Collisions and Collaboration
The Large Hadron Collider at CERN is the world's largest scientific experiment involving 3,000 scientists from 38 countries. Here a team of organization theorists collaborate with leading figures at CERN to understand how this project has been organized and what lessons can be learnt for the management of major projects and 'big science'.
Knowledge, Organization, and Management
'Knowledge, Organization, and Management' brings together key examples of Max Boisot's work into a single volume, setting these alongside original, extended commentaries and reflections by his academic collaborators.
Strategic IQ
In today's world, only the smartest survive. The competitive landscape is littered with graves of well-known firms whose revenues, profits and stock prices rose for decades until they suddenly imploded. In fast-changing business environments, firms must adapt their strategies and innovate to remain at the top. But many successful firms fail to do so. Instead, they succumb to inertia, hesitate, or stick blindly to their old strategies, until it is too late. The ability to adapt to change is a measure of intelligence; so why do firms demonstrate such low Strategic IQ? What causes inertia and why is it so deadly? How can leaders help their firms to act more intelligently? This book identifies t...
Physics at the Terascale
Written by authors working at the forefront of research, this accessible treatment presents the current status of the field of collider-based particle physics at the highest energies available, as well as recent results and experimental techniques. It is clearly divided into three sections; The first covers the physics -- discussing the various aspects of the Standard Model as well as its extensions, explaining important experimental results and highlighting the expectations from the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). The second is dedicated to the involved technologies and detector concepts, and the third covers the important - but often neglected - topics of the organisation and financing of high-energy physics research. A useful resource for students and researchers from high-energy physics.
International Business Strategy
The first textbook to combine analytical rigour and true managerial insight on the functioning of large multinational enterprises.
Managing Science
This book introduces the reader to some of the techniques of leadership and management with a pragmatic approach to managing scientific research and scientists, engineers, and technicians that engage with it. The approach is conversational, with anecdotes and practical examples.
Managing Science
A unique "how-to" manual for the management of scientific laboratories This book presents a complete set of tools for the management of research and development laboratories and projects. With an emphasis on knowledge rather than profit as a measure of output and performance, the authors apply standard management principles and techniques to the needs of high-flux, open-ended, separately funded science and technology enterprises. They also propose the novel idea that failure, and incipient failure, is an important measure of an organization's potential. From the management of complex, round-the-clock, high-tech operations to strategies for long-term planning, Managing Science: Management for...
Who Cares about Particle Physics?
CERN, the European Laboratory for particle physics, regularly makes the news. What kind of research happens at this international laboratory and how does it impact people's daily lives? Why is the discovery of the Higgs boson so important? Particle physics describes all matter found on Earth, in stars and all galaxies but it also tries to go beyond what is known to describe dark matter, a form of matter five times more prevalent than the known, regular matter. How do we know this mysterious dark matter exists and is there a chance it will be discovered soon? About sixty countries contributed to the construction of the gigantic Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN and its immense detectors. Di...
Extreme Metal II
Newly revised and updated, with even more bands detailed and dissected, including the biggest names in Grindcore, Gorecore, Pagan Metal, Viking Metal and Vampire Metal; Extreme Metal is more than just an encyclopaedia. It takes a rare look at an ever-proliferating music scene that will horrify, thrill and shock you. From Abhorrant to Zyklon, from the chart-topping success of Slipknot to the trials and church-burnings of Count Grishnackh and Burzum, no stone is left unturned. Any fan of music just that bit different from the homogenous mass of plastic pop will find something to cherish within these pages.
Swedish Death Metal
Includes "A-Z of Swedish death metal bands - encyclopedia," with band histories and performers.
