Hierarchische Controllingkonzeption: Theoretische Fundierung eines koordinationsorientierten Controlling
Carsten Homburg Manufacturer: Physica-Verlag Heidelberg ProductGroup: Book Binding: Hardcover ASIN: 3790814164 |
Book Description
Ziel der Untersuchung ist es, einen formal-analytischen hierarchischen Rahmen verteilter Entscheidungsfindung zu schaffen, in dem sich die zentralen Bewertungsprobleme einer koordinationsorientierten Controllingkonzeption behandeln lassen. Der Ansatz soll dem großen Spektrum an Koordinationsmechanismen, wie sie insbesondere in dezentralen Organisationen zur Verfügung stehen, Rechnung tragen. Durch einen übergreifenden Rahmen, die hierarchische Controllingkonzeption, wird der Grundstein zur theoretischen Fundierung der noch recht jungen betriebswirtschaftlichen Disziplin des koordinationsorientierten Controlling gelegt. Auf dieser theoretischen Grundlage lassen sich Ansätze zur Koordination im Team und bei opportunistischen Entscheidern analysieren. Einen Schwerpunkt der Arbeit bildet die Untersuchung der Prozeßkostenrechnung als Koordinationsinstrument des strategischen Controlling.

She has some great course models in the book that I'm finding useful as I re-work many of my programs to include more reviews. I was guilty of saying 'yes, I do reviews in my class' when I really only did them at the end of the day. Catherine's approach makes for much more robust training design to ensure participants know! A simple, straightforward approach to higher retention in the training room.

Weed Seeds of the Great Plains: A Handbook for Indentification
Linda W. Davis Manufacturer: University Press of Kansas ProductGroup: Book Binding: Hardcover Similar Items:
ASIN: 0700606513 |
Book Description
Seeds, as small and unobtrusive as they seem, are an essential part of the life cycle of plants. In addition, they are useful for indentification of plants and, in fact, are often superior for that purpose that other parts of a plant.That's because seeds have distinctive characteristics, tend to outlast all other plant parts, and vary little within a species--unlike other parts such as leaves.
Since weeds interfere with the growth, harvesting, and quality of crops, Linda Davis says, the ability to identify weed seeds before they are indavertently planted affords an economic advantage. Other weed-control measures--herbicides and mechanical removal of unwanted plants--are enormously costly in comparison.
Lavishly illustrated with more than 600 photographs and drawings, this handbook provides information about the seeds of 280 species of weedy plants of the Great Plains, including ones commonly found in crops, rangeland, lawns, and along roadsides.
This is the only book available that covers a large number of Great Plains plants. For each species it provides a high-quality color photograph showing minute details, a black-and-white life-size silhouette (against which actual seeds can be compared), and a full description. An easy-to-use set of finding lists facilitates identification of unknown seeds. Both scientific and common names are used throughout, and an illustrated glossary clarifies technical terms.

Astronomical Myths Based on Flammarion's History of the Heavens
John Freeman Blake Manufacturer: Kessinger Publishing ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback ASIN: 0766165965 |
Book Description
1877. This book is founded upon a French work by M. Flammarion which enjoyed considerable popularity. It contained a number of interesting accounts of the various ideas, sometimes mythical, sometimes intended to be serious, that had been entertained concerning the heavenly bodies and our own earth; with a popular history of the earliest commencement of astronomy among several ancient people. In the early days, astronomy was so mixed up with all the affairs of life, and contributed so much even to religion, that a history of its beginnings is found to reveal the origin of several of our ideas and habits, now quite unconnected with the science. Illustrated.

The Sixth Sense: Accelerating Organisational Learning with Scenarios
Kees van der Heijden , Ron Bradfield , George Burt , George Cairns , and George Wright Manufacturer: Wiley ProductGroup: Book Binding: Hardcover Similar Items:
ASIN: 0470844914 |
Book Description
This book helps managers move beyond the idea that the future of business will resemble the past and allows them to use scenarios to imagine multiple perspectives. The concepts of organizational realities, experience, and beliefs are explored to encourage and embrace change in business organizations for a successful future.Download Description
"This book is about organizational survival: the reasons why organizations do not always survive, and what can be done about it. Survival means creating value for stakeholders, and the survival problem starts with uncertainty, change and the need for organizations to adapt to shifting needs and market conditions. The key question is 'Why are organizations slow to change and adapt?' Unsuccessful organizations are distinguished by their failure to overcome thinking and behavioural flaws at personal, organizational and community levels. In this book, we explain what these flaws are and how the scenario approach helps senior managers and organizations to overcome them. Our approach is based on reasoning, research, real world observations - and a long track record developing scenario-based thinking, combining the most effective elements of the many scenario approaches that have been tried over time.Customer Reviews:
Insightful!.......2004-03-02
Scenario conversations as agents of change.......2003-08-06
Book Description
The theory of complex responsive processes and its implications for those working within organizations has become the focus of increasing interest in recent years. This is in good part due to the success of the editors' previous groundbreaking theory, Complexity and Emergence in Organizations.
In this innovative new series, the editors have focussed on what these ideas mean for practitioners tackling real organizational issues, and how they can be used to make sense of the changes and challenges which organizations must face. This book introduces and explores the possible meanings of the idea of "working live." It makes sense of the sense-making experience itself, drawing attention to the way ideas and concepts emerge "live" in all conversations in organizations. An appreciation of the open-ended, improvisational nature of ongoing human communication becomes key to such an understanding. The chapters, all written by experienced managers and consultants, explore:
· How various forms of improvisation in social interaction can inform ways of appreciating how those links are forged
· How these insights can illuminate the challenges of managing, developing and changing organizational practices
In Experiencing Risk, Spontaneity and Improvisation in Organizational Life, Shaw and Stacey explore, through the real-life experiences of practicing managers, some of the emerging themes and practical insights that can be drawn from an improvisational view of organizational life. With contributions from managers in both the private and public sectors, the book explores human communication skills and interactions to provide a unique exploration of "working live". It will be of interest to advanced students and practitioners.

Dimensions of Change: Conceptualising Reality in Organisational Research
Lars Bo Henriksen , Lennart Norreklit , Kenneth Molbjerg Jorgensen , Jacob Bohme Christensen , and David O'donnell Manufacturer: Copenhagen Business School Press ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback ASIN: 8763001292 |
Book Description
Since Heraclitus change has baffled, perplexed and bemused. Organisational change is no exception; such change is an empirical fact but the extant conventional literature largely fails to enhance our understanding of this phenomenon. Conventional theories, models and methods do not possess the means of facilitating real understanding for either practitioners or researchers.This book is a contribution to the development of theory and method on organisational change through interactions with real people in real organisations. Grounded in a theory of reality, based on a particular conceptualising method, and illustrated with reference to real case studies, the authors explicate how to do both theory and method on organisational change in a novel, concise and very readable way. Reality is constructed by integrating four key dimensions: facts, logic, values and communication; these provide the material for the introductory chapters with the overall understanding of method emerging as one works through the remaining chapters. Insights from mainly continental philosophy and social science are used to illustrate the key arguments throughout. Conventional approaches are usually concerned with definitions and outcomes; in contrast this book strongly emphasises the change process itself, the discourse of change with respect to both real actors and observants, and how new realities are constructed. The book admirably fills the gap between the "what is" of conventional theory and "how to" of a much more pragmatic critically modernist approach to both studying and doing organisational change.

Foreign at Home and Away: Foreign-Born Wives in the U.S. Foreign Service
Margaret Bender Manufacturer: Writers Club Press ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback Similar Items: ASIN: 0595225217 |
Book Description
An Indian-born foreign service officer killed in the U.S. embassy bombing in Nairobi, Kenya. An Austrian-born doctor who volunteered her medical skills in Japan, South Vietnam, and Iran. A French-speaking woman from a remote village in Gabon. These are just three of the women whose stories are told in this bookÂwomen born in other countries who, through their marriages to American diplomats, became representatives of the United States. While they experience immigrant life in a unique way, they share the challenges faced by other women in cross-cultural marriages away from their own countries.Customer Reviews:
Wonderfully written and insightful.......2002-06-21
diplomatic life with a twist.......2002-06-07
The women quoted in Bender's book, though, are especially brave, because for love they have left the familiar and ventured into the distinctly foreign. Not only do they have their new diplomatic postings to contend with, but also the adoption and integration of their husband's cultures. While American-born spouses might eventually feel that they have gone home when they return to Washington for a tour, these foreign born spouses do not even have that relief.
For anyone contemplating life as a foreign service spouse, this book is highly recommended. I would also recommend it to the employed diplomats, who, after reading it, may understand better what their spouses have to experience with the lifestyle.
