Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thisbook is the fruit of a number of years of assimilating another culture and learning about the evolution of its institutions, altogether an incr- iblyrich andrewarding experience. Ihopetopassonto the reader some of that richness in the belief that, even in a “globalizing” context, learning about other nations and cultures is more and more necessary. The reasons andvalues behind this belief are perhaps evident,but I amconvincedthat they bear repeating here. To begin with, the hasty generalizations that often liebehind the cynicism—and ultimately the violence—of ethnocentrism and xe- phobia are still being aired today and still need to be fought, even in “unified and advanced” regions of the world like Europe and the United States. The historical and social sciences disciplines need to be solicited constantly in this combat, even though they themselves are terrains of controversy and contestation. I personally have not lost faith in their “progressive” potential and character. Second, my belief is that only through this process of appeal to these disciplines and their findings can we resist a dangerous contemporary slide into simplisticand sensation- ist pictures of the world—viewpoints often associated with an implicit assumption that social and economic change are linear processes, so- how unfolding according to the same neat “logic” wherever they are at work.

Book excerpt: Managing skills is at the core of Human Resources Management. Based on previous literature and realized with researchers from Magellan, the Research Center in Management of iaeLyon, Skills Management examines how skills can be analyzed at the individual and collective levels, and investigates the focus on different types of skills – including technical, soft, learning, leadership and emotional skills. The book examines how skills management is applied in various contexts and for various populations, cultures and profiles, with examples ranging from middle managers having to develop organizational skills in a changing environment, to engineers having to develop soft skills beyond their technical skills; from police officers developing emotional skills, to the new skills that are needed when a hospital introduces a new approach to shared leadership. In the concluding chapter, this book also investigates how it is sometimes difficult to focus on skills development when organization needs are focused on flexibility.

Download or read book Managing Competences written by Benoit Grasser and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2021-04-21 with total page 287 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Managing Competences: Research, Practice, and Contemporary Issues draws together theoretical and practical research in competence management. It provides a wealth of knowledge concerning emerging and contemporary issues, such as the multilevel approach to competence, the development of collective competence, the strategies of competence management, and the tools for managing competences as well as the organizational dynamics of competences. Moreover, the book provides a critical approach to research and practitioners’ continued engagement in competence management research and practice. Research in competence management has more recently entered an era more open to doubt and questioning: Is there a solid theoretical foundation that supports the concept of competence? What is the contribution of research on employees’ competences to human resources management in particular, and more generally to management? Is there not a risk of diluting the concept of competence by considering it at the individual, collective, organizational, and strategic levels? Today, is it still possible to manage competences in a world where the boundaries of the organizations are more and more porous? These questions, and many others, probably explain why a field that seemed well-identified and well-structured yesterday, has given way today to new, highly diverse analyses of competences by researchers and practitioners. This contributed volume seeks to answer these pressing issues and is a collective means for responding to them. The book brings together multiple streams of research in the field about emerging and contemporary issues, including multidimensional HRM systems, the rise of forms of collaborative management, the intensification of the use of digital and robotic technologies, the rise of the regime of remote and networked operations, the increasing heterogeneity of the status of workers, and changes in regulations concerning work and its recognition.

Download or read book Ma trise des co ts en restauration collective written by POINTET Isabelle and published by Lavoisier. This book was released on 2013-09-01 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Maîtriser les coûts est essentiel pour assurer la rentabilité et la pérennité d'une entreprise. S'il est un domaine où la maîtrise des coûts n'est pas chose aisée, c'est bien celui de la restauration collective : le prix des produits est un élément décisif, les budgets dévolus à la nourriture sont strictement encadrés, et ce secteur en forte croissance est en proie à d'importantes pressions avec notamment la prise de conscience des problématiques de l'alimentation. L’enjeu est donc double : les entreprises de restauration collective doivent s'adapter aux spécificités de leurs clients, tout en respectant les nouvelles recommandations en termes de nutrition. La maîtrise des coûts suppose alors une gestion quotidienne rigoureuse et le recours à des outils mathématiques afin de prévoir, d'anticiper et de comparer, amenant ainsi les entreprises à édicter des règles très strictes en la matière. Cet ouvrage pratique et didactique a pour principal objectif d'aider les professionnels de la restauration collective à mettre en place des outils simples et efficaces de gestion des coûts. Sont étudiées et passées en revue de façon très précise et concise les différentes étapes à maîtriser impérativement telles que les notions de base, la négociation des contrats, l'élaboration des menus, la prise de commandes, l'approvisionnement, la production, la distribution et les services supports. Enfin, une analyse critique des méthodes abordées dans l'ouvrage est proposée. Maîtrise des coûts en restauration collective s’adresse non seulement à toutes les entreprises, quelle que soit leur taille, proposant un service de restauration collective, mais également à tous les professionnels concernés par cette thématique tels que les industries agroalimentaires et les collectivités locales.
