Towards Resilient Organizations and Societies
This open access book brings together scholars in the fields of management, public policy, regional studies, and organization theory around the concept of resilience. The aim is to provide a more holistic understanding of the complex phenomenon of resilience from a multi-sectorial, cross-national, and multidisciplinary perspective. The book facilitates a conversation across diverse disciplinary specializations and empirical domains. The authors contribute both to theory testing and theory development and provide key empirical insights useful for societies, organizations, and individuals experiencing disruptive pressures, not least in the context of a post-COVID-19 world. Diverse chapters are held together by a clear organization of the volume across levels of analysis (resilience in organizations and societies) and by an original perspective on resilience derived from an extended review, by the editors, of the existing literature and knowledge gaps, according to which each of the individual chapter contributions is positioned and connected to.
Handbook on Innovation and Project Management
Identifying the origins and evolution of innovation and project management, this unique Handbook explains why and how the two fields have grown and developed as separate disciplines, highlighting how and why they are now converging. It explores the theoretical and practical connections between the management of innovations and projects, examining the close relationship between the disciplines.
Contracting and Safety
This open access book examines the increase in outsourcing, contracting and subcontracting as ways of organising work. It explores the impact of these employment arrangements on public safety, particularly when they are linked to complex supply networks in a range of engineering industries including oil and gas, nuclear power and aviation. The brief provides practical recommendations on how best to manage arrangements that target short-term profitability and also maintain excellence in long-term safety outcomes. The brief is a source of advice for organisations on how to maximise the benefits and minimise long-term system reliability issues that can be introduced by contracting and outsourcing, rather than assuming it to be a wholly negative or positive practice. Contracting and Safety comprises qualitative, empirical studies focusing on high-reliability organisation. As such, this brief provides a rich picture of the experience of working in complex supply chains. It will be of interest to researchers in industrial safety, as well as safety professionals and project managers within engineering industries.
Nuclear Economy 1
This book presents the factual, precise, complete and accessible economic elements of nuclear energy in order to contribute to an informed and dispassionate debate. It begins with an in-depth analysis of the strategic policies relating to nuclear energy in France and around the world. The methodological aspects are presented exhaustively and illustrated with detailed examples and case studies. This book provides a relevant economic study of the fuel component of nuclear energy. In this context, aspects of the uranium market are presented, before describing in detail the technical and economic components upstream of the nuclear cycle
Incertitude et résilience dans les projets technologiques
Various forms of uncertainty (technological, organizational and related to the context) often cause significant problems in large technological projects, leading to time and cost overruns and, in some cases, to the erosion of safety margins in the system design or implementation. The management of project risks, using anticipation or adaptation, is an important facet of the work of project managers. This report proposes a review of the academic literature on the management of uncertainty in large technological projects. It examines the limits of preliminary risk analyses, the manner in which alerts, weak signals and other warnings that suggest the appearance of a deviation from the initial p...
Quelques bonnes questions à se poser sur son dispositif de REX
La Foncsi a financé 8 projets de recherche dans le cadre de son programme Facteurs socioculturels de réussite du REX. Ce document rassemble et prolonge certains des questionnements issus de ces travaux. Il est le résultat de la confrontation des réflexions des chercheurs avec l’expérience et l’expertise des participants à un groupe de travail Foncsi qui s’est réuni une quinzaine de fois entre 2011 et 2013. Il ne s’agit ni de considérations théoriques ni de bonnes pratiques, mais d’un recueil d’aide à la réflexion sur ses propres pratiques de REX. Les membres du groupe de travail, en combinant les constats faits par les chercheurs financés par la Foncsi, les enseignements de la littérature scientifique internationale, et leur propre expérience industrielle ont cherché à formuler, sans prétendre à l’exhaustivité, une quarantaine de bonnes questions à se poser sur ses propres procédures et pratiques de retour d’expérience, de partage informel, de capitalisation des savoir-faire, d’apprentissage organisationnel.
Économie de l’énergie nucléaire 1
Cet ouvrage expose les éléments économiques factuels, précis, complets et accessibles de l’énergie nucléaire afin de contribuer à un débat éclairé et dépassionné. Il présente, dans un premier temps, une analyse approfondie des politiques stratégiques relatives à l’énergie nucléaire en France et dans le monde. Puis, il traite de la formation des coûts de production de l’électricité nucléaire, que ce soit pour les réacteurs actuels ou du futur. Les aspects méthodologiques sont présentés de manière exhaustive et illustrés d’exemples et d’études de cas détaillés. Enfin, Économie de l’énergie nucléaire 1 propose une étude économique pertinente de la composante combustible de l’énergie nucléaire. Dans ce cadre, les aspects relatifs au marché de l’uranium sont présentés avant de décrire précisément les composantes techniques et économiques qui se trouvent en amont du cycle nucléaire.
Advances in Human Factors, Software, and Systems Engineering
This book provides a platform for addressing human factors challenges in software and systems engineering, both pushing the boundaries of current research and responding to new challenges, fostering new research ideas in the process. This book is intended for researchers, professional software and systems engineers, and human factors and human systems integration experts to help them address societal challenges for next-generation systems with applications for meeting them. Topics include evolutionary and complex systems, human systems integration, smart grids and infrastructure, workforce training requirements, systems engineering education, and defense and aerospace. Based on the AHFE 2016 International Conference on Human Factors, Software, and Systems Engineering, held on July 27-31, 2016, in Walt Disney World®, Florida, USA. This book represents an inspiring guide for all researchers and professionals in the field of Human Factors, Software, and Systems Engineering.
