Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although interest in ecological restoration has grown rapidly in recent years, restoration efforts have been highly empirical and have therefore been of only marginal interest to theoretical ecologists concerned with the structure and dynamics of communities. The ability to reassemble a community or ecosystem and to make it function properly actually represents a critical test of ecological understanding in the most fundamental sense. It is this idea of restoration as a technique - and even a paradigm - for ecological studies, leading in turn to improved restoration methods, that is the subject of this book.

Download or read book El proyecto estrat gico de la empresa written by José Miguel Ilundáin Vilà and published by ESIC. This book was released on 2010-02 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “El proyecto estratégico de empresa” trata de exponer los criterios empresariales y la metodología a utilizar en la reflexión con visión prospectiva que toda organización empresarial lleva periódicamente a cabo, a fin de anticiparse y adaptarse a las nuevas situaciones y demandas del entorno y el mercado, de tal forma que le permita gestionar de manera continua el cambio, analizar situaciones coyunturales y las tendencias sistémicas, captar nuevas oportunidades de aportación de valor y de negocio, marcar nuevas metas y nuevos horizontes y, en muchas ocasiones, combinando éxitos y avances con situaciones adversas. Esta nota técnica indica el proceso de análisis y toma de decisiones que requiere un proyecto empresarial desde la prospectiva estratégica, integradora de la actividad y los recursos de la empresa por un período de tiempo, trascendiendo la cotidianeidad de la gestión del negocio y enmarcando éste en una visión de futuro, que permita detectar oportunidades y abrir nuevas perspectivas de crecimiento y de desarrollo, a partir de las capacidades existentes. En síntesis, plantea el método de captación, análisis y comprensión de todos los factores que intervienen en la continua interrelación de fuerzas e intereses que actúan en el entorno y el mercado, así como la capacidad de transformación y adaptación y desarrollo de todas las capacidades de la empresa, de forma integrada y coherente. Esta adaptación de la organización empresarial al entorno y a sus diferentes mercados exige, por consiguiente, un conocimiento de los mismos y de la situación de la relación de cada uno de los proyectos y productos de la empresa con ellos, así como de la situación de cada una de las variables internas de la organización en relación no sólo con el entorno, tratado de forma genérica, sino con cada uno de los segmentos de mercado elegidos, de los proyectos y productos tomados individualmente, resolviendo o controlando de este modo el efecto de todas las contradicciones y problemas de cambio y ajuste que se presenten. El método de desarrollo del plan estratégico planteado aborda de forma concatenada entre sí los siguientes elementos: El método de prospección de la evolución del entorno y del mercado, el análisis y evaluación de la estrategia y la potencia de la concurrencia y competencia, la razón de ser o misión de negocio o servicio de la empresa, y su aportación diferenciada de valor a la sociedad y al mercado, la detección y evaluación de oportunidades, especialmente derivadas de los productos, conocimientos, tecnologías y capacidades existentes en la empresa y la capacidad de asimilación tecnologías y capacidades relacionadas que permitan a la empresa migrar controladamente hacia nuevos mercados y sectores. La estrategia competitiva como factor que permite focalizar los esfuerzos y los recursos principales de la empresa en el sentido deseado, los retos de desarrollo, así como los objetivos estratégicos, estructurados de forma integrada y coherente, y su conversión en factores controlables y planes de acción, interrelacionados horizontalmente, que incluyen metas susceptibles de evaluación, acciones o acontecimientos a realizar, tiempos en los que se van a llevar a cabo, recursos que se van a emplear, personas que los van a realizar y actividades que dejarán de hacer para poder emplear sus recursos.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For information on the online course in Biological Wastewater Treatment from UNESCO-IHE, visit: http://www.iwapublishing.co.uk/books/biological-wastewater-treatment-online-course-principles-modeling-and-design Over the past twenty years, the knowledge and understanding of wastewater treatment have advanced extensively and moved away from empirically-based approaches to a first principles approach embracing chemistry, microbiology, physical and bioprocess engineering, and mathematics. Many of these advances have matured to the degree that they have been codified into mathematical models for simulation with computers. For a new generation of young scientists and engineers entering the wastewater treatment profession, the quantity, complexity and diversity of these new developments can be overwhelming, particularly in developing countries where access is not readily available to advanced level tertiary education courses in wastewater treatment. Biological Wastewater Treatment addresses this deficiency. It assembles and integrates the postgraduate course material of a dozen or so professors from research groups around the world that have made significant contributions to the advances in wastewater treatment. The book forms part of an internet-based curriculum in biological wastewater treatment which also includes: Summarized lecture handouts of the topics covered in book Filmed lectures by the author professors Tutorial exercises for students self-learning Upon completion of this curriculum the modern approach of modelling and simulation to wastewater treatment plant design and operation, be it activated sludge, biological nitrogen and phosphorus removal, secondary settling tanks or biofilm systems, can be embraced with deeper insight, advanced knowledge and greater confidence.
