Managing Competences Research Practice and Contemporary Issues

Managing Competences: Research Practice and Contemporary Issues draws together theoretical and practical research in competence management. It provides a wealth of knowledge concerning emerging and contemporary issues such as the multilevel approach to competence the development of collective competence the strategies of competence management and the tools for managing competences as well as the organizational dynamics of competences. Moreover the book provides a critical approach to research and practitioners’ continued engagement in competence management research and practice. Research in competence management has more recently entered an era more open to doubt and questioning: Is there a solid theoretical foundation that supports the concept of competence? What is the contribution of research on employees’ competences to human resources management in particular and more generally to management? Is there not a risk of diluting the concept of competence by considering it at the individual collective organizational and strategic levels? Today is it still possible to manage competences in a world where the boundaries of the organizations are more and more porous? These questions and many others probably explain why a field that seemed well-identified and well-structured yesterday has given way today to new highly diverse analyses of competences by researchers and practitioners. This contributed volume seeks to answer these pressing issues and is a collective means for responding to them. The book brings together multiple streams of research in the field about emerging and contemporary issues including multidimensional HRM systems the rise of forms of collaborative management the intensification of the use of digital and robotic technologies the rise of the regime of remote and networked operations the increasing heterogeneity of the status of workers and changes in regulations concerning work and its recognition. | Managing Competences Research Practice and Contemporary Issues

Biology of Fishes

The Third Edition of Biology of Fishes is chiefly about fish as remarkably efficient machines for coping with the many problems that life in water entails and looks at many such special cases. Fishes form the largest group of vertebrates with around 20 000 known species and they display a remarkable diversity of size shape internal structure and ecology to cope with environments ranging from transient puddles to the abyssal depths of the sea. Biology of Fishes does not try to cover all aspects of fish biology but focuses on the ingenious ways in which fish have resolved the particular problems that come from living in water especially body fluid regulation locomotion feeding mechanisms and sensory systems. Enough detail is provided for the reader to be able to go on and use primary research papers. Each chapter has been thoroughly updated and a new chapter on the immune system has been added. This is an ideal textbook for students of fish biology and any of the branches of aquatic biology.

Selling Architectural Ideas

As 'visual animals' architects continue to live and work in a pictorial age in which image-making remains the central activity of environmental design. Selling Architectural Ideas explores the promotional role of architectural graphics and drawing at the point of communication i. e. at their point of sale. By substituting the words 'communication' and 'presentation' with the word 'selling' we confront the reality of a highly competitive world in which the process of creating images for selling architectural ideas is approached as a more persuasive and therefore more successful design tool.

The Stakeholder Perspective Relationship Management to Increase Value and Success Rates of Projects

The Stakeholder Perspective places people at the center of both projects and project management. It gives to the project management community a helpful innovative stakeholder-centered approach to increase projects’ delivered value and success rate. It presents a logical model also called the Stakeholder Perspective which acts as the reference point in a structured path to effectiveness. Starting from the analysis of a project’s stakeholders the model integrates both rational and relational innovative approaches. Its continuous focus on stakeholder requirements and expectations helps to set a proper path and to maintain it in order to target success and to achieve goals in a variety of projects with different size and complexity. The book presents a set of innovative and immediately applicable techniques for effective stakeholder identification and classification as well as analysis of stakeholder requirements and expectations key stakeholders management stakeholder network management and more generally stakeholder relationship management. The proposed stakeholder classification model consists of just four communities each one based on the commonality of main interests and behavior. This model features an accurate and stable identification process to increase effective communication and drastic reduce relationship complexity. A systemic approach is proposed to analyze both stakeholder requirements and expectations. The approach aids in detecting otherwise unclear stakeholder requirements and/or hidden stakeholder expectations. An interactive communication model is presented along with its individual and organizational frames of reference. Also presented are relevant cues to maximize effective and purposeful communication with key stakeholders as well as with the stakeholder network. The importance of satisfying not only the project requirements but also the stakeholder expectations is demonstrated to be the critical success factor in all projects. An innovative approach based on the perceived value and key performance indicators shows how to manage different levels of project complexity. The book also defines a complete structured path to relationship effectiveness called Relationship Management Project which can be tailored to enhance stakeholder and communication management processes in each one of the project management process groups (i. e. initiating planning executing monitoring and controlling and closing). The book concludes with a look ahead at Project Management X. 0 and the stakeholder-centered evolution of both project and portfolio management. | The Stakeholder Perspective Relationship Management to Increase Value and Success Rates of Projects
