A few rare companies have discovered the secret to sustained high growth: momentum. They’ve learned how to create the conditions that lead to exceptional organic growth–which feeds on itself, continually accelerating the business forward. In The Momentum Effect, J.C.

Das umfassende Handbuch richtet sich an Verfahrensingenieure und Chemiker, die die Vorgänge in chemisch-verfahrenstechnischen Apparaten hintergründig und ursächlich verstehen wollen. Es besticht durch seinen praxisorientierten Ansatz. Die Grundlagen werden fundiert und umfassend dargestellt. Impuls-, Wärme- und Stofftransport werden physikalisch richtig auf die gleichen submikroskopischen bzw.

The series Structure and Bonding publishes critical reviews on topics of research concerned with chemical structure and bonding. The scope of the series spans the entire Periodic Table and addresses structure and bonding issues associated with all of the elements.

The objective of this book is to reconstruct historical episodes and experiments that have been important in scientific progress, and to explore the role played by controversies and rivalries among scientists. Although progress in science has been replete with controversies, scientists themselves either ignore or simply downplay their role.

Dieses Buch legt der Mechanik weitgehend algebraische Vorstellungen und Methoden, wie sie in der Quantenmechanik bis hin zur Feldtheorie entwickelt wurden, zu Grunde. Die Mechanik dient somit auch der Einführung solcher Methoden, die dann in anderen Bereichen der theoretischen Physik erforderlich werden. Neue Methoden müssen dann nicht mehr bei der Behandlung nicht bekannter physikalischer Vorstellungen neu erarbeitet werden.

Cet ouvrage est un cours de probabilités appliquées à la physique. Partant de notions élémentaires, il introduit les concepts importants des probabilités, la physique statistique, les phénomènes critiques et les simulations numériques de manière rigoureuse et concise. La seconde moitié de l’ouvrage s’intéresse au calcul stochastique introduit par Itô, aux diffusions et au calcul de Malliavin. Les derniers chapitres traitent des probabilités libres et quantiques ainsi que des matrices aléatoires qui sont au cœur des développements actuels.

Una moderna presentazione della teoria della Relatività Ristretta, specificatamente progettata per i nuovi corsi della Laurea Triennale in Fisica. Un testo essenziale ma autosufficiente, che adotta lo stile e il linguaggio delle lezioni svolte in aula, e che introduce alle trasformazioni di Lorentz, alla formulazione covariante dell'elettromagnetismo e alle basi della cinematica e dinamica relativistiche. Include una discussione della cinematica dei processi d'urto e una derivazione dettagliata dell'effetto Cherenkov.

Harvard Business School's Michael Roberto draws on powerful decision-making case studies from every walk of life, showing how to promote honest, constructive dissent and skepticism; use it to improve decisions; and align organizations behind those decisions.

At the turn of the millennium, McDonald's faced a host of serious problems: a decline in food quality, branding issues, indifferent employees, shoddy service and a poor bottom line. The global brand consulting company Arcature LLC was brought in to develop a global brand direction, and Light

Most companies ignore one of their best opportunities for honing competitive advantage: proactively managing the business cycle and broader macroeconomic turbulence. In The Well-Timed Strategy, Peter Navarro reveals why the business cycle is an even more powerful P&L driver than you may realize, and demonstrates how it can be profitably managed.

In the late 1970s the fields of film and media studies were in ferment. New ideas were being imported wholesale into an area that had previously been starved of intellectual input. During this time the influential journal, Screen Education, pioneered the teaching and study of the visual image.

Mediengestaltung ist mehr als nur Design. Deshalb liegt der Fokus dieses Buches auf der konzeptionellen Gestaltung. Dabei stehen Grundidee und ein umfassendes Konzept im Vordergrund. Gestalttechniken und formales Design werden als unverzichtbarer Hintergrund ebenfalls umfassend behandelt. Viele praktische Übungen und Checklisten schaffen dabei die Basis für erste eigene Schritte und motivieren zum Ausprobieren. Das Buch macht Mediengestalter fit für das 21. Jahrhundert, in dem der ideenreiche Allrounder für Online- und Offline-Medien gefragt und gefordert

Today’s best companies get it. From Costco® to Commerce Bank, Wegmans to Whole Foods®: they’re becoming the ultimate value creators. They’re generating every form of value that matters: emotional, experiential, social, and financial. And they’re doing it for all their stakeholders. Not because it’s “politically correct”: because it’s the only path to long-term competitive advantage.

In today's organizations, employee engagement is vital--more is being required of workers than ever before. In this new edition of his classic book, Kenneth Thomas draws on the latest research findings to identify the key to employee engagement: intrinsic motivation. Only intrinsic rewards--rewards that come directly from the work itself--encourage the profound commitment and sense of ownership needed for a truly engaged and innovative workforce. Thomas identifies four intrinsic rewards, explains exactly how and why they build engagement, and provides a diagnostic framework to evaluate which need boosting and how to boost them. The second edition has been revised and updated throughout, with an expanded section on how leaders can identify their own intrinsic rewards and new tools, tips, and practices for encouraging intrinsic motivation in others.
