Download or read book Organisation and Work Beyond 2000 written by Birger Rapp and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-02-02 with total page 381 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The fifth International Telework Workshop was held in Stockholm in the fall of 2000. The conference was attended by almost 100 participants from all continents of the world. It therefore covered a broad range of subjects relating to Telework. Its success was in some part due to the work of the program committee composed of Birger Rapp (General Chairman), Maarten Botterman, Geoff Dick, Gil Gordon, Ursula Huws, Paul Jackson, Peter Johnston, Patricia L. Mokhtarian, Victor de Pous, Lars Qvotrup, Wendy Spinks and Reirna Suomi. After the conference we decided to write a book on the theme "Organization and the future after 2000". Many of the participants as well as others were invited to contribute a chapter of about ten pages. The resulting book of almost 400 pages therefore provides a comprehensive overview of ongoing research in the field of Telework. Birger Rapp and Paul Jackson edited the book. The intended audience for this book spans disciplinary and professional boundaries. It primarily relates to the disciplines of Business and Management Studies, Information Management, E-commerce and E-business. In a broader sense, it relates to Sociology, Media Studies and Economics.

Download or read book The Logic of Organizations written by Bengt Abrahamsson and published by SAGE. This book was released on 1993 with total page 185 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Innovative and challenging. The Logic of Organizations explores organizational theory by focusing on the genesis of organizations and the conditions for their continued existence. Abrahamsson draws upon the classic theories of Marx, Weber, and Michels, as well as more contemporary developments in organizational theory, to present his unique theory - that organizations are deliberately designed social structures established by individuals, groups, or classes in order to implement specific goals. To effectively support his argument, the author concentrates on three critical areas of organizations: how to make organizations more efficient and more representative of the interests and objectives of their founders, and how to relieve the problems of bureaucracy, namely administrative groups working toward their own goals and objectives rather than those of the organization.
Download or read book Antigravity written by Marius Alexander Forselius and published by Fungal Friday Publishing. This book was released on 2017-12-15 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: **Alpha version, work in progress, see notice at the end of the text** Marius Alexander Forselius was born in Romania 1991, only a few years after the Romanian communist regime was overthrown in december 1989. He was adopted to Sweden in 1994, and got diagnostized with autism at five year age. In this book he explains the in and out of his life with his disorder, and describes how his life have been until now, with success and failures, and strategies to success. One thing he explains is how he through meditation and physical exercise could defy the gravity and get in contact with his feminine spirit, when he swim or meditate, and how the different twists in his life have gave him new insights and strength. For example, he explains about his water visualization meditation - which helped her to find his inner soul, after a fungal infection forced he to stop swimming, and how his ”virtual bathing” (as he explains), helped him to recover mentally from the fungal crisis and at the same time feel more confident in himself. With the computer as analogy, he explains how his brain works, like a computer system which ”iterates the whole tree structure” without filter to he context, and then being overload and freezes. And he also explains about his creative career, in music and software engineer studies, and how his music interest was the key to resolve the ’fungal crisis’. Note: This is a translation in ALPHA of my Swedish book "Jag Upphäver Gravitationen" that were a mixture of human and machine translation in order to be able to get an international version as soon as possible. Spelling and grammar errors might are present. I will provide a more accurate translation at a later time. This book contains a subset of the chapters from the original Swedish edition.
Download or read book Understanding the Basic Dynamics of Organizing written by Peter Peverelli and published by Eburon Uitgeverij B.V.. This book was released on 2010 with total page 163 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Organisation theory is a theoretical field of study distinct from more practical fields such as general management, organisational behaviour and human resource management. It is a basic science studying the ways human actors organise themselves into groups with various degrees of complexity. Organisation theory is not the study of organisations. Groups of actors referred to as 'organisations' in everyday parlance only constitute one part of the groups introduced in this text. Organisation theory is, therefore, a necessary tool not only for students of business administration, but also for those of a wide range of other academic fields, including sociology, cultural anthropology, public administration, education and philosophy.

Download or read book Making Meteorology written by Mikaela Sundberg and published by Stockholm University. This book was released on 2005 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis is about the production of knowledge in meteorological research. Meteorology is an interesting case because of its crucial role in defining the climate change problem, but also because of its reliance on simulation modeling, a comparatively little studied scientific practice. The thesis provides an analysis of the central practices of simulation modeling and field experimentation. It draws upon concepts from social world theory, where practice is closely related to work. The thesis also employs the notion of translation, as developed by the actor-network approach, in order to analyse how different practices and entities become associated with each other. Empirical data was collected with interviews and participant observation and most of the fieldwork was conducted at the Department of Meteorology, Stockholm University.

A working procedure demonstrating how to design and realize the production system is presented, together with a number of related production development aspects. Production Development: Design and Operation of Production Systems is illustrated with a large number of figures and industrial examples.

Download or read book Organization Theory and Public Management written by Jonathan R. Tompkins and published by Waveland Press. This book was released on 2023-08-16 with total page 432 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Organization Theory and Public Management is written for current and future public managers. Understanding organization theory helps managers at all levels define program objectives, overcome constraints, and accomplish mandated purposes. Armed with theoretical and conceptual knowledge, managers can better identify the factors that affect organizational performance, determine how these factors interrelate, and decide how best to resolve problems and attain goals. Familiarity with organization theory can facilitate fresh ways to view organizational challenges and discover new paths for pursuing change. Organization theory, supported by intuition and common sense, can be a powerful guide to action. The book approaches each organization theory school of thought on its own terms, drawing out its implications for public management as objectively as possible. Chapter 1 introduces organization theory as a field of study, chapter 2 establishes the unique context of public management, and chapter 3 presents three analytical frameworks for assessing the theories of organization covered in the twelve chapters that follow.
