This book was released on 1992-02-01 with total page 119 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is frequently argued that U.S. corporations have shorter time horizons for planning and investment than their Japanese and German competitors. This argument, though widely accepted in studies of U.S. competitiveness, has rarely been examined in depth. Time Horizons and Technology Investments explores the evidence that some U.S. corporations consistently select projects biased toward short-term return and addresses factors influencing the time-related preferences of U.S. corporate managers in selecting projects for investment. It makes recommendations to policymakers and managers about policies to mitigate negative external influences and about strategies to remove internal biases toward noncompetitive decisions.

The prevalent land grab in the Third World now will develop into putting a whole nation on sale if a fortune will be offered to the citizens of target country. Thus, China will use its immense foreign currency reserve to annex a small country like Solomon Islands in the beginning stage, and then expand further into Eurasia. Likewise, other world powers will expand territories by the will of incorporated citizens. In result, political map of the world will differ much from current world.

The gloomy prospect of food & energy will exacerbate the anxiety of contemporaries until awakened leading countries devoting to reverse the nightmare.

Download or read book Production Ergonomics written by Cecilia Berlin and published by Ubiquity Press. This book was released on 2017-06-28 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Production ergonomics – the science and practice of designing industrial workplaces to optimize human well-being and system performance – is a complex challenge for a designer. Humans are a valuable and flexible resource in any system of creation, and as long as they stay healthy, alert and motivated, they perform well and also become more competent over time, which increases their value as a resource. However, if a system designer is not mindful or aware of the many threats to health and system performance that may emerge, the end result may include inefficiency, productivity losses, low working morale, injuries and sick-leave. To help budding system designers and production engineers tackle these design challenges holistically, this book offers a multi-faceted orientation in the prerequisites for healthy and effective human work. We will cover physical, cognitive and organizational aspects of ergonomics, and provide both the individual human perspective and that of groups and populations, ending up with a look at global challenges that require workplaces to become more socially and economically sustainable. This book is written to give you a warm welcome to the subject, and to provide a solid foundation for improving industrial workplaces to attract and retain healthy and productive staff in the long run.

Book excerpt: : In the middle of eighty, a few of our friends organized a tour to London. A travel company arranged the tour, securing accommodation in a hotel in London. During my stay in London, I expressed my willingness to the tour operator to visit my friend Amit Kumar Singh. As co-villager, we were enjoying our friendship from childhood. He jumped various stages of the regular system of education on his merit. We continued our relationship by the exchange of letters, though not regularly, but intermittently. These days, the myths concerned with eating cow flesh in the west have no relevance. Intercontinental food availabilities have varieties of options. Still, the Hindus of India had a reservation to treat the cow as a mother. I reached his residence early morning. He and his wife welcomed me heartily. He informed me that he had three sons, the first were twins and the third was three years after the birth of the twin. His sons were patronized by his mother-in-law to inherit her vast business empire., When I expressed my desire to take departure, he gave me two diaries and requested me to write about him. Months took to correlate incidents of his life to ink on paper. No doubt, his correspondence became a valued tool to connect several links. I can assure you his biopic is worth reading
