Book Description

Learning and development is essential to organizational success. Training courses were traditionally used as the key method of teaching, but the focus is increasingly shifting to individuals and managers adopting a more flexible approach to learning. Organizations want to ensure that their employees are not just learning new skills, but are using their existing skills to maximum effect. Workplace Learning and Development guides managers and employees through the concept of workplace learning. It identifies the variety of flexible learning strategies and methods, explains how to select the right method for a specific situation, and illustrates how these methods can add value to overall performance. Real-life examples of workplace learning give readers insight into how the process works and how they can use these tools for their specific needs.

Book Description

There are countless books on the business shelf that focus on corporate culture, but their views are often too broad to address an organization's real needs. The subcultures within a company cannot be overlooked, and their disparities must be resolved for them to work together on a daily basis. For an organization to operate optimally, these subcultures must be aligned properly.

Aligning Organizational Subcultures for Competitive Advantage takes a hard look at the subcultures within modern corporations, and demonstrates how reconciling differences among them produces a corporate culture that give organizations a competitive advantage in the marketplace. Both a practical guide for managers and a valuable supplement for training in academic and organizational settings, this book focuses on the inner workings of organizational subcultures that can be aligned for purposes of achieving a mutually supportive corporate system.

Book Description

"Integrating thinking and acting is the name of the game in today's dynamic marketplace. . . . This book takes an important first step towards integrating theories of competitive advantage and . . . . organizational learning, a rapprochement which can come none too soon for the management practitioner." --Peter Senge, Director, Center for Organizational Learning, MIT Sloan School of Management "The chapters in this volume provide many important insights into how to integrate the different managerial functions and thus overcome one of the chief barriers to organizational learning." --Chris Argyris, Harvard Business School "This book unlike many others, odes not fall into the trap of simply regurgitating established ideas and theories. . . . it is rare for a group of authors to be able to unite tow paradigms: strategy and organizational learning." --Bernard Ramanantsoa, Dean of HEC-- Paris Organizations facing uncertain, changing, or ambiguous market conditions need to be able to learn. Organizational Learning and Competitive Advantage explores organizational learning as a key factor in achieving competitive advantage and links two disciplines together--strategic management and organizational behavior. In a lively transatlantic dialogue the contributors to this work forge a link between the strategic theories of management and the behaviors that affect their implementation. As the field of strategic management shifts to embrace a new emphasis on organizational capabilities and their development, organizational learning occupies an increasingly central place within the field. The diverse, multidiscplinary approaches contained in the volume are an important step toward providing and integrative theory of management. This book will appeal to a wide range of students in strategy and organizational behavior and management studies. From a learning standpoint, this volume is truly original, from a strategy standpoint, this work is visionary.

Book Description

"The book is readable and well organized. . . . I recommend this book to human resource professionals who are interested in bringing change to their organizations. This book's broader perspective on diversity provides insights that can lead the thoughtful reader toward innovative approaches for recruiting and training organizational members. " --Personnel Psychology "This book provides interesting reading as well as useful insights into managing by using all the human resources in an organization and helping people to learn how to continuously improve and develop. . . . A thought-provoking book that will be of interest to anyone concerned with innovation and organizational learning." --Journal of Managerial Psychology In this stimulating and accessible volume, the authors argue for building learning into the heart of our organizations. The first part of the text looks at people and discusses the diverse knowledge and contributions that different individuals and groups bring, and the importance of appreciating and working with diversity. The second part of the book is concerned with joint practice. Successful innovation occurs only when diverse individuals work effectively in teams and can learn from the outcomes of their actions. The authors explore effective teams, including the interaction of context, tasks, team roles and processes, and learning outcomes. Finally, the authors address knowing and learning as an organizational process. They present their model of this process, including the implications of information technology. They also address the crucial need to encourage development and create conditions where learning and innovation can flourish throughout an organization. Developing the Learning Organization is essential reading for students and professionals in human resources management, organizational psychology, and organizational change and development, as well as for all those concerned with issues of organizational learning and innovation.

Description:
During the last few decades, identifying and examining the characteristics of market-driven firms have been a dominant theme in strategic marketing research. It has been argued that market-driven firms are superior in their market sensing and customer linking capabilities, enabling market-driven firms to outperform their competitors. This paper reports the findings of a study that examines the role market-focused learning capability and marketing capability in innovation-based competitive strategy on sustainable competitive advantage. The findings indicate that entrepreneurship is an important factor in sustained competitive advantage (SCA) and while market-focused learning capability leads to higher degrees of innovation, marketing capability enables SCA.

Valued Resource with Assessment.......2003-12-08

In the past institutional knowledge has been dominated by individuals, an accumulation of knowledge over time mostly from experience or contacts. Specialists lacked multidisciplinary skills; teaming them together requires them to give up some of their individualism.

For some people their career advances with higher learning. For an organization the parallel is to advance as an organization, not just an individual.

In the global marketplace there is the need for West to meet East with successful case studies. This is the book.

However, the journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. In this books you will find the major steps to becoming a global learning organization. For example, there are four cultural phases for a GLO: domestic, international, multinational, and global.

An Global Learning Assessment System is proposed and then used to analyze a number of companies including ABB,Corning, Honda, Motorola, PPG Royal Bank of Canada, Samsung, Singapore Airlines, Tatung and Xerox.

In the Information Age, tapping the information from Knowledge Management. But it's not about information or knowledge, it's infusing people that work with excitement and passion in their work as they participate more in the company and in the global arena. In doing so, they advance themselves while advancing the company which in turn advances the bottom line.

Every strategic plan and operations plan should address the topic of global learning. THe assessment tools within this book make it required reading for the strategic planner and required use for the corporate executives.

Customer Reviews:

Excellent overview of the subject matter and well written!.......2003-03-20

The text provides an excellent overview of biotechnology for a person at the College level. The book is probably too shallow in depth for someone who wants to actually major in the subject matter. Nonetheless, the book serves its intended purpuse well to introduce biotechnology at a reaonably sophisticated level to the student. The book starts with the basics of organic chemistry principles and expands them to biochemistry. Well done!
All the important technological and commercial concepts relevant to biotechnology are present and explaned well through text as well as diagrams. Perhaps one aspect that science books don't emphasize is writting style. The books is extremely clear and well written and can probably serve as an example of good technical writting style. I highly recommend the book to anyone who is serious about wanting to understand Biotechnology. As long as you hand Freshmand chemistry this book should serve you.

Just the basics.......2002-07-16

If you are looking for a clear and interesting summary of many key concepts of Biotechnology, this book is for you. The author does a nice job of distilling the important concepts for both the scientist and layman alike. For the scientist, the book provides a nice review of the basics, and for the layman, it explains many difficult principles. At the end of each chapter the author also provides a lively discussion of some interesting practical applications and problems solved by Biotechnology.
