Download or read book Process Thinking written by Waymond Rodgers and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2006 with total page 135 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How many decisions do you think the average person makes in a day? How can these choices affect our lives, both positively and negatively? Author Waymond Rodgers illustrates four basic concepts of decision making in a single model that produces a limited number of possible courses of action. Process Thinking: Six Pathways to Successful Decision Making allows you to gauge which of the pathways is appropriate for a particular situation. This, in turn, can contribute an overall improvement in your happiness, relationships, finances, education, and employment. "Dr. Rodgers' breakthrough analysis of decision making should be mandatory reading for anyone managing people or negotiating transactions." -Hank Adler, C.P.A., accounting professor, Chapman University, and retired partner, Deloitte & Touche "I think your formulaic approach to decision making will make it much easier for people to make correct choices. Your approach forces decision makers to address the role their own subjective feelings (perceptions) have upon the process. It thereby makes the choice much more objective and rational." -Randall L. Erickson, J.D., partner in the California office of Crowell & Moring and chair of the firm's construction group

This book was released on 2011-12-04 with total page 380 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Increasingly, physicians are leveraging their medical training and expertise to pursue careers in non-traditional arenas. Their goals are diverse: · Explore consulting as a way to improve patient care · Lay the foundation for a career in academic medicine · Provide leadership in healthcare · Strengthen ties between a clinic and the community · Broaden one’s experience as a medical student · As a journalist or writer, open a window onto medicine for non-experts Some physicians will pursue another degree, while others may not, in anticipation of moving into public service, business, education, law, or organized medicine. Their common ground is the desire to enhance their professional fulfillment. Drs. Urman and Ehrenfeld’s book features individual chapters on the wide array of non-traditional careers for physicians, each one written by an outstanding leader in medicine who him- or herself has successfully forged a unique career path. A final chapter brings together fascinating brief profiles – “case studies” – of physicians who have distinguished themselves professionally outside of traditional settings. Suitable for readers at any point in their medical career – practitioners, fellows, residents, and medical students – who want to explore possibilities beyond traditional medical practice, the book also sets out common-sense advice on topics such as work-life balance, mentorship, and the relationship between personality and job satisfaction.

Download or read book Pathways to Power written by T. Douglas Price and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2010-08-20 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are few questions more central to understanding the prehistory of our species than those regarding the institutionalization of social inequality. Social inequality is manifested in unequal access to goods, information, decision-making, and power. This structure is essential to higher orders of social organization and basic to the operation of more complex societies. An understanding of the transformation from relatively egalitarian societies to a hierarchical organization and socioeconomic stratification is fundamental to our knowledge about the human condition. In a follow-up to their 1995 book Foundations of Social Inequality, the Editors of this volume have compiled a new and comprehensive group of studies concerning these central questions. When and where does hierarchy appear in human society, and how does it operate? With numerous case studies from the Old and New World, spanning foraging societies to agricultural groups, and complex states, Pathways to Power provides key historical insights into current social and cultural questions.
Download or read book Choice Pathways and Transitions Post 16 written by Stephen Ball and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-11-05 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This internationally appealing book is based on a two-year case study of a group of young people as they move through their final year of mandatory schooling and into their first year of post-16 experience. It looks at their choices, the market behaviour of local education and training providers and those who help and advise these choices. The authors show that recent and current political policies for post-16 education disadvantage, marginalise and exclude young people rather than improve their life chances. The book draws together the major issues and attempts to suggest alternative ways forward for a more inclusive post-16 education and training system.
Download or read book Pathways to State Welfare in Korea written by Gyu-Jin Hwang and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2017-03-02 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why has Korean social policy developed differently from that of other East Asian countries? While in many respects Korea can be compared with Taiwan, Hong Kong and Singapore, where economic development has been the chief priority of state action, Korea has also implemented extensive welfare reform, expanding its welfare provision even under recent conditions of economic downturn. Gyu-Jin Hwang traces the development of the Korean welfare state, providing a fascinating case study for observers of East Asian industrial growth and the public management of social risks. Arguing that the extension of state welfare presents a unique challenge to existing theoretical propositions underlying social policy development, he draws on detailed empirical analysis of key policy areas, namely public assistance, national pensions, health care and employment insurance. The book offers a definitive analysis of the development of Korean social policy programmes and the politics of implementing them. The book will be important reading for all those interested in comparative Social Policy and more specifically the development of Social Welfare in Asian countries.
Download or read book Pathways Through Adolescence written by Lisa J. Crockett and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 2014-03-05 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Adolescent researchers are increasingly aware that they must examine development both across time and across context. To do so, however, requires new conceptualizations and methodological approaches to the study of development, including attention to the pathways young people choose in adolescence and follow into adulthood. This volume assembles work by key researchers in the field who are struggling to understand how developmental trajectories are constructed and maintained throughout the adolescent period. A complete understanding of developmental pathways requires the recognition that adolescents' social contexts--family, school, neighborhood, and/or peer group--are important influences on the choices they make at this developmental period. Researchers have traditionally studied contexts in isolation rather than examining the interrelationships among contexts and their implications for adolescent development. The present volume seeks to address this gap in the literature, with attention given not only to the interrelationships among contexts for white, middle-class youth, but also to these issues for minority adolescents in neighborhoods that vary in terms of access to resources. It concludes with an examination of researcher-community collaboration as a strategy to move communities toward a greater awareness of adolescent development and the problems facing youth in their community, and as a means to promote potential avenues for policy change and intervention.
