and long sections of several chapters amount to cheery descriptions of the motivated and satisfied employees that empowerment will breed. These breezy passages fortunately are grounded by examples of companies like Toyota and AT&T that have embraced empowerment - or portions of it - to great success. So if employee-burnout is an issue in your office, or if you are looking for an easy-to-digest explanation of one of today's most popular management trends, we [...] recommend this book to you.

Practical Wisdom.......2001-03-30

Murrell and Meredith have succeeded in bringing together the empowerment research and experience in a very useful book. Instead of reading every book-of-the-moment, read this one. It will talk with you in your language; it will build your confidence that you can do something with what you are reading. Empowering employees happens in face-to-face encounters with them--that's when you need to know what to do, and the authors know that. Besides that, I just flat enjoyed reading this book. And, it's a bargain!

Book Description

After briefly considering the demands by global competition for high levels of skills, this highly accessible and practical book shows how a low priority on learning and widespread wasteful training has stemmed from the hierarchical organization and been reinforced by short term financial views. Using examples from all sizes of business, it shows that the only way organizations can counteract the resulting low performance is to develop a genuine team working culture. Team skills are dissected down to the basic interpersonal skills and attitudes neglected or marginalized by Western TQ philosophy. These are identified as the core skills of learning and collaborative relationships between manager, employee, supplier and customer, which are characteristic of successful companies. Traditional barriers to trainers' effectiveness are listed followed by suggestion for strategies for gaining top management commitment to culture change for overcoming these barriers.

Book Description

Léon Foucault's name is synonymous with his famous pendulum experiment, which proved to all that the Earth rotated. This illustrated biography traces the life and achievements of one of the last great amateur scientists. His contributions to science went well beyond his pendulum--the gyroscope; laboratory measurements of the speed of light; and the invention of methods to make perfect optical surfaces.
