This is the follow-on text to Complete Technology and Design, published in 2001, which covered the Foundation tier material for GCSE specifications, especially that of the CCEA. This book covers the four major areas from which Higher tier students choose their specialism, and also covers product analysis, a basic unit for all AS level students embarking on Advanced D&T courses. Each topic starts with a practical example of a project giving some insight into the topic, and is well illustrated with clear and colourful diagrams. Questions are included at the end of each topic, and are structured to become progressively harder within the set of ten.
This excellent book remaps the limits and possibilities of change, clearly shifting the focus from outmoded debates on agency and structure to new practice-based discourses on agency and change. Offering readers a selective and critical review of key literature and empirical research, it will help students contextualize this complex subject area and independently evaluate future prospects for effective change agent roles in organizations Presenting an interdisciplinary exploration of competing discourses, the book uses two overarching conceptual continua: centred agency-decentred agency and systems-processes, thereby allowing a more intensive focus on agency and change. Well-written with challenging content, this book is essential reading for those interested in the origins, development and future prospects for change agency in an organizational world characterized by increasing complexity, risk and uncertainty.
