Strategy and speed are two key characteristics of companies that want to survive in an environment as demanding as the current one. After the international standstill caused by the covid-19 pandemic, the business world needs to go faster, and this requires a constant incorporation of technologies and innovation in all areas of the company, capable and motivated staff and financial resources enough to face the crisis, among many other things. In these pages, Professor Nueno exposes the fundamental tools that business organizations and managers must consider to adapt to new demands. Managing with Speed is a book to read slowly and understand that speed is the key to success today.
Healthcare systems worldwide are swamped with demand, short of resources, and ill-equipped to respond to global health crises like COVID-19. This book is a guide for reforming healthcare delivery. The way we organize care matters, and the people best positioned to drive this are the clinicians who deliver care. The book offers a framework for transforming healthcare delivery that covers operational design, change management, long-term learning, and organizational environment. It describes the work of leading local operational change; identifies key decisions to be made, actions to be taken, and factors that must be taken into account; and gives clinicians the tools and perspectives they need...
This e-book asks: Is Supply Chain Management an emerging academic discipline? Supply Chain Management (SCM) has continued to grow in prominence within the field of Operations Management and also within the broader discipline of management. Practitioners have begun to adopt and adapt new techniques to supply management that improve firm performance. Organizations in both the public and private sectors are becoming increasingly aware of the pivotal role that SCM can play in their business success. This is a challenging special issue aimed at stimulating debate rather than providing a definiti.
There is now a widely accepted view among manufacturing and service organisations that 'operations' can provide the means of achieving competitive edge. The OMA-UK Sixth International Conference has taken this view as its theme and focuses in particular on how technology and people can be used to improve manufacturing and service competitiveness. These proceedings have been organised according to the topics addressed within the overall conference theme and generally fall within three broad areas: technology-based topics, human resource-based topics and general topics. The technology-based topics are: Materials Control, Supply Chain Management and Logistics Flexibility in Operations Systems C...
Iberian Crime Fiction is the first volume in English to provide an extensive overview of crime fiction in Spain and Portugal. While the origins of peninsular crime fiction are traced in Nancy Vosburg's introductory chapter to the volume, the essays focus on specific topics that provide readers with a sense of the development of the genre in the second half of the 20th-century and current trends in the 21st-century. Patty Hart, whose The Spanish Sleuth introduced English-speaking readers to early crime fiction in Spain, provides a summary account of the development of the crime novel from the 1950s through the 1980s, highlighting the major authors and works that set the stage for the boom tha...

Volum col·lectiu, bellament il·lustrat, preparat amb motiu de l’estudi tècnic que es va fer l’any 2001 sobre les característiques materials de la talla de fusta de la Mare de Déu de Montserrat, venerada en aquest Santuari des dels segles XII – XIII. Inclou una minuciosa descripció de la imatge, recerques sobre els orígens de les marededéus romàniques i sobre el lloc que hi ocupa la talla de Montserrat, i importants contribucions sobre aquesta imatge a través de la documentació i de la història. Finalment, s’hi inclou l’informe que els tècnics van redactar sobre l’anàlisi i la restauració de la Mare de Déu de Montserrat, acompanyat de fotografies adients i de radiografies. Bell conjunt que, com diu l’abat Josep M. Soler al seu pròleg, resol molts problemes plantejats, però que a vegades en presenta de nous i estimula a continuar endavant en l’estudi de la història de Montserrat i de la seva imatge.
