Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Meeting the Innovation Challenge provides a balanced and integrated approach to creativity, innovation, change and leadership. It is organized around a new model of creative leadership andoffering a specific system that links people and situations with process and content.Essential reading for both practitioners and students, Meeting the Innovation Challenge moves beyond 'What is the difference between leadership and management ' to 'How do we use a full spectrum of creative leadership skills to improve our responses to the need for change ''Status and significance within organizations are often advertised, not simply by the size or position of a person's office, but by the size of their bookcase and the number of business books on display. Look closely, however, and most remain pristine, their pages crisply blocked and as solid as the day the printer's guillotine fell.Here's a book that'll be different: destined to be endlessly thumbed and dog-eared by real people engaged in transformation. They couldn't be in better hands. The authors are real people, bringing wisdom, insight and hard-won experience to that most difficult of tasks, leading transformation.'--Mike King, Ogilvy and Mather, London, UK'Professors Scott Isaksen and Joe Tidd remind us that change and success are ultimately human endeavors. They tear down the distinctions between leadership and management and innovation and creativity that lead us to focus on characteristics rather than character. Most importantly, Isaksen and Tidd offer a rigorous integrated model for creative leadership and provide concrete ideas and suggestions, bringing that model alive. This is an important book.'--Eugene J. McAllister President, University of Great Falls Montana, USA'As someone who has been doing research on organizational climate and leadership for the past forty years, I have particular interest in finding ways to stimulate and utilize the creative capabilities of people who work within organizations. This is a key challenge for those who seek both radical and incremental change. I am impressed that this book offers broader and deeper insights into such a relevant topic, and believe that it will be an excellent resource for both practitioners and scholars.'--Göran Ekvall, Professor Emeritus Organizational Psychology Stockholm, Sweden.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The World Wide Web has a massive and permanent influence on our lives. Economy, industry, education, healthcare, public administration, entertainment - there is hardly any part of our daily lives which has not been pervaded by the Internet.Accordingly, modern Web applications are fully-fledged, complex software systems, and in order to be successful their development must be thorough and systematic. Web Engineering is the application of quantifiable approaches to the cost-effective requirements analysis, design, implementation, testing, operation and maintenance of high quality Web applications.Web Engineers face the same traditional concerns as Software Engineers: the risks of failure to meet business needs, project schedule delays, budget overruns and poor quality of deliverables. But in the Web environment new and complicated issues demand attention, too. Web Engineering addresses the problems associated with shorter lead times which require rapid prototyping and agile methods, the interactivity and visual nature of the medium which make HCI aspects highly significant, and multimedia features of Web applications.This well-organized guide takes a rigorous interdisciplinary approach to Web Engineering, covering Web development concepts, methods, tools and techniques, and is ideal for undergraduate and graduate students on Web-focused or Software Engineering courses, as well as Web software developers, Web designers and project managers.
