International Manufacturing Strategies
Over the last twenty years, there has been an increasing number of factors that have placed the manufacturing strategies of companies and countries in a global context. This book reviews and addresses the global manufacturing strategy area through research in the four major economic areas of the world: Europe, North America, Latin America and Asia. International Manufacturing Strategies: Context, Content and Change is the result of a single major research project undertaken in twenty countries, focusing on the manufacturing strategies and practices in each, and uses research data to focus on factors specific to industrial countries or regions and those which are common across the group of co...
Scottish Mandarin
Colonial administrator, writer, explorer, Buddhist, and friend to China's last emperor, Sir Reginald Johnston (1874–1938) was a distinguished sinologist with a tangled love and family life that he kept secret even from his closest friends. Born and educated in Edinburgh, he began his career in the colony of Hong Kong and eventually became Commissioner of the remote British leased territory of Weihai in northern China. He travelled widely and, during a break from colonial service, served as tutor and advisor to Puyi, the deposed emperor. As the only foreigner allowed to work in the Forbidden City, he wrote the classic account of the last days of the Qing Dynasty—Twilight in the Forbidden City. Granted unique access to Johnston's extensive personal papers, once thought to be lost, Shiona Airlie tells the life of a complex and sensitive character whose career made a deep impression on 20th-century China.

Next Generation Entrepreneurship
The book deals with next-generation entrepreneurship and aims to answer the questions of in which ways, how, through which focal directions, and by which means will next-generation entrepreneurship emerge and shape the market processes. Under this broad overview, the book is sub-divided into three sections: “Entrepreneurship Education and Young Perspectives”, “New Challenges for Entrepreneurship”, and “Shaping the Next Generation of Entrepreneurship”. The book balances empirical evidence with conceptual contributions.
Managing Process Innovation through Exploitation and Exploration
In order to stay efficient, companies need to improve their existing business processes on a continuous basis. To ensure competitive edge, it is essential for companies to adapt radically to new business opportunities and when external demands change. However, experience and research show that companies have difficulties managing both the continuous improvement of the existing system and radical change at the same time. By using TQM and BPR to represent the two approaches to change Tor Tønnessen contributes to the understanding of the challenges of this integration and shows ways to accomplish a successful synergistic combining of the two approaches.
Innovative Quality Management Cases
The current literature on quality management is very much focused on the implementation of the latest fads and fashions, or various tools and techniques such as Quality Function Deployment, Benchmarking, Self-assessment and Six-Sigma. Based on research carried out in collaboration between the University of Manchester (UK) and Erasmus University Rotterdam (The Netherlands), we believe that many organisations have lost sight of the basic elements of quality management. Therefore, we decided to focus with a ebook on these basic elements of the quality management philosophy, which are: Customer foc.

Negotiating A Chinese Federation

Making Saints in Modern China
"Sainthood" has been, and remains, a contested category in China, given the commitment of China's modern leadership to secularization, modernization, and revolution, and the discomfort of China's elite with matters concerning religion. However, sainted religious leaders have succeeded in rebuilding old institutions and creating new ones despite the Chinese government's censure. This book offers a new perspective on the history of religion in modern and contemporary China by focusing on the profiles of these religious leaders from the early 20th century through the present. Edited by noted authorities in the field of Chinese religion, Making Saints in Modern China offers biographies of promin...
