Deming's Profound Changes
Author: Kenneth T. Delavigne
Publisher: Prentice Hall
ISBN:
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 308
Book Description
Increasingly, the demise of many businesses and organizations is being blamed on current western management practice--which can be traced directly back to the 19th century and Frederick Taylor's theory of scientific management. Although W. Edwards Deming proposed a new, more modern philosophy of management decades ago, the western world, instead, continued to practice Taylor's philosophy--by now adulterated and corrupted many times over into a new form of its own (neo-Taylorism). This volume explores--in depth--neo-Taylorism (where it came from and what its beliefs are), Deming's philosophy (his system of profound knowledge and his 14 points), and suggests how Deming's philosophy--if adopted--could be an antidote for today's managerial ineffectiveness. Shows organization and technical managers how to change--using Deming's principles--in order to improve quality in delivered services and products and in employee satisfaction. Analyzes the flaws of Taylorism and Neo-Taylorism-- with point-by-point comparison with Deming's philosophy. Clearly explains the Deming quality philosophy from a conceptual framework that can then be applied (rather than from a recipe or case study format, which has proven to be ineffective). For Executive and Technical Managers (all industries); Quality Managers and Practitioners; Quality, Productivity, Organizational Development Consultants.

Waking the Giant
Author: Bill McGuire
Publisher: OUP Oxford
ISBN: 0191633887
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 318
Book Description
Twenty thousand years ago our planet was an icehouse. Temperatures were down six degrees; ice sheets kilometres thick buried much of Europe and North America and sea levels were 130m lower. The following 15 millennia saw an astonishing transformation as our planet metamorphosed into the temperate world upon which our civilisation has grown and thrived. One of the most dynamic periods in Earth history saw rocketing temperatures melt the great ice sheets like butter on a hot summer's day; feeding torrents of freshwater into ocean basins that rapidly filled to present levels. The removal of the enormous weight of ice at high latitudes caused the crust to bounce back triggering earthquakes in Europe and North America and provoking an unprecedented volcanic outburst in Iceland. A giant submarine landslide off the coast of Norway sent a tsunami crashing onto the Scottish coast while around the margins of the continents the massive load exerted on the crust by soaring sea levels encouraged a widespread seismic and volcanic rejoinder. In many ways, this post-glacial world mirrors that projected to arise as a consequence of unmitigated climate change driven by human activities. Already there are signs that the effects of climbing global temperatures are causing the sleeping giant to stir once again. Could it be that we are on track to bequeath to our children and their children not only a far hotter world, but also a more geologically fractious one?

The Rise of China
Author: Thomas Waites
Publisher:
ISBN: 9781520700236
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 507
Book Description
This science fiction novel uses historical antecedents to project a future scenario where China becomes the world's new superpower. In the years 2020 and 2021, they conquer most of Europe and they take over several U.S. Western States. They invent two terrible weapons that are used in their European campaign. The laser qiang is the world's first practical laser gun that proves devastating to the Austrian/German forces at the Bad Deutsch Altenburg Bridge. The shengbo, a weapon using infrasound, is even more horrible than the laser qiang. It is the decisive weapon enabling the Chinese forces to defeat the redoubtable Franco/Anglo forces defending France.The United States, in an attempt to free Europe from Chinese occupation, blockades China's entire eastern seaboard in hopes that her troops in Europe, without support from mainland China, will wither and die on the vine. In a fierce battle in the Yellow Sea, the U.S. Naval forces destroy the entire Chinese northern fleet. They also destroy China's eastern fleet. However, the Chinese manage to break free of the blockade in the South China Sea and they launch over 2,000 ultra large container ships, with millions of soldiers, to invade the western United States. Over seven million Chinese soldiers, split into three armies, begin their attack on the Western U.S. using Mexican territory for their bold and massive invasion. The U.S. fights back and there are terrible losses on both sides in the battles of Phoenix, El Paso and San Diego.Holed up in Mount Weather Virginia, the U.S. Government is in disarray. These terrible losses to the Chinese army have shaken U.S. confidence. The U.S. has always believed its armed forces are simply the best in the world, incapable of being defeated, especially on its own turf. During this crisis, the brave but seriously flawed General Johnson, orchestrates the first bloodless coup. President Mary Higgins, along with Admiral Nagamaza, Admiral Lemur and reporter Frank Weiss are locked up in the Mount Weather brigantine. Vice President Thomas is the new President but he is only a puppet of General Johnson who holds the real power. Six main characters are swept up in these epic events. Jack Lemur is a handsome and brash naval aviator. Having lived in China as a child, he is fluent in Mandarin. Akira Nagamaza, a third-generation Japanese-American is a brilliant scientist and Fleet Commander of U.S. Naval forces who destroys most of China's naval forces. He and Jack are favorites of President Higgins. Beautiful, intelligent and ambitious, Mary Higgins, despite great hardship in her youth, becomes the first woman President. She saves the U.S. from the brink of nuclear war. Frank Johnson is fearless and a patriotic American, but he is seriously flawed. This psychologically unstable army general leads the U.S. close to the brink of nuclear Armageddon. Wang Baoshan, the brave and heroic leader of China's naval forces, is the grandson of the famous naval aviator Wang Hai. Despite great losses, he goes toe-to-toe with the formidable American Navy. Zhao Tianhui, a brilliant strategist, follows the precepts of Sun Tzu to win startling victories over supposedly superior enemy forces. Zhao attended the National Defense University where he became proficient in English and mastered American military strategies.
