Book Description
In Productive Workplaces Revisited, Marvin Weisbord takes the next step in exploring effective strategies for improving workplace productivity through dignity, meaning, and community. Remarkably, in this new edition the author revisits the case studies from the first edition, Productive Workplaces, to show the long-term effects of OD interventions -- twenty-plus years after the fact and provides invaluable insights for practitioner and student alike. In five new chapters, Weisbord reinterprets his systems work in health care and steel-making, describes how “future search,” his method for “getting everybody improving whole systems,” has crossed cultures on five continents, and summarizes his learning from following up cases decades later. This edition also presents in-depth case studies of organizations that have used these techniques to increase output, cut costs, create strategic plans, manage conflict between functions, and more.Download Description

Book Description
Most large firms are controlled by shareholders, who choose the board of directors and can replace the firms management. In rare instances, however, control over the firm rests with the workforce. Many explanations for the rarity of workers' control have been offered, but there have been few attempts to assess these hypotheses in a systematic way. This book draws upon economic theory, statistical evidence, and case studies to frame an explanation. The fundamental idea is that labor is inalienable, while capital can be freely transferred from one person to another. This implies that worker controlled firms typically face financing problems, encounter collective choice dilemmas, and have difficulty creating markets for control positions within the firm. Together these factors can account for much of what is known about the incidence, behavior, and design of worker- controlled firms. A policy proposal to encourage employee buyouts is developed in the concluding chapter. Gregory L. Dow is Professor and Chair of the Department of Economics at Simon Fraser University, British Columbia, Canada. He previously taught at the University of Alberta and Yale University, and has served as a visiting professor at the University of New South Wales, the Erasmus Institute for Philosophy and Economics, and the Swedish Collegium for Advanced Studies in the Social Sciences. Professor Dow is Associate Editor on the Journal of Economic Behavior and Organization and has published numerous articles on labor-managed firms and other topics in economic theory in leading journals such as the American Economic Review and the Journal of Political Economy.Download Description

Book Description
This volume contributes to a growing consensus about effective workplace practices. The collection combines detailed studies of single industries (automobile assembly, apparel, and machine tools) with cross-industry studies of financial performance. Compared to most past investigations, the research here has better measures of both workplace practices and organizational performance. The contributors find that systems of innovative human resource management practices can have large effects on business performance. Success does not come from any single innovation, but from a coherent system encompassing pay, training, and employee involvement.

Book Description
Adult Education contradicts the theorists and practitioners who claim that empowering organizations can only be created when those at the top decide to share power. The emancipating educational processes are the tools of those who work within systems whether the issue is literacy, civil rights or democracy in the workplace. The Adult Education movement has linked its mission to cultivating the growth of democratic processes. Those people who work in organizations and are trying to improve their understanding of how to reshape the organization into a democratic workplace will find this useful.

Book Description
Through an examination of workplace participation, theoretical literature, and three case studies of participatory firms, Denning clarifies the difficult relationships between management and workers as both grapple with the transition toward greater employee decision-making power. Because different employees bring different attitudes and expectations for participation that affect how they interpret workplace changes, the implementation of greater worker input policies must carefully navigate these variables in order to develop a successful participatory workplace. This book questions the principal assumptions of participatory theory and offers an improved understanding of how to develop and practice employee participation. This book will be of interest to those in business and management as well as those in the field of democratic theory who seek to understand the increasingly important issue of constructive workplace participation.|

Book Description
The collection of presentations in this volume represents a satisfying balance between the rich subjects into which cosmology has matured over the past decades.
First, the contributions of the `Architects' discuss
fundamental
cosmology, focusing on the topology and geometry of our Universe and the fundamental physical laws and processes in the Very Early Universe.
Next, the `Constructors' discuss the ultimate realization of the cosmic framework with the recent determinations of the cosmological parameters which characterize the Friedmann-Robertson-Walker metric.
Finally, the `Interior Decorators' take care of the cosmic infrastructure, some concentrating on the work of gravity, some responsible for the formation of the megaparsec cosmic structure while others are heroically trying to combine gravitational, hydrodynamic, radiative, stellar, and a variety of other dissipative processes into a courageous attempt towards understanding the lights in the cosmos.
