SOCIOLOGY OF ORGANISATIONS
Author: PHILIPPE SCIEUR
Publisher: PHI Learning Pvt. Ltd.
ISBN: 8120345304
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 160
Book Description
This book, in its second edition, continues to present the main models of Sociology that have been conceptualised to apprehend the world of organisations. From the theories of bureaucracy and human relations to contemporary approaches, this book focuses on all the key aspects of Sociology of an organisation. The concepts defined are marked by the consideration of modes of rationality, types of cooperation, of networks and power games, of systems of decision-making and logics of action. The book cites the contributions made and the definitions given by the great Sociologists like Max Weber, Talcott Parsons, Michel Crozier, Renaud Sainsanlieu, to help the students understand the topics more clearly. This second edition is enriched with studies of discussed cases, charts, and of extracts of texts pertinent to the productive system, to the public sphere and the associative fact. The book is intended for the undergraduate students of sociology. It will also be of interest to those who, on a personal or professional level, wish to understand better how companies, administrations, etc. function.

Socio-Economic Approach to Management Treatise
Author: Henri Savall
Publisher: IAP
ISBN:
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 1100
Book Description
The result of half a century of research and experimentation in economics and management, this Treatise is intended for management practitioners. Socio-economic management (SEAM) makes the demands of humanism in professional life and sustainable economic prosperity compatible. It is illustrated with numerous cases from 2,150 companies and organizations from a wide variety of sectors and presents observed and measured results. Most of these chapters are written jointly by managers or executives of companies and organizations, and scholars or consultants involved in the pilot actions. This book is the work of 193 authors, from 16 countries and 4 continents, practitioners or academics in management sciences and management. This reflects the diversity of national and sectoral contexts of SEAM applications. Some chapters situate this concept in relation to the major currents of current thought. Each chapter is preceded by abstracts in French, English and Spanish. The prefaces, signed by Herman Aguinis and Rene Ricol, show the scope of socio-economic theory and management beyond the borders of the company. The book illustrates the international influence (48 countries) of the innovative and robust methods created and developed by the ISEOR team. Socio-economic theory constitutes a "breakthrough innovation", both in terms of its conceptual contribution and the practical methods and tools of its applications. This holistic approach touches on the different functions of the company and its multiple problems. It provides a structured change management method, focused on stimulating Human Potential and on self-financing the development of the company or organization, through the periodic recycling of hidden costs.

Fiabilité technique et humaine
Author: LYONNET Patrick
Publisher: Lavoisier
ISBN: 2743064676
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 506
Book Description
De tout temps l’homme a sans doute voulu construire des choses fiables. Mais les évaluations quantifiées, probabilisées ont vu le jour récemment d’abord pour systèmes militaires (missiles, satellites) puis nucléaires, automobiles et les biens d’équipements. On peut citer que dès 1906 les constructeurs de tubes à vides américains se sont préoccupés de fiabilité, de là est née la fiabilité électronique, puis mécanique, informatique et humaine des systèmes et composants. Cette évolution contemporaine a produit de nombreux outils, concepts et méthodes. Ces développements sont au centre de l’ouvrage. Fiabilité Technique et Humaine rassemble les concepts, techniques et outils de la fiabilité des composants et systèmes en considérant toutes les technologies et dimensions, notamment la mécanique, l’électronique, l’informatique et les aspects humains. En effet, les erreurs humaines sont à l’origine de nombreuses défaillances et de ce fait ne peuvent être ignorées lors de la conception ou du maintien des installations. Les diverses formes de fiabilité, prévisionnelle, expérimentale et opérationnelle sont explicitées et illustrées aux travers d’applications industrielles. Les concepts, outils et techniques de fiabilité les plus complexes sont présentés à partir d’exemples permettant au lecteur de se familiariser avec ce domaine. La présentation très didactique de ces concepts, étayée par plus de 100 exercices et problèmes corrigés en fait un ouvrage incontournable pour la maîtrise de la fiabilité technique et humaine.

Proceedings of the 3rd International Conference of Economics and Management (CIREG 2016) Volume II
Author: Houcine Berbou
Publisher: Cambridge Scholars Publishing
ISBN: 1527549194
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 657
Book Description
This book brings together papers presented at the 3rd Conference of Research in Economics and Management (CIREG) held in Morocco in May 2016. With a focus on the challenges of SMEs and innovative solutions, they highlight the contribution of researchers in the fields of business and management, with all their micro and macro-economic aspects. They shed light on the universal scientific vision of the importance of SMEs with answers relevant to their local context and adapted to their specific national situation. The relevance of SME research lies in its heuristic value of analyzing change, rather than in constructing a category, a particularly useful empirical concept. This third volume is focused on marketing and human resources.

ECKM2014-Proceedings of the 15th European conference on Knowledge Management
Author: Carla Vivas
Publisher: Academic Conferences and Publishing International
ISBN: 1910309346
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 474
Book Description
The world economy in which we are living poses challenges that lead to a realization that 'more of the same' will be difficult to sustain. This provides an illustration that, in order to create new or modified knowledge practices, strengthen customer relationships and thus positively influence customer satisfaction, organizations must be flexible in configuring (combining) knowledge and knowledge structures in a way that is appropriate for delivering value to the customer. It must simultaneously develop effective strategies for updating the knowledge of its staff members necessary for underpinning the creation and delivery of appropriate knowledge services. Thus, unlearning (forgetting) becomes a critical means for organizational success. The ECKM community of scholars has already initiated dialogue that links its particular strengths to innovation issues. This conference aims to further that dialogue by attracting leading edge work that leverages the ECKM community's in-depth understanding of learning and unlearning to better understand knowledge management. Our aim is to stimulate breakthrough research streams linking learning, unlearning and knowledge management. How can organizations tailor, use, and extend techniques and tools from knowledge management for improving their business practices and processes? Building upon existing work on knowledge management (KM) and organizational learning, the conference will promote interdisciplinary approaches from computer science and information systems, business, management and organization science as well as cognitive science. Emphasis will be put on systematic learning from experience, KM tools and KM success factors. A special interest belongs to knowledge management initiatives which are lightweight (i.e., do not place considerable additional burden on users and KM experts), allow an incremental adoption (i.e., do not require large up-front investment before any return of investment is at least visible), and are flexible regarding frequent changes in experts and topics. Continuing the success of the ECKM conference series since 2000, the 2015 conference will provide an international communication forum bringing together academia and industry for discussing the progress made and addressing the challenges faced by continuous learning in knowledge-intensive organizations.

Technological Change
Author: Clotilde Coron
Publisher: John Wiley & Sons
ISBN: 1786304376
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 254
Book Description
Technological change is exciting as much as it is daunting. The arrival of new digital tools affects consumption patterns, types of employment and working conditions, and can pose challenges to organizations and individuals alike. Indeed, although technological change is a factor for economic growth, it can also be an amplifier, or even a catalyst, of inequality. It is also a social change and interacts in complex ways: technology is both the source and the consequence of social transformation. To understand technological change and to harness its effects, this book studies transformations at different levels (societal, organizational and individual). In its analysis of the subject, it also draws on a number of disciplines of the human and social sciences, such as anthropology, sociology and psychology.
