books summary, Review 'This book is a must for those planning and implementing change. Its key message is that sustainability and spread are intimately linked and it helpfully outlines the complex mediators of such challenging social processes. For those researching health care settings, the book offers significant insights into relevant theory and signposts valuable scholarship in this area.' Sue Dopson, Rhodes Trust University Reader in Organisational Behaviour, Saïd Business School, University of Oxford 'The NHS Modernisation Agency supported a wide-ranging attempt to reform a major public service. Drawing on case studies from five years of that experience, this volume brings a rare combination of intellectual rigour and practical insight to two of the central challenges that confront such programmes of change. It will prove a valuable resource to managers, practitioners, students and researchers in healthcare and beyond.' Edward Peck, Professor of Public Services Development and Director, Health Services Management Centre and School of Public Policy, University of Birmingham Product Description This important book examines issues affecting the sustainability and spread of new working practices. The question of why good ideas do not spread, ‘the best practices puzzle’, has been widely recognized. But the ‘improvement evaporation effect’, where successful changes are discontinued, has attracted less attention. Keeping things the way they are has been seen as an organizational problem to be resolved, not a condition to be achieved. This is one of the first major studies of the sustainability of change focusing on the example of the NHS, by a unique team of health service and academic researchers. The findings may apply to a variety of other settings. The agenda set out in 2000 in The NHS Plan is perhaps the largest organization development programme ever undertaken, in any sector, anywhere. The NHS thus offers a valuable ‘living laboratory’ for the study of change. This text shows that sustainability and spread are influenced by a range of issues - contextual, managerial, political, individual, and temporal. Developing a processual perspective, this fresh analysis considers policy implications, and strategies for managing sustainability and spread. This book will be essential reading for students, managers, and researchers concerned with the effective implementation of organizational change. See all Editorial Reviews,books summary

books summary, Product Description Computer simulation modeling, the new force in business, allows managers to see the results of a process change before committing time and resources to it. The Simulation Modeling Toolkit is vital to understanding numerous applications of this important process. Its methods and techniques will help any reader reduce time and risk in developing new products and serving customers, and the CD-ROM insert enables the user to create and run simulations from start to finish. From the Back Cover Strategies to Evaluate New or Redesigned Systems Before YOu Implement Them - Dramatically Reducing Costs, Cycle time, Error Rates, Inventory, and Down-Time! In today's razor's-edge business world, your organization can't afford to implement untested systems and processes. Before you go 'live', simulation of these new methods is vital for assessing how they will perfomr when subjected to real-world pressures over time. Simulation Modeling Methods outlines the process simulation methods used to help major companies substantailly increase both the efficiency and the cost-effectiveness of their most important systems. This dynamic book/CD package was specifically designed to give you a working template for: Process simulation assessment and planning. Implementation steps for effective simulation. Results measurements for continuous improvement. While one-dimensional tools such as flowcharts and spreadsheets have their place, you will need effective computer simulation methods to predict important 'how', when, why, and what-if' scenarios. Simulation Modeling Methods combines the latest process improvement research and a hands-on, multimedia CD-ROM disk with real-world success stories, such as IBM's decreasing distribution costs by $40 million per year and Hallmark Cards' reducing cycle time form 80 to 8 days. These success stories and others will help you place new and improved systems into live-action scenarios. The result will be dramatically lowered implementation costs, scheduled slippages, and on-the-job errors, providing a keen competetive edge in today's highly charged global marketplace. See all Editorial Reviews,books summary

I bought this book as I was interested in simulating in simprocess. The book is not useful at all neither for an experienced modeller, nor for a beginner. This is of no use for a practical modeller, theoreist or student.

It is more of an entertainment kind of book with very generalistic sporadic examples about where simulation application was successful and funny pictures, double space 16 font text with no content.

For beginners, one should rather buy "Business Process Simulation" by Laguna, which also has a student version of soft. One can go through simulation examples and learn a lot. (I bought this two books together)

In general, if you want to waist your time and money, and read something in half an hour and learn nothing, buy it. But but does it make sense to pay for nothing and make the authors rich just because they are from GACI or Ernst and Young consultancy. Bad use of their brand to promote the sales of the bad book (but probably not so bad software)I used to use ModSim by CACI on NeXT machine. Now CACI have the easier and PC-compatible, called SimProcess. This book is not only about Simulation sytem, but the great SimProcess user manual. This book is actually a geneal book of Simulation, not a Risk analysis or elses. CD-ROM, come with this book, is the SimProcess. Buy one get another free. But the software can be downloaded from the company website.

Groundbreaking, trend-setting, even earthshaking, these dynamic posters were selected from an extensive pool of entries, and each one has earned the new Graphis Gold Award for excellence. The best of the best have been awarded the Graphis Platinum Award for outstanding design. Advertising and design professionals, mark your calendars--Poster Annual 2008 is here! About the Author B.

Unfortunately, I bought this book sight unseen, based on the solid Graphis reputation. I will not make this mistake again. The majority of the posters look dated (think late 90s). To make matters worse, there are also multiple posters from the same firm/designer and, as each poster gets it's own full-page spread, they really feel like filler. Speaking of filler... the movie poster additions are just sad homages to the overzealous use of Photoshop filters. A better selection of quality posters can be found in any design magazine annual for much less money.
