The End of Change
"In this book, you'll be taught how to assess both the level and the frequency of innovation in your organization and choose the structures that are most suitable for you at this time. You'll also be shown how to make a smooth transition from one Stability Structure to another when and if the need arises. By putting appropriate Structures in place, you'll have a system that automatically creates "shock absorbers" based on an in-depth understanding of how people react to change; maintains continuity across cycles to minimize disruption; encourages incremental innovation for people who can prepare in advance; creates safe places to fail; implements an early-warning system that recognizes disruption; trains experts who know how to pass on knowledge; and builds stability within teams."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

The Unwritten Rules of the Game
It's been featured in the nation's business press as the next wave in management. It's being discussed, debated, & acclaimed in conferences & executive suites around the world. It's The Unwritten Rules of the Game, & here is the pathbreaking book that introduces this unique new approach to mastering corporate change. What drives day-to-day behavior in an organization? As Arthur D. Little consultant Peter Scott-Morgan has discovered, the silent engines are not official policies but unwritten rules. Deciphering those rules is the essential step in managing change-the number 1 item on just about every corporate agenda these days-because the process unfailingly reveals why people are simply unwilling to alter their behavior.
Network and Communication
Currently, there are global endeavors to integrate network information into the natural world and human society. This process will lead to marked improvements in productivity and product quality, and to new production methods and lifestyles. Further, these advances will have significant impacts, similar to those of the agricultural and industrial revolutions. At the same time, it is profoundly changing competition around the globe. Security, economic, social, military and cultural trends generate new opportunities for national development, new living spaces for humans, new fields of social governance, and new momentum for industrial upgrading and international competition. Over the next 20 y...

In this ground-breaking study, Aaron Devor provides a compassionate, intimate, and incisive look at the life experiences of forty-five trans men. Emerging into 21st-century political and social conversations, questions persist. Who are they? How do they come to know themselves as men? What do they do about it? How do their families respond? Who are their lovers? What does it mean for everyone else? To answer these and other questions, Devor spent years compiling in-depth interviews and researching the lives of transsexual and transgender people. Here, he traces the everyday and significant events that coalesce into trans identities, culminating in gender and sex transformations. Using trans men's own words as illustrations, Devor looks at how childhood, adolescence, and adult experiences with family members, peers, and lovers work to shape and clarify their images of themselves as men. With a new introduction, Devor positions the volume in twenty-first century debates of identity politics and community-building and provides a window into his own self-exploration as a result of his research.
All Connected Now
Going beyond the narrow economic focus common to most books about globalization, All Together Now describes four kinds of global change-economic, political, cultural, biological-all of which are now accelerating, driven by the increasing mobility of symbols, goods, people, and non-human life forms. Anderson describes how we are entering an age of o
