The Oxford Handbook of Innovation (Oxford Handbooks)
Manufacturer: Oxford University Press, USA ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback Similar Items:
ASIN: 0199286809 |
Book Description
This handbook looks to provide academics and students with a comprehensive and holistic understanding of the phenomenon of innovation. Innovation spans a number of fields within the social sciences and humanities: Management, Economics, Geography, Sociology, Politics, Psychology, and History. Consequently, the rapidly increasing body of literature on innovation is characterized by a multitude of perspectives based on, or cutting across, existing disciplines and specializations. Scholars of innovation can come from such diverse starting points that much of this literature can be missed, and so constructive dialogues missed. The editors of The Oxford Handbook of Innovation have carefully selected and designed twenty-one contributions from leading academic experts within their particular field, each focusing on a specific aspect of innovation. These have been organized into four main sections, the first of which looks at the creation of innovations, with particular focus on firms and networks. Section Two provides an account of the wider systematic setting influencing innovation and the role of institutions and organizations in this context. Section Three explores some of the diversity in the working of innovation over time and across different sectors of the economy, and Section Four focuses on the consequences of innovation with respect to economic growth, international competitiveness, and employment. An introductory overview, concluding remarks, and guide to further reading for each chapter, make this handbook a key introduction and vital reference work for researchers, academics, and advanced students of innovation.

The Corporate Culture Handbook: How to Plan, Implement, And Measure a Successful Culture Change Programme
Gabrielle O'Donovan Manufacturer: Liffey Press ProductGroup: Book Binding: Hardcover Similar Items:
ASIN: 1904148972 |
Book Description
Corporate culture remains an enigma for many a strategic management team, and successful culture change remains but a myth for most organisations. "The Corporate Culture Handbook" dispels much of the mystique surrounding the subject, outlines the business case for corporate culture management, puts forward a field-proven strategic implementation plan that incorporates best practice and lessons learned, and presents pioneering work on the measurement of a culture change programme. In "The Corporate Culture Handbook", O'Donovan shows that successful corporate culture change must be a two-way path, where the workforce are active participants in shaping their culture, not mere passive responders to external mechanisms as suggested in the traditional model of corporate culture. In addition, organisational credibility and reputation must be based on a history of ethical conduct, not on a carefully crafted marketing campaign. Using the insights in this book, corporate leaders will be able to identify the prevailing attitudes and behaviours in their organisation and understand what needs to change to nurture and manage a healthy corporate culture. Executives and consultants seeking to create a service culture, a culture of ethics or a culture of innovation will find this practical book indispensable, and organisations who adopt the UN Global Compact or the Global Sullivan Principles will find it particularly helpful for delivering on their leadership commitments. Throughout "The Corporate Culture Handbook", new ideas, techniques and models are presented in clear language that is easy to grasp and turn into action. Using this comprehensive and sensible handbook, organisations will finally be able to take control of their destiny.Customer Reviews:

Untechnical Writing - How to Write About Technical Subjects and Products So Anyone Can Understand (Untechnical Press Books for Writers Series)

Dated but useful.......2007-07-07
Book title mislead readers.......2006-11-14
I Liked It!.......2005-03-19
Helps you to understand the process of technical writing.......2004-02-09
I liked this book a lot. The tone of the book is conversational, replete with interesting quotes related to the subject of writing. While the book isn't one that will "teach" you how to write, it will help hone your technical writing skills such that you can effectively communicate to a non-technical readership. All too often, technical writers write for other techies. This may be fine if that's the audience, but usually it's not.
Another feature of this book is that it will help you understand the entire process of editing and layout. At this stage of my writing career, I can put words to paper and send it off to be "edited". That part is still a mystery to me, as well as what it takes to get a clean copy into a layout ready for publishing. After reading this book, I have a better idea of what others are doing to my original submission.
Good book if you do technical writing...

Chock-full of insider tips and insights, the book is testament to its author's years as a writer, editor, manager, technical guru, and all-around "computer geek" nice guy.
Demystifying technical writing in itself and enlisting the reader's own intelligence and practicality, the book outlines how to not only do a technical job well but to do it in the smartest way possible. Invaluable!
