Book excerpt: This book aims at exploring the link between corporate and organizational culture, public and private policies, leadership and managerial skills or attitudes, and the successful implementation of work-related healthcare in Europe. Therefore it brings together a wide range of empirical and theoretical contributions from occupational health, management, psychology, medicine, economics, and (organizational) sociology to address the question of how to sustainably promote occupational health. Such important questions are explored as: What aspects of a corporate culture can be associated with health issues? How does leadership style affect the health of employees? How are health-related decisions in the workplace affected by the political environment? To what extent are interventions influenced by corporate culture, leadership and public policy? How can we make such interventions sustainable?

Book excerpt: Neuere Entwicklungen im Datenbank- und Informationssystembereich sind u.a. gekennzeichnet durch die Bereitstellung sehr m{chtiger semantischer bzw. objektorientierter Datenmodelle, um den Anforderungen aus sogenannten Nicht-Standardanwendungen wie z.B. dem B}robereich gerecht zu werden. Daraus ergeben sich unmittelbar neue Problemstellungen imHinblick auf die Entwurfs- und Modellierungsaufgaben, die mit dem Einsatz derartiger m{chtiger Datenmodelle verbunden sind. Betrachtet manandererseits Entwicklungstendenzen im Bereich der K}nstlichen Intelligenz, so wird Fragen der systematischen Entwicklung Wissensbasierter Systeme eine immer gr|~ere Wichtigkeit beigemessen. Dabei spielen u.a. Phasen-Systeme und damit verbunden der Aufbau geeigneter Modelle eine zentrale Rolle. Dementsprechend hat der 2. Workshop "Informationssysteme und K}nstliche Intelligenz" gerade das Gebiet der Modellierung als generelles Thema. Zielsetzung ist dabei, auf dem Gebiet derModellierung Gemeinsamkeiten und Unterschiede von Problemstellungen bzw. L|sungsans{tzen, die in den Fachdisziplinen K}nstliche Intelligenz und Informationssysteme/Datenbanksysteme identifiziert bzw. entwickelt worden sind, herauszuarbeiten. Damit soll gleichzeitig der Gedankenaustausch zwischen den beteiligten Fachdisziplinen gef|rdertund die Zusammenarbeit }ber Fachdisziplinen hinweg verbessert werden.

Download or read book Balanced Automation Systems written by Luis M. Camarinha-Matos and published by Springer. This book was released on 2013-06-05 with total page 465 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Towards Balanced Automation The concept. Manufacturing industries worldwide are facing tough challenges as a consequence of the globalization of economy and the openness of the markets. Progress of the economic blocks such as the European Union, NAFTA, and MERCOSUR, and the global agreements such as GATT, in addition to their obvious economic and social consequences, provoke strong paradigm shifts in the way that the manufacturing systems are conceived and operate. To increase profitability and reduce the manufacturing costs, there is a recent tendency towards establishing partnership links among the involved industries, usually between big industries and the networks of components' suppliers. To benefit from the advances in technology, similar agreements are being established between industries and universities and research institutes. Such an open tete-cooperation network may be identified as an extended enterprise or a virtual enterprise. In fact, the manufacturing process is no more carried out by a single enterprise, rather each enterprise is just a node that adds some value (a step in the manufacturing chain) to the cooperation network of enterprises. The new trends create new scenarios and technological challenges, especially to the Small and Medium size Enterprises (SMEs) that clearly comprise the overwhelming majority of manufacturing enterprises worldwide. Under the classical scenarios, these SMEs would have had big difficulties to access or benefit from the state of the art technology, due to their limited human, financial, and material resources.

Download or read book Employment Contracts and Well Being Among European Workers written by Nele De Cuyper and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-05-15 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Temporary employment contracts are now commonplace in business. However the move towards such employment structures has a significant, and hitherto little understood impact on 'the psychological contract' between employee and organizations. This book is amongst the first to tackle this problem. With detailed research findings from seven countries: Belgium, Germany, the Netherlands, Spain, Sweden, the UK and (for a non-European perspective) Israel, it presents an integrated model of the effects of temporary work. The model incorporates key recent trends, including the expansion of non-permanent employment as a persistent form of employment flexibility, the increasing importance of the psychological contract, and the diversity of the European labour market as a result of state legislation. By presenting the results of an overview of the research literature on this contemporary labour market trend this book is of real value to researchers, practitioners and policy makers.
Download or read book Influence of Psychological Factors on Product Development written by E.S. Kamata and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2006-01-19 with total page 422 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book focuses on the interrelationship of social, technical, and organizational aspects of and related to the product development process. It originated from activities in practice in industry and research laboratories. In order to ensure relative autonomy from the short-term economic interests of a given industrial branch or specific company, the research for this work was first conducted in pursuit of a PhD thesis intended to provide practice-oriented results. With the ansatz practice – theory – practice, a generalizable approach was achieved. It then evolved to cover additional issues brought forth by recent cases in the aerospace industry, among others. A combination of scientific methodologies is used to focus on the psychological factors that influence the quality of technical product development processes. The basic framework is provided by the grounded theory—a qualitative approach, in which data was not only collected by this author but is extended to cases from the history of technology described in the published literature. The inclusion of historical cases is possible, thanks to the availability of sufficiently detailed descriptions for examination in terms of the grounded theory principles. They appear in the Appendix. Cases cited were verified by comparing them with contrasting viewpoints from various sources. I was able to examine and complement some cases by contacting persons associated with the programs analyzed. Quantitative studies are also integrated in this research to verify the elements resulting from the grounded theory integration.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The capability to innovate in an on-going manner is emerging as a decisive key factor in today's world of business and work. The ability to stay competitive is becoming identical with the ability to innovate. This book originated from the research and development project “International Monitoring” and outlines the topic of innovative capability from a practice-oriented angle. Contributions of German and international experts offer an enlightening glimpse behind the scenes of innovations. The central issue is not the description of features of successful innovation processes or how innovations can be efficiently controlled and managed, but under which conditions they can emerge in the first place. In what way can individuals, organizations, networks and societies be enabled to continuously induce innovations?
