Download or read book HUMAN LEARNING From Learning Curves to Learning Organizations written by Ezey M. Dar-El and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-03-14 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Learning plays a fundamental role in the production planning and growth of all organizations. With the need for more rapid changes in the global economy, the management of organizational change is a key factor in sustaining competitiveness in today's economy. This book has been developed with these `learning needs' in mind. Human Learning:From Learning Curves to Learning Organizations covers a broad range of learning models and related topics beginning with learning curves to recent research on learning organizations. The book's focus is to enable researchers and practitioners to forecast any organization's `learning needs' using the prediction aspects of an array of learning models. The book includes research and application discussions on topics such as accounting for previous experience; the `learning-forgetting-relearning' phenomenon; parameter estimation with no previous experience; DeJong's incompressibility model; predictive learning models requiring only two learning parameters; long learning cycle times; the speed-error relationship; evaluating the cost of learning from the point of view of safety; and an examination of Learning Organizations. Each chapter is developed from published research and worked examples are used throughout.
Download or read book Blind Curves written by Linda Crill and published by Skyhorse. This book was released on 2014-11-18 with total page 269 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After months of following one-size-fits-all advice for a fifty-seven-year-old widow, Linda Crill is still miserable, until she makes a rebellious spur-of-the-moment decision: she trades her corporate suits for motorcycle leathers and commits herself to a 2,500-mile road trip down America’s Pacific Northwest coast on a Harley. The problem—she doesn’t know how to ride and has only thirty days to learn. Four short weeks later, Linda joins two men and a woman for a white-knuckled, exhilarating road trip along the west coast from Vancouver, Canada, to the wine country of Mendocino, California. Along the way she encounters washed-out mountain roads, small town hospitality, humming redwoods, and acceptance from gentle souls who happen to have tattoos and piercings. By heading into the unknown—the blind curve—she faces her fears, tests old beliefs, and discovers not only a broader horizon of possibilities to use in building the next phase of her life, but also the fuel to make it happen. Funny, irreverent, and extraordinarily honest, it’s the perfect read for people looking for ways to reinvent themselves, and anyone asking: “What now?”

Download or read book More Than a Fling A steamy feel good holiday romcom written by Christa Wick and published by Christa Wick. This book was released on 2020-06-10 with total page 119 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Laney: It all started with a blind date. For him, at least. Me? I didn't even know I was on a date with the guy. Because I wasn't. Long story. Right place, right time, unsuspecting new PR client and meddlesome matchmaking friends. Talk about an awkward first impression--with me being the awkward one. I regrouped though, gotta give me that. And now all I have to do this holiday season is not fall for the gruff, gritty, secret do-gooder with a surprisingly sweet side (buried a mile or so under a grinchy, ridiculously hot exterior). Yep, easy peasey... Gary: Hell, of course the smart, sweet woman I thought was my blind date would turn out to be my new PR guru from New York. Just my luck. No big deal though. Spending the winter working with an impossibly cute woman on a project I've put my blood and sweat into doesn't sound half bad. Yeah, I'm aware my friends think a sparks-flying romance is unfolding here, but come on now. We don't even live in the same state. And let's be real, the universe would have to be seriously drunk to pick my grumpy ass to be the hero of some holiday romcom... Author’s Note: This brand new sweet & steamy standalone short is actually a crossover novella with cameos (aka meddling) by a few characters you may recognize from the Irresistible Curves series (Claiming Her Curves and Capturing Her Curves) and the Untouchable Curves series (Curvy Seduction), not to mention a quick run-in with the fabulous matriarch of the His to Claim series herself. So many worlds colliding, so much fun making it happen. You don’t have to have read any of the other books to read this standalone, but if you have read them, I hope you enjoy getting to catch up with them all as they meddle the heck out of Laney & Gary’s hot happily-ever-after. ***Previously titled Hot Nights Winter Lights - same cute story, just with a fresh title/cover makeover***

Book excerpt: I’ve got a giant phobia I need to get over by a very important deadline, along with a best friend gunning for meddler of the year. Her mission? To get me over my fear—and under her brother—in a two-birds-one-stone plan that I could strangle her for executing. This right here is why I’ve never told her how I’ve felt about her older brother all these years. This exact, disturbing reason. Because as far as crushes on the big bad brother of childhood best friends go, imagine the hottest, most swoonworthy, and intensely protective man you can, add more muscles than you could lick in a lifetime, then throw a Navy SEAL uniform on him. Yeah, that’s Corwin Hale. And now that Corwin knows about my hidden fear and hidden feelings, he’s taking matters into his own hands. For the record, his methods? Highly effective.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the most profound changes in business and society is the emergence of the post-Millennial generation, Gen Z. While every new generation has faced its share of disruption in technology, economics, politics and society, no other generation in the history of mankind has had the ability to connect every human being on the planet to each other and in the process to provide the opportunity for each person to be fully educated, and socially and economically engaged. What might this mean for business, markets, and educational institutions in the future? In this revolutionary new book, The Gen Z Effect: The Six Forces Shaping the Future of Business, authors Tom Koulopoulos and Dan Keldsen delve into a vision of the future where disruptive invention and reinvention is the acknowledged norm, touching almost every aspect of how we work, live and play. From radical new approaches to marketing and manufacturing to the potential obliteration of intellectual property and the shift to mass innovation, to the decimation of our oldest learning institutions through open source and adaptive learning, The Gen Z Effect provides a mind-bending view of why we will need to embrace Gen Z as the last, best hope for taking on the world’s biggest challenges and opportunities, and how you can prepare yourself and your business for the greatest era of disruption, prosperity, and progress the world has ever experienced.
