Core Management Principles

Cachon Matching Supply with Demand, 4e is a clear, concise and more rigorous approach to an introductory Operations management course. Written by Wharton authors who use their guiding principles “real operations, real solutions” to bring the text and concepts to life, writing the majority of chapters from the perspective of specific companies. The “real solutions” refers to providing students with tools and strategies they can implement in practice and apply the author's models in a realistic operational setting. The authors strive for “real simple” by using as little mathematical notation as possible, focusing on many real-world examples and consistent terminology and phrasing throughout.

A novel dialogue between Buddhism and Western psychology, grounded in original Pali texts. As mindfulness and meditation become mainstream therapeutic tools, their deep Buddhist roots are often stripped away and limit their effectiveness for clients from Buddhist cultural backgrounds. Early Buddhist Teachings: A Theoretical Foundation for Counseling restores these practices to their original context, offering a culturally congruent counseling model grounded in Pali scriptures and core Buddhist principles. This informative volume explores key Buddhist concepts including dependent co-arising, non-self, and impermanence, and places them in conversation with Western psychological theories. Supplemented with practical assessment tools and intervention techniques, this work provides mental health professionals with a new framework for integrating Buddhist teachings into counseling. For therapists, students, and counselors seeking to expand their approach, Early Buddhist Teachings offers a vi

Not just management. This book reveals the philosophical soul of Peter Drucker’s thought. Through eight essential articles, it explores purpose, responsibility, and society, inviting leaders and thinkers to look beyond techniques and rediscover management as a deeply human endeavor.Unveiling the Soul of Management: A Deep Dive into Drucker’s PhilosophyStudy Notes on Drucker’s Eight Articles offers a profound and personal exploration of Peter Drucker’s most critical writings. Developed through a close collaboration with Shao Minglo’s compilation To Know the Real Drucker, this volume transcends traditional management commentary to reveal the philosophical bedrock of Drucker’s worldview.The author, originally a scholar of ancient Chinese literature, approaches Drucker not merely as a management guru, but as a great thinker in the lineage of Dostoevsky and Thomas Mann. Through a journey that traverses the diagnosis of totalitarianism and the search for societal salvation, these notes conne

本書特色「企業管理」（business management）這個科目包括兩大範疇：一為「企業」（business）的領域，二為「管理」（management）的內涵。就學科的分類而言，即為「企業概論」與「管理概論」兩個科目。近年來各大國營事業的考科不論其名稱為何，如：「管理學」、「企業管理」或「企業管理概論」，幾乎都以「管理功能」為主要的命題範疇，因此讀者只要確實研讀本書必能掌握考試要點。且本書於各主題結束後特別將近年國營事業「管理學」的試題歸納與分類，以利讀者掌握命題的分布與焦點。另外，「企業功能」（business functions）也是要提防出題的範圍，但其中又以「行銷管理」（marketing management）的考題為大宗，特別是針對「行銷」方面的職缺甄試，讀者須特別留意。

To Know the Real Drucker: Eight Articles Will Help You is a collection of eight articles by Peter Drucker: “The Unfashionable Kierkegaard” (1949) and its introduction (1992), “The New World-View” (1957), “From Analysis to Perception: The New World View” (1989), “Reflections of a Social Ecologist” (1992), “What Is a Functioning Society?” (1942), “From Rousseau to Hitler” (1942), “The Human Situation Today” (1957), and “Management as Social Function and Liberal Art” (1989). Readers can find the source of each articles in the table of contents and editor’s note per article. Of the eight articles, only the last one is from Drucker’s works on management. The other seven are from his books on society, politics, and economics. Although the world has hailed him as the “Father of Modern Management,” he considered himself a “social ecologist.” This book will play an indispensable role in explaining the reason for that and in further understanding the foundation of faith and worldview which Druck

FOREWORDAt the beginning of 2024, I was invited to contribute to a project focused on women who engage in futures thinking and foresight. As a cornerstone of the project, a seminarwas planned to celebrateInternational Women’s Day. In preparation for the event, a vibrant exchange unfolded in a WhatsApp group. Participants, including myself, posed questions, suggested sessions, and explored shared concerns and interests. The following were some of the questions raised:• Why do so many people, who agree with the principles of feminism, hesitate to identify themselves as feminists?• What does feminism signify in 2024?• How should we define it?• Can individuals of genders other than women be feminists?• Is feminism still relevant, or is it considered passé?• Does the concept of feminism require rebranding?• Should we discuss feminism in the singular or feminismS in the plural?• Are we now closer to achieving the central feminist vision of an equitable

This book explores the possibility of building the resilience of the UNESCO cultural landscapes, both using theoretical conceptions and practical strategies and actions. Two case studies have been selected, one in Italy and one in China, which have then been explored for the first time in such a comparative way. Different notions of landscape, as well as the driving force of changes affecting these landscapes, are examined and compared.Moreover, the perceptions of the local communities regarding these landscapes are examined, using online questionnaires with over 400 participants. This research highlights the need for an integrated management system, building stronger rural communities able to manage change and continuity. Five pillars to build the resilience of these landscapes have been provided, with schemes and figures, requiring a people-centered approach in their management.This book demonstrates strong connections between identity and landscape resilience, especially in inlandar

In The New Politics of Beijing–Hong Kong Relations, Sonny Shiu-Hing Lo looks at the diverging changes to the ideologies from both Beijing and Hong Kong, and the ideological conflicts as taken in the form of factional political struggles between 2012 and the present. This book examines the paternalistic authoritarianism that can be seen in Beijing’s policy toward Hong Kong since the promulgation of the national security law in late June 2020. Lo analyzes the ideological shift from liberal nationalism to conservative nationalism in mainland China, which has taken place since late 2012. The increasingly radical localism in Hong Kong after 2014 transformed Beijing–Hong Kong relations into a conflict-ridden situation characterized by factional struggles. While the imposition of the national security law into Hong Kong since late June 2020 has stabilized the city politically, Beijing’s policy toward Hong Kong is now guided by the principles of protecting its national security and m

Psychosis and Schizophrenia in Hong Kong covers some of the most serious mental health conditions that top the global disease burden and affect 3 per cent of the general population. However, most research on psychotic disorders is undertaken in the West, and few studies have been systematically carried out in Asia despite global interest in regional differences. This work offers a unique and coherent account of these disorders and their treatment in Hong Kong over the last thirty years.Chen and his research programme’s pioneering work has ranged from the impact of early intervention on outcomes and relapse prevention, to the renaming of psychosis to reduce stigma. The studies have contributed to wider international debates on the optimal management of the condition. Their investigations in semantics and cognition, as well as cognition-enhancing exercise interventions, have provided novel insights into deficits encountered in psychotic disorders and how they might be ameliorated. The re
