Book excerpt: Carmakers by worldwide known expert in car engines Professor Cornel Stan is a fascinating novel about the conflicts and tension within the car manufacturing industry. Carmakers—men and women endowed with excellent imagination, creative power, perseverance, discipline, but also with passions, dreams and fears. They invent and develop the cars of the future, be they equipped with electric drive, with hydrogen fuel cells, with mixed engines or with turbojets as found in planes. Two giants on the car market come forward with two of the most risky car concepts. The process through which these concepts emerge takes us through factories, institutes and airports, over mountains, islands and oceans—from Berlin, Paris and Detroit to San Francisco and Sydney. This road is impregnated with a maximum of tension, dynamism, intrigue and love. "Books about cars there are many; but exciting literature? In the novel Carmakers, Professor Cornel Stan gives insider insights into the horsepower-led world of the vehicle industry."

Download or read book Knowledge Management written by Shaofeng Liu and published by Kogan Page Publishers. This book was released on 2020-01-03 with total page 385 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As knowledge economies become increasingly important around the world, it is essential that organizations are able to transform their knowledge into a competitive advantage. This textbook offers an interdisciplinary approach to knowledge management written specifically for postgraduate students in business and management schools. Knowledge Management presents classic and advanced concepts, models and frameworks using a clear logical structure, which covers building knowledge competence, the knowledge lifecycle, and integration of knowledge management with business decision making. An overall framework illustrates links between chapters and ensures readers can gain a body of actionable knowledge rather than learning isolated, uncontextualized topics. Based on cutting-edge research findings and covering the most advanced IT and IS technologies, this book emphasises the need for knowledge management to span boundaries across organizations, supply chains and partnerships, rather than being limited to individual learning and sharing within businesses. Knowledge Management is international in scope and includes real world case studies and role play scenarios to show how theories are applied in practice, and "think back" and "critique discussion" questions to encourage reflective learning and critical thinking. This indispensable text provides a dynamic picture of the evolution of knowledge management and demonstrates its full potential to enable better business decisions. Accompanying online resources include PowerPoint slides for lecturers and exercise questions for students.
Download or read book America s Other Automakers written by Timothy J. Minchin and published by University of Georgia Press. This book was released on 2021-04-01 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 2018 almost half of all vehicles made in North America were produced at foreign-owned plants, and the sector was on track to monopolize the market. Despite this, the industry has been overlooked compared with its domestic counterpart, both in scholarship and popular memory. Redressing this neglect, America’s Other Automakers provides a new history of the foreignowned auto sector, the first to extensively draw on archival sources and to articulate the human agency of participants, including workers, managers, and industry recruiters. Timothy J. Minchin challenges the view that the industry’s growth primarily reflected incentives, stressing human agency and the complexity of individual stories instead. Deeply human in its approach, the book also explores the industry’s impact on grassroots communities, showing that it had more costs than supporters acknowledged. Drawing on a wide range of primary and secondary sources, America’s Other Automakers uncovers significant tensions over unionization, reports of discriminatory hiring, and unease about the industry’s rapid growth, critically exploring seven large assembly facilities and their impact on the communities in which they were built.
Download or read book Sustainability Is the Future written by Tay Kay Luan and published by Partridge Publishing Singapore. This book was released on 2020-09-25 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The overwhelming evidence produced by scientific and economic experts shows clearly that sustainability dangers of climate change can be far worse than the disruptions caused by Covid-19 pandemic. The adverse consequences of climate change pose a real threat to humanity. Adverse impacts to the environment threaten food security and its interdependency which the entire social system is relying on. The UN Sustainable Development Goals have given global communities and their leaders a vision of the future, clarity of purpose, a responsibility for all to embrace and a commitment for all to participate. Within this context, ‘Sustainability is the future’ reminds readers of the opportunities and the alternatives towards mitigating the economic and social risks posed by the dangers of mounting sustainability concerns. A longer-term solution involves a massive shift in the attitudes and actions. There are available technologies and digital means, but accessibility and affordability remain a challenge. At no time in the history of humanity has there been a more urgent need for political and community leaders to take appropriate actions towards achieving the sustainable development goals. There is enough evidence that governments partnering a broad range of stakeholders can meet this expectation. The book debates what needs to be done, as well as reminding readers that failure to do so will leave the fragile earth in a more fractured state and make it harder to repair. The clock is already ticking

Download or read book How Asia Got Rich written by Edith Terry and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-05-20 with total page 771 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Within a few short months in 1997, Asian economies that had been considered not only healthy but "miraculous" suddenly fell off a precipice as investors withdrew massively first from Asian currencies and, in rapid order, from equity markets across the region. On October 27 1997, the turmoil in Asian markets spooked Wall Street in the largest single-day decline in history, a drop of 550 points. It was predicted that the Asian crash could drive the US trade deficit from $191 billion to $300 billion by 1998, creating huge new tensions in relations with some of the largest US trading partners. These wrenching changes, following a generation of success, raise numerous questions about the steps that led to the crisis, its likely outcome and the limits and constraints of "Asian capitalism". Edith Terry presents a blow-by-blow account of the crisis, beginning with the 1996 collapse of the Bangkok Bank of Commerce. In her overview, she links the fall of the Asian miracle with the theme of globalization, arguing that the crisis demonstrates the urgency of dismantling restraints to trade, investment, and financial services, and that the United States should take leadership in pushing for new and sweeping reform through the World Trade Organization and in bilateral negotiations with its trading partners. The final section of the book deals with the rise of the "Asian miracle" - how the myth was created, who created it, why it succeeded for so long - and is informed by analysis of the Japanese prototype.
